My husband is 100% disabled Vietnam vet, agent orange. He's got diabetes, neuropathy, torn rotator cuff, bursitis in hips & PTSD. He's in pain all the time despite taking 12 different meds, including 800 mg Gabapentin 4x's/day, Lidocaine patches & diclofenac sodium gel.
He's had 5 back surgeries, 4 in just the past 4 years:
2013 - first lumbar surgery
2021 - cervical neck surgery;
2022 - lumbar surgery again;
2023 - re-do of 2022 lumbar because bone didn't heal properly & screws came loose;
2024 - redo of 2021 cervical because bone didn't heal properly & screws came loose.
As soon as I read your article I drove to Tractor Supply & bought DMSO gel for animals. I came home & lathered it on hubby's feet, shoulder & lower back & hips. He finally got relief - better than all the other pain meds he's taking! He's cheered up.
Doc, do you have or know of an article by someone you trust that goes into depth about actual use & strength for both topical and oral DMSO use?
I think most laypersons get the “for what and expected, reported results and side effects, but “how?” That is, how do you use/dilute DMSO 100%, for instance, and with what;
how often do/can it be used and are there recommended grace periods to let off use, the repeat;
what about maintenance/long term use; do you just put several drops on you hand and rub it over effected area or just anywhere or place pure DMSO drops sublingual, under the armpit…???
There’s lots of info out there, so where would you recommend people who are new to DMSO start, but also, a link for those who don’t have a lot of time or money to waste—just want to get started with simple instructions?
Book by Amandha Vollmer called Healing with DMSO is a great place to start. Has lots of recipes, precautions, etc. This is not in the book, but I've heard her say that if you take it with pomegranate juice it helps mitigate the smell that can be produced by the person taking it.
For topical purposes, as long as not on the face, a good dilution is 70% DMSO to 30% distilled water or pure aloe vera (not the gel junk w/ all the additives)
See the work of Dr. Mark L. Gordon. Sometimes PTSD is related to undiagnosed traumatic brain injury from concussions, blast zone exposure, etc. www.tbimedlegal.com Also see Joe Rogan #1056 as a sort of intro to the work of Dr. Gordon with veterans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jN6eBH8CFc Dr. Gordon addresses brain inflammation and hormone deficiencies. Best wishes!
I have a Tractor Supply near me. They've been my source for Bimectin. Thinking of trying DMSO from them. A little bit unsure of possible side effects though.
It's my understanding that only abt 6% of the population have a Sulphur allergy & shouldn't use dmso (a derivative of tree-paper processing). Start small & dilute the dmso with olive oil, castor oil, extra virgin coconut oil and/or Distilled or spring water (no faucet water). Use plastic as metals are not recommended in dmso usage. U can try a foot bath using hot water in a good plastic container- I use abt a 1½ gallons of D.water + abt ⅛-¼ cup 99% pure dmso (s/times adding abt ⅛ cup castor oil which is an Xcellent way2get the dmso thru the layers of skin). Lately I've often added 1or2 organic tobacco leaves for its detoxing properties. If u apply dmso & notice a slight skin rash or itch wipe it off & try diluting it and/or adding the oil. B sure2use only cotton -preferrably organic white as the dmso will carry dyes &synthetic materials n2 the body & u don't want that!! The dmso will travel2where it's needed.
That is where I got my DMSO and ivermectin which i have been taking with great results. I only just began trying the DMSO for pain in my hands, we'll see what happens.
I was trying DMSO for my hand pain, pictures indicate it could be duputryns so I used castor oil and dmso together on my hands and noticed no difference. I probably should have tried it longer. Our family has used DMSO for many years and alwasy got good results. But my right hand has gotten quite bad, I need to be so careful with what I do, and sometimes the tremor makes handwriting unreadable. And the pain makes it hard to sleep.
I have only managed pain in my hands through reading the books of DR> Sarno who writes on chronic pain and the cure for that. I suggest him when pain is chronic and responds to nothing else. Go to Amazon and find his books, healing back pain and others. Read all the reviews. You may see many who have cured their chronic hand pain. Get the books and see if you may be also one of us whom he has helped to get rid of pain. And you could try longer with DMSO as it seems to take some time to work. I swear by DR. Sarno for any aches and pains tho. God bless you!!
Upon your recommendatioon I got Dr Sarno's book, thank you. And MMS has helped my hand. It just stifles me to use it on my hands, cannot do anything while it is soaking in. Calm down Jacky, I guess I could just use that time to pray, meditate, it would do me good too. :)
Silly, replying to my own comment---but an addenda is needed. I am using the DMSO more often now, I just plan a time when I don't need to use my hands. There is some improvement for which I am grateful. But I am also using MMS a few fimes a day, and that has changed what I can do with my right hand. I could not close up my fingers, now I can make a fist, wring out a washcloth, screw a lid off of the milk jug. I could not do that before, I had pliars in the kitchen to do the job for me. Now I don't need them. Praising God. I am thinking that if I stick with my program, I will be much better soon. Between the too, off market, remedies, I am happy to be doing so much better. Also I am feeling more energetic, on a different nutrient program, and am doint the 1 mile walk with Leslie Sanson in the morning, while the DMSO dries, two benefits at once. I am one happy old lady.
How do you use the ivermectin you get at the tractor supply? Is it the paste? Do you apply it topically for skin infections or are you taking it internally?
I never saw this question til now. We take the ivermectin paste internally. We measure out a piece of the jell according to our weight, put it in a shot glass with a bit of water and swallow it down whole in a gulp. It is very easy that way, no taste or anything. And it works to mitigate the flu/covid and all the symptoms as well as a prophylactic to keep healthy and safe from any parasites. We have not used it topically but may think of this in the future. We have had no ill side effects. We know a friend used it to cure his prostate cancer successfully, along with a couple other meds.
Ivermectin should be taken with something fatty. Milk works well and helps to hid the taste. There is a product made in Calgary (AVL) that is a liquid and easier to take orally than the paste. If you are in the USA Ivermectin tablets are easier to come by than in Canada. You can order them through several Indian suppliers. You might also be interested in what a Canadian Doctor William Makis MD is doing treating a variety of cancers with Ivermectin, both orally and topically, depending on the cancer. I read recently that he has been using it in concert with DMSO, but I haven't been able to verify that as yet. He has a substack page and can also be found on Facebook.
No, we take it to prevent as well. The ivermectin comes in a tube as a jell and it has increments of weight on the tube. So you measure it accordingly to your weight and slice off a piece of the jell as you push it out of the tube. You will see this if you buy some. It is obvious and very easy.
A friend just shared that he (80 plus) uses ivermectin paste on his rosacea and it calms it down for a period, not a cure, but a help. I plan to try it too (80 plus plus)
My wife and I recently got some DMSO (from DMSOstore on amazon) and we've both been using it, and also giving some to our young daughter who has Down Syndrome. We've been giving her extra vitamins based on the treatment protocol of some studies that I found after reading your previous posts on this topic.
Almost immediately we noticed that our little girl was sleeping better through the night, and she's become more verbal. She'll be 2 in less than a week and she suddenly seems like she wants to say words more intentionally now, even if we mostly can't understand them yet. Also, her appetite has improved substantially. She just seems more active, and that's really awesome!
My wife writes about our daughter on her substack, although there aren't any DMSO specific posts yet:
I couldn't find any other information that was nearly as good as what you've written on DMSO. I did read a couple studies about potential nutritional deficiencies, so our protocol includes supplementing selenium, methylfolate, and trimethylglycine. There are a few other things I'm considering as well.
Here's one of the studies regarding nutrients including selenium:
That make sense. I am sure the research in this area on the supplemental nutrients has advanced greatly since when they were just using a few amino acids.
Wonderful to hear that you're supporting your daughter's nutrient deficiencies with supplements. After years in this space (daughter with CVID/PANS), I, and many other biomed families, have come to learn that it often comes back to the minerals! Selenium, Molyb and Iodine are commonly deficient. We also find that ramping up the minerals too quickly can cause painful detox symptoms (ramping up dormant pathways mobilizes toxins faster than they can be excreted).
Most of all, just wanted to jump on her and mention that what we avoid is equally important. It is important to try to avoid synthetic minerals or vitamins that are added to processed foods such as milks, juices, grains, and almost everything in a package. Our immune compromised kids cannot metabolize synthetic ingredients. The harms can be profound as they accumulate in the body. They can literally gum up your circulation, circulating in the blood, never entering the cells, and preventing various pathways to operate fully. It can take years for the body to get rid of these synthetic ingredients. Avoiding them is VERY hard to do as they are in everything. Synthetic forms of folate (Folic Acid), B12 and vitamin C are ubiquitous.
Something to consider regarding toxic chemicals in food supply: upon harvest, grains need to be dry... if due to weather at harvest, grain moisture level is too high, grain needs to be dried using heat ie electric heat, natural gas heat (mechanical heat - big cost). It is much less cost to use "desicant", that is to spray crop with chemical to cause grain to mature/ripen/dry out. I understant that there are a number of chemicals used ie glyphosate (formulations), which are not healthful.
DMSO comes in liquid or gel forms. I buy the liquid form, 99.9% pure, and put it in a 10ml glass bottle with a steel roller ball an add about 2ml of pure organic carrier oil (coconut, castor or jojoba). Then when something hurts, I just roll it on. Works instantly and I re-apply as needed. It’s especially helpful for tennis elbow due to computer usage for work. I also will add a few drops of essential oils known to relieve pain such as ginger, bay, turmeric, juniper, black pepper, etc. The DMSO allows the oils to penetrate the skin providing deeper and longer-lasting relief. The carrier oil helps reduce the side effect of itching that high-strength DMSO can sometimes cause. You can use it straight without adding oil but the skin might be more irritated by it. The irritation is temporary in my experience.
It is my understanding that metal should never b used in the preparation/application of DMSO. I've read many books on DMSO, followed many users, etc & I have used DMSO for many years with great success but I absolutely avoid using metal with same. Namaste.
If I were you, I would apply as strong I would try to start with a 25% DMSO & 75% castor oil, pure aloe or distilled water. Increase the strength a little daily as tolerated.
Mix in a dark glass bottle dilute it with castor oil, aloe or distilled water. I would work up to 75% DMSO, 25% of the other. I would also add some doTerra frankincense. 20-30 drops & shake before use.
I would do morning after a shower & before bed on clean skin. Be sure to wash hands before & afterwards if you rub it in. It’s a carrier so if you have cleaners or toxins on your skin, it will push them into your system.
Ian... So proud of you and your family! Stay the course... Avoid white coats and blue lights as far as possible!
One useful supplement for youngsters like your daughter is cannabidiol (CBD). I have had numerous Down's folks as patients and all have benefited from CBD - helps with anxiety and agitation. Kids and adults on ASD spectrum all are helped, as well as ADD/ADHD.
Charlotte's Web is a good source for 5mg gummies that has been helpful for many of my patients. https://www.charlottesweb.com/
The biggest issue with CBD is that it is unregulated if there is less than 0.3% THC with the CBD. Thus, I am convinced that many of the CBD products online and found everywhere from gas stations to grocery stores are bogus. Charlotte's Web is a reliable source and was a main driver behind CBD's widespread adoption.
Yes on Charlotte’s Web! I used it on my older Cattle Dog in the last 7 years of her life as well as another CBD product, HempRX Forte (hemp oil with CBD). She was diagnosed with Addison disease in when she was 14. She lived to be 16. I also made her food…no kibble!
DMSO is a game changer! I took some doxycycline for a week and a combination of MMS (chlorine dioxide) + DMSO to completely heal my infected tooth (it had the 'zit' on my gumline typical of infection). I also aimed a cheap red laser light at my cheek to help heal my infected tooth. My tooth is totally healed. No pain. No ouchies with hot or cold. If I'd have known how to treat my teeth this way I'd have never gotten so many root canals and fillings.
DMSO sends the healing right to the source. It's amazing stuff. It crosses the blood brain barrier too. Obviously, you have to be careful when using it. XOXO
I used a combination of CDS (chlorine dioxide solution) and DMSO in 4oz filtered water and brushed my teeth with it. Within a week my infected tooth was completely healed. I would have needed a root canal otherwise. 5 drops CDS and 15 drops DMSO.
I am forever grateful that Dr. Yoho recommended CDS. It helped with a recurring issue in my gum. CDS cleared it up but if I forget to take it, it comes back. So I will be a lifelong user. It took me awhile to add DMSO. Its heating up upon contact freaked me out a little bit but now I am comfortable taking it.
As a dentist please please just get your teeth cleaned. Many people today don’t trust us and for a good reason. Those who signed agreements with insurance companies to become participating providers, are the ones I wouldn’t trust. Others like myself with no such agreement work conservatively and for the benefit of a patient.
Have an X-ray of the tooth to determine what is the cause of the infection.
Would you go to the doctor if your hand was infected the same way? Why not to a dentist?
why not go to a dentist? because they don't like when I say no flouride for my kids, they don't like when I say no to sealing their teeth with chemicals and they don't like when I say no to X Rays. I don't like dentist offices that still do mercury fillings - or remove mercury fillings as it is in the air/environment - if I say no, they will kick me out of their practice. I'd love to find a dentist office that will clean and check my families teeth without all the extras I mentioned.
My reply is a bit late but, I clean my teeth so religiously, I don’t need a teeth cleaning like average people. I’ve gone to a dentist for a teeth cleaning after five years of not having a visit and they are always shocked how clean I keep my teeth and tell me that they have regular clients who come in with teeth not even close as clean and polished as mine after only a few months from their last cleaning. I also, abhor going to dentist appointments because I don’t like getting my head x-rayed every effing time. It’s ridiculou$. I’m sure you’re a rare and honest dentist but I’m fine taking care of my own dental health. I need a dentist like a comedian needs a room full of hecklers.
1- they put mercury poison in my mouth that leeched into my body. I had to get 5 teeth removed and 6 other fillings replaced.
2- They advocate systemic use of fluoride for tooth caries, when there is no benefit from systemic use of fluoride, it is a topical effect. While fluoride kills enzymes, which kills cells, which harms people, reduces IQ , and affects many parts of the body.
3- I was on to the fraud of dentistry, long before the fraud of modern medicine became apparent.
4- Although the toxicity of systemic fluoride is long ago proven, and the justification is based on non science from decades ago, while hundreds of studies showing harm are ignored?
The ADA still supports it. While we know for fact that the USA and Canada drink most of the systemically consumed fluoride on the planet.
5- root canals leave toxic shit in your mouth, even with cavitation. Dentists pimp them for profit.
I use colloidal silver for tooth problems. While I "pull" with it twice a week. I will never go to another dentist unless I am driven to it by pain.
I personally would<<NEVER..>use. the. services of an <<allopathic>> dentist...they are known as<DRILL-FILL-BILL..!!!>at 85...I don't have. to worry.....I WOULD. ONLY USE.......<<HOLISTC DENTISTS>>>THEY WILL<<NOT>>POISION YOU!!!!!!!!
I’m so so pleased you’ve discovered via Dr JM the benefits of DMSO. Several clinicians I know who have been similarly vilified have been using it surreptitiously with great success.
you can heal cavities! MCHA (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite) remineralizes your teeth - it's made from grass fed beef bones. I bought mine from www.orawellness.com and I make a homemade toothpaste with it. I also use bliss energetics tooth putty which also uses MCHA. You can actually feel your teeth 'growing' with small noticeable changes in your 'bite'
Please, could you be more specific on this? I’m dealing with the same thing right now. Could you elaborate on where and what brands of DMSO and MMS plus the carrier oils you used and where you got them? I don’t have the red light for that therapy either. Thanks!!
Amazing story. And i didn't expect such a hq song, as well. Tear jerker warning! I have autistic sons, and would love a dosing recommendation. What did you guys follow?
Both me and my daughter are on the spectrum because of vaccine damage.
Being on the spectrum is incredibly lonely. People don't understand the sheer lonliness aspect of being aspergers/autistic. There are many levels. Girls usually handle it better than boys but we 'mask'. a lot. I wish nothing but the best for your precious sons.
Have you detoxed the heavy metals? Also, a lot of people see significant progress by doing a parasite cleanse (they harbor heavy metals) There is a free book online about Chlorine Dioxide and how so many people have used it to 'cure' or drastically improve their children's autism symptoms ... one woman collected over 65 POUNDS of parasites from her autistic son! I will try to find the book. https://archive.org/details/healing-the-symptoms-known-as-autism-second-edition-9780989289023s_202011
I love Chlorine Dioxide…I’ve been making it for a while now. It’s an amazing healer. But, thank you for the info, MamaBear, all info shared is worthwhile to help spread the word. XOXO
I have read a lot the info on the Forgotten Side on DMSO . and many posts talk about 80% ,90% , that gets complicated . because I buy 99% DMSO . I usually work with 50% or 99%. I dilute the 99% to 50% using sterile filtered water . and start with that to see if it can be tolerated . I have been using a teaspoon of 99% in 1/3 cup of warm water ,as a teeth rinse . my tooth is much better .
I want to explain this further , as far as strokes , 50% or 99% DMSO pat on forehead and neck ,its like water , use clean hands , tap on like water . you can do it more than once , it will dry after a few minutes .
For a stroke victim in 2023 can the above method of of tapping dmso in 99% strength on forehead and neck still be beneficial? Do you dilute the 99% strength?
Julie ,I dilute the 99% with sterile water ,so I end up with 50% DMSO , and use that because the 99% burns ,unless its diluted . I have used many times ,for headache . and Dr.Mercola said to use if stroke is suspected . Pat the liquid on your forehead , and neck .
Julie , use half water , half DMSO , so to get 50% solution . its best to use filtered sterile water, , I have a severe sinus infection , and I mixed up 1/3 cup of water with 1/2 teaspoon DMSO ,(99%) and use a Q tip to put in my nostrils, it has helped , so much . I have been using 3-4 times a day .
I am still using 99% of DMSO (1 teaspoon) in 1/3 cup of hot water. once a day . as a mouth wash . There still is a tenderness above the tooth . what happened in the first place ,was there was a crown 3 teeth on two teeth pegged. the dentist during the install of the crown , nicked the peg , and put a tiny hole at the gum line . after 8 years ,the the tiny hole became a low grade infected and caused the tooth to decay at the gumline and infected the other good tooth and the crown broke off at the gum line . he ignored this at the time of install , I kept complaining , but he kept denying. I have been doing super cleaning to keep infection away ,also added the DMSO . I had this same thing happen years ago and the infection almost killed me , so I am fearful of dentists , so far I have kept the infection at bay .
For me ,it tastes so bad . and the instructions are "vague" at best . people do not state the % or how much they are using . or how often . so you have to use trial and error . and see what you can tolerate . Dr. Mercola said in an article that if some one has a stroke , to put 99% on the persons forehead . that it will go into the bloodstream .
Mary , I use 99% diluted with equal amount of sterile water , so 50% ,it does not burn . except for a mouth wash ,i use 3 oz. of water with 1/2 teaspoon 99% DMSO , that does not burn as a mouthwash .
Check out methylene blue for her also. There is a chapter about autism in Mark Sloan’s book. (I’m not sure what the similarities are, but MB is good for everyone. My husband and I have been taking it for about 10 months and have seen great benefits.)
I have been using DMSO for years and extensively in the past few months for all sorts of things - on the skin, orally up my nose (with great relief for my minor but chronic sinus infections), it healed a chronic infection in my ears with only two treatments, shrank a haemorrhoid to about 10% and took away all itchiness and works magic on my lower back problems. I tolerate 75% to 100% in my nose and ears.
This stuff is absolutely magic.
Don't overthink it.
Just get a bottle of 100% pharmaceutical grade and distilled water and start experimenting. Don't abuse the poor cats. :-)
Start with 10% and put in your eyes and rub it in your skin all around the eyes. If tolerated, go up to 20%, 30%, 40% as high up as you can manage. This stuff works very quick so you should notice results in weeks if you do it daily.
It won't harm you if you are reasonable. Grow some balls man.
You won't regret it. Good luck
PS: Use it on other parts and take it orally - it feel really good.
I learned of DMSO and Cds when in Mexico during covid. I had had one hip
replaced and doctors were recommending my knee next. I never got the jab. Tore 3 muscles in my shoulder playing ball and fought off those doctors who wanted to do a replacement.
I've used ivermectin and CDS to keep the 'virus' away. A salve of dmso with other pain soothing creams to soften the cartilage, numb the pain so I can keep my joints moving. Now, almost 5 years later I am 81 and playing pickleball as well as I did 5 years ago, and playing with the young ones who Don't believe my age.
Chlorine Dioxide Solution. (Now THERE'S a whole new rabbit hole for everyone to go down, but a good one.) See Dr Yoho's substack: https://robertyoho.substack.com/
Like to mimic / resume like above (shed victim from Pfizer trial co-worker;(. Parasympathetic unavailable. Any success w/DMSO treatments in this area welcome.
This was a note I received from a supporter of this newsletter:
You are awesome thank you so much for the work you do. Also read ur article on DMSO. I found a recipe for hemorrhoids 2 tbsp cocoa butter, 1 tsp dmso, 0.5 tsp potassium iodide. After 4 treatments a 5 yr old internal hemorrhoid has shrunk at least in half.
I gleaned the information off the site and figured out my own formula. At first I used coconut oil, Lugols Iodine, mixed with DMSO. I used a glass eye dropper to insert the mix.
After that, I mix up coco butter, lugols, and DMSO and poured mixture into plastic straws. Put in freezer. The straws make them very thin and easy to inset into the tender inflamed area.
I received immediate relief. With in a couple of minutes I felt relief. I could pass gas thirty minutes later.
No more blood in my stools. I also started a carnivore diet right after.
I’m also using the DMSO on my husband. He’s had a stroke and has Alzheimer’s/dementia. Hoping it helps him.
Carnivore definitely has. His COPD is gone!! Or at least he thinks it is as he is no longer on breathing treatments. He used to do six a day and we could not be to far away from his nebulizer. Now we are wondering if the COPD could of been food allergies? We just don’t know.
Oh, my tinnitus is gone! I put DMSO in my ears for about a week, however, I noticed a difference the first day.
Thank you for all you do. I really appreciate your Substack. When I have more money I will pay subscribe. Because your worth it.
Two friends of mine had their hemorrhoids vanish after a single subcutaneous thigh injection of .5ml of DMSO. They both had had them for many years, one of them for 15 years, and now they're completely clear.
Received via email: "I agree 100% with your opinion on DMSO. I am a physician ophthalmologist who actually wrote you several months ago about my plight when I refused the Covid vaccine and was fired from my job in 2021. DMSO is rapidly and easily absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, absorbing with it any molecule that is dissolved in it. I created my own DMSO solution that contains green tea extract (EGCG), turmeric (curcumin), and some other natural goodies. I have used it topically on myself and my children safely. I applied it daily to a couple of my benign skin lesions (seborrheic keratosis-type lesions) which regressed completely after approximately two months. I also applied it topically daily to my son’s ankle after he rolled it in a basketball game. The severe swelling and discomfort went away within a week, and he was back playing within two weeks. Imagine what other nutraceuticals and/or pharmaceuticals we could add to DMSO that could revolutionize medicine. I have many many ideas. I support your cause and I hope you’re doing well."
Do you use dmso for eye problems? I have 4 th nerve palsy and a wrinkle in one retina and a pseudo hole in the other plus mild cataracts. The double vision plus waviness have mae made getting glasses to give binocular vision impossible. I’ve see 3 neuropathologists and the prescriptions all make things worse. I’ve been thinking about dmso in my eyes but haven’t had any support to try
I tolerate up to 40% dmso diluted with saline. 1 drop. Vitamin C makes it sting. Which is the side effect reported when using DMSO & vitamin C to treat BCC (basal cell carcinoma).
Thank you so much!! I have grade 4 chondromalacia and basically no cartiladge left behind the kneecaps , due to a patellofemoral tracking disorder . I strained my knee several days ago and the swelling was significant . I thought I would have to have the fluid drained and steroid instilled . I have had this done twice in the past . I used castor oil first on my knee, rubbed it in, then, 100% DMSO . I iced and rested the knee. I did this two or three times a day . Amazing response!! Better than draining and steroid !! I put some DMSO on my dog’s paraspinal muscles . She has lumbar spondylitis . She was moving better and brought me a pine cone to thank me !!
Dmso is indeed marvelous. We gave 50 grams of Dmso i.v. daily for five months to a person who severed her lumbar spinal column. No organ damage noted from the Dmso and she can now drive and walk albeit slowly. Approximately forty (out of forty) patients with confirmed bacterial prostatitis have eliminated the bacteria in their prostate with a single dose of antibiotic dissolved in Dmso administrated via catheter three times a week for 4 weeks. No recurrences. Hematoxylin dissolved in Dmso i.v. has reverted several cancers. Speaking to the topic brought up in your Substack - LD50 - before employing the treatment an LD50 study was clearly necessary. Since a published study was not found we had to take on the challenge of doing one. At the dosis necessary the result was several times less toxic than acetaminofen mentioned in your article above.
Could I just add here that mid-December 2019 I underwent a TURP for BPH (that is I had a re-bore of my plumbing for a benign swollen prostate which had totally blocked my water pipe) - just in time before the covid debacle. Though it mostly cured my problems it remained difficult to pass water without a full bladder and I frequently wake in the mornings feeling pressure on my kidneys. About 3 or 4 weeks ago I started taking 99.95% dmso orally, a teaspoon per day in the morning.
Within 5 days several things were noticeable a) I pass water far more easily, b) my hearing accentuated, c) my eyesight improved somewhat, d) my mind was that much sharper and e) my blood pressure dropped from 160/90 to 150/80 and I just sense my heart is that much better.
PS
I had done a fair bit of research before jumping into dmso as I've had 2 ablations of the heart for atrial fibrillation. I'd already begun talking to my GP that I thought I was on too many meds for heart and BP (amlodipine, ramipril, bisoprolol and apixaban). We'd agreed to drop the ramipril and increase the amlodipine but this seemed to me to increase my BP. However, I unilaterally decided to dump the bisoprolol and apixaban and take up dmso. I feel totally justified in taking dictatorial control of my own body and I'm quite prepared to argue with the docs. (He'd relayed a message that the cardiologists had been emphatic that they I should continue the bisoprolol and apixaban but supplied no evidence or reason. Well, I'm sorry but, "Because the doctor says so" is, in my book, no longer a good reason to do so. In fact the opposite. Here in the UK the National Health Service is commanded by the National Harm Service who drive all the protocols. That they have suppressed dmso for decades is categoric proof that they are evil. They have intent to harm. Well, that is off my chest. Hahaha
my tip on prostate issues is really boring. about 10 years ago i stated to be aware of my prostate. i would have to get up 1-2 times a night to pee. it felt slightly uncomfortable. and sometimes i would get something like a spasm pain.
i started taking a lot of vit C for unrelated reasons. 2g/day. after about 6-12 months all the prostate stuff went away. my gum pockets at dental visits improved. i got colds/flus a lot less. finally i realized this was from the C. i've tried so many things that did nothing. but i still take C to this day. 2g a day. it's cheap, easy, and low toxic. although the internet seems to think i'll damage my kidneys. haha.
My husband started taking 2g vitamin C per day (1g morning, 1g evening) when covid started creeping into our country. He’s a builder and is always nicking/cutting/wounding himself in small ways. He found that all his little injuries were healing up in double quick time. He flew through covid just having a fever and sore head one evening ( even though he has asthma and sleep aponea) then off outside to work after one day. He probably has high vitamin D levels too, due to working outdoors.
i forgot about that. i never got sick from covid. i absolutely had the virus in my body due to taking care of sick covid mother, and my wife and kid getting it (very mild for them).
i give credit to vit C, D, and something my horse friend recommended. for a horse he's on the cutting edge.
Yes. Yes. Yes. I started taking 1 - 2 gr. Liposomal Vit C, pricey but I was willing to give it a shot as a doc I like recommended it. I guess it was about 6 mo, maybe more, I went to dentist, routine visit. X-rays. Saw a new hygienist, my age 63. She looked at my mouth, X-rays and was astounded. Your mouth looks like that of a 30 year old. I’m 63. And she said, we don’t see many 30 year olds anymore that have such a healthy mouth. No dark triangles, beautiful pink gums. I was overjoyed! I had years of dental ails prior to this. I think she was so stunned because she has been looking at teeth for 30+ years. And was used to be more the norm is now the exception. She said she might see this healthy mouth once a week, on a good week. She was elated.
Young hygienists, no offense, are used to seeing mouths in poor health. Now The norm.
I squeeze a fresh lemon every morning. But I'll look into vit C. I did see Agent.... post that VitD is rat poison and he is right. It is. I take 100 mcg / 5000 IU every morn. If I were a rat and ate 1000 tablets for breakfast there is a 50-50 chance I would die.
Vit D 3 with K. We need at least 10,000 iu. Of D. A day. Unless yu live in a very sunny spot. Some brave hospitals treated covid patients with 250,000 iu.! Yes 250 k.
It worked. It is very safe. As is Vit C. So is Horse Ivermectin. We have very special horses living right in our house, worth far more than the best race horses. When "viruses" hit we give the horses a half+ tsp. Once or twice a day.
Vit D3 with K2 specifically. K2 helps ensure Calcium in blood gets deposited in tissues versus in coronary arteries. Plus, if you take a toxic statin drug for cholesterol, statins block conversion of K1 ➡️K2, which likely is reason statins increase CAC (calcium deposition in arteries).
& Magnesium Kickstart the vitamin D³ - always good2take d³ with vitamin K, C & Zinc as they work synergistically - But never use products with fillers or binders!
Before the covid shot (I’m injured), I took 1000mgs of vitamin C daily. Now I can’t take it because it causes my lips to chap and causes stinging slits at the corners of my mouth. So, I no longer take vitamin C, sadly.
Most of the vitamin c taken is an acidic form. It tastes extremely tangy. But there are other forms such as Sodium Ascorbate. This has a slightly salty flavor. Very mild. That's what I take. I buy it in bulk and mix some in a glass of water. Might be worth a try.
Please try the liposomal version of Vitamin C because C is a vital part of our nutrition. Also, my granddaughter can only take a natural food based vitamin C. Search out the foods high in Vit C and add them to your diet. Take your vitamins with food as they are constituants of food and are better absorbed that way. Also, pray about this need and see how God will lead you. Prov. 3:5-8"Trust in the Lord with all your heart--------and it will be health to your naval and marrow to your bones." God created you and knows what you need, ask Him, He is good and gracious and generous.
2 g only? I have taken 8g every day in maybe 10 years, and I'm never sick, but I have tinnitus and a bad neck after a motorcycle accident. Thats why I just start with DMSO to see if it works. I also drink Colloidal Silver every day.
Yeah. From what I understand, it's diminishing returns. I once had a doctor that took something like 10 or 12 g a day. That's where I start having GI issues. 2 g a day is well above the RDA and taken long-term it's worked well for me.
This is exactly the kind of post I came here to search for. I struggle with feeble blood circulation in my legs below the knee (whatever that part of the leg is called in English). In combination with working (day and night) with computers, I ended up having two instances of pulmonary embolism, so, blood thinner is a thing for me.
My question is, can DMSO be of any help to get off Apixaban altogether? (I have NOT used Apixaban and DMSO at the same time while trying DMSO).
Anyway, my story:
* Two (2) instances of pulmonary embolism.
* first time: Eliquis for one year.
* second time: Eliquis AGAIN, but the prescription suddenly stopped after 6 months (early this spring).
* Inherited poor blood circulation in my lower legs.
* As a programmer, sitting very much.
* Compression socks tend to stop blood flow rather than speed it up... (I'm done with them).

So that was the background. And now I got interested in DMSO (and I have also tried applying Cayenne pepper on the lower legs and wrapping them with thin plastic. Cayenne pepper (from the food store) applied like this increases blood flow immediately (due to capsaisin, I presume), but it's greasy, messy and cumbersome to apply.
Now, you have had good results with DMSO, taking one teaspoon daily, and I'd like to know how much one can take per kg body weight, and if it also can help dissolve existing blood clots in the lungs and lower legs?
I'm pretty sure the clotting is at me again after my prescription of Eliquis was disrupted after 6 months (early spring) and the fact that I just couldn't increase my general fitness throughout the summer despite walking 5km every day, plus cycling etc. (had to rest 1 or 2 times along the 5km trail.
Feeling like a 90 year old at 63, although having no other health issues...
Anyone with experience of treating such a case (feeble blood circulation in lower legs with more serious pulmonary embolism almost guaranteed if not quickly finding a solution). I would prefer any effective (and convenient) alternative to eliquis.
My husband has, well I should say had, terrible varicose veins in his feet and shins as a result of breaking both ankles when he was in his 20s. I started using witch hazel on his legs letting it dry and then applying a 70/30 DMSO cream. He also takes he takes Hawthornberry (to strengthen the veins) and cayenne pepper capsules 3x a day (vaso dilation ). (see Barbara O'Neil's videos on YouTube) He used to have two spots that I called "bulging roses" they have all but disappeared. The smaller veins on top of his feet and sides of his ankles are improving everyday. We also bought a wedge so he can elevate his legs when he sleeps. He's not one to lay on the couch during the day so I had to get him to do it at bedtime.
Another thing we used DMSO for was to get rid of toe nail fungus. A few years ago he saw podiatrist and had his toe nail removed because of nail fungus. the toe nail grew back a bit but never much past the quick and the nail bed was useless. We tried all sorts of things Tea Tree Oil, commercial nail fungus products, etc. Nothing worked. So we decided to try something new. He soaked his feet in Epsom salt foot bath every night. Then at bed time we put Ivermectin paste on the toe and then DMSO cream and put a sterile bandaid over it. In the morning after his shower before dressing he did it again. Within a week the toe nail was free of fungus. Today it's still gone and the toe nail has grown back healthy.
I have tinnitus and some hearing loss in one ear (2020) and was wondering if ingesting DMSO or applying it topically would be best to help tinnitus and hearing, but am having trouble locating any specifics in regards to tinnitus. Anybody?
My husband has been using a 50% dmso in distilled water as ear drops. Twice a day. Leaving the drops in for 15 mins on each side. He is experiencing increasing improvement with his hearing. He's had to got to Costco twice to have his hearing aids recalibrated.
I used 20% DMSO in saline eye drops in one of my ears that felt like it was blocked, and the problem eventually went away. It might have been the DMSO, or it could have been coincidence. DMSO seems to help with a lot of things. A lot of coincidences.
I applied the eyedrops to my ears sporadically over a period of time.
I have just recently been using something very similar for toenail fungus. Have had the issue for decades, nothing seemed to help. About a month ago, I mixed 1/3 DMSO, 1/3 iodine spray, 1/3 ivermectin cattle dip (a tincture of ivermectin in isopropyl alcohol) -- all available at my local farm co-op. Put a drop or two on my bad toe nails near the base and at the outer end, once in the morning, once in the evening. Within a week or two the fungus seemed to be dead and the toenail aches stopped, but I have continued applying it while the nail grows out. It is too early to know what the long term nail growth will be, whether just nail bed, or completely restored, but this has worked FAR BETTER than anything else I have ever tried.
Thank you!! I tried a number of different products as well and like your husband, my nail would never grow beyond white part too. My latest attempt, which seems to be working a miracle, is Vicks Vapor Rub. I have been using it for about 4 months (Aug to Dec) and the nail is finally growing about half way up...the nail bed above is finally dry. Hopefully, in about six months it'll be back.
I love this, use what you have, healthy, God leads us in the way we should go. What I do, or you do, won't work for everyone, so we all seek to know the way God would have us go and do and it works. Amen
Coincidence seeing your post today as I too have a clot DVT in my leg and was just reading dmso user comments on Amazon, and saw this: excerpt “….recently i had a blood clot in my leg, i used it once an hour 24 hrs then several times a day and rubbing over my leg every few hours and within 8 days it was gone, which was proven by ultrasound…” If want to read his full comment look up those under the “DMSO 8 oz. Glass Bottle Non-diluted 99.995% Low Odor Pharma Grade Liquid” from the DMSO Store on Amazon. I am on compression stockings for life, occasionally go without, but when sitting I always elevate my leg on desk or tabletop. And homeopathic Ledum 1M gives relief too when I feel concern in leg. Aside, a vascular surgeon said I’d be on blood thinners for life, and blessedly at urging of a friend I saw a highly acclaimed orthopedic doc who’s specialty is hip and knee replacements who said my swelling was due to the thinners, a cardiologist confirmed no need for thinner as clot had probably been there for over 50yr (as I was bedridden for seven months after major broken leg car accident back then). Blessed to get a life altering second opinion so no thinner or knee replacement.
From one thing to another; I have a question about recovery of injured or degenerated joint cartilage (The "knee replacement" statement caught my special attention.)
Background: A short while ago I was developing (low-level programming of) software for analyzing 3D CT & MRI scans of injured shoulders, knees & spine etc., in cooperation with a surgeon and some other domain experts. This very kind surgeon once mentioned, that if an injured cartilage in the joints is ruined more than ~25%, then it will never recover.
(My guess is that it has something to do with cell-signaling becoming too weak as the cartilage gets destroyed, but who knows).
Now, based on my worldview I felt that the claim that "it can never recover again" cannot be an absolute truth, because biological systems tend to be smarter than us in the sense that our biology is essentially advanced information systems, even communication systems between cells, aso (and these systems can be tampered with in both good and bad ways).
So, I replied that I don't believe that the "cannot recover"-part in his statement to be absolutely true (although it's probably the common understanding out there).
More likely, what may happen in these cases perhaps is that the cell signaling gets "weakened", or gene methylation kicks in (or whatever mechanisms are involved) and so the cartilage stops (re)generating. I mean, if it can heal at some degree of injury, then it should (theoretically) be able to heal at ANY degree of injury (at least if we could help it to heal).
I also mentioned the simple fact that in the embryological stages cartilage develops without any problem, and cancer cells have the opposite problem (difficult to stop from spouting new cells, aso...). The genes involved in genetic mechanisms (even in GRNs) activated during embryological stages often get replaced in later stages of the embryo.-growth (one gene can swap into entirely new roles up to 5 times during the embryological growth (Eric Davidson, CalTech), so some pre-existing functionality may get lost for good, but who knows exactly what genetic potential stays for life[*]?).
In any case, the claim that "cartilage cannot renew itself" stuck with me, and since this is a very (very) big problem in the wild, I'm curious to learn if there's any "uncommon knowledge" out there that can shed more light on what can be done about ruined cartilage in joints?
----
[*] From a design-perspective (I'm a software designer myself), it would be wasteful (read; idiotic) to keep all the scaffolding and support structures needed during the construction of a building, or our bodies, for the rest of the lifetime of the building or the body, because that specific genetic information that will never be used again would have to be maintained and consume energy for say another hundred years while being effective only "during the construction" of the body, often only for a couple of hours, days or weeks.
I don’t know if cartilage can renew itself or not, but I have had some version of prolotherapy done on my knee for torn meniscus and shoulder for tendon damage and in both cases it was wildly successful. My shoulder was less damaged and gets used less, and I only went to one of four appointments. I have complete pain free use of my shoulder still and the treatment was a good 15 years ago. My knee was swollen to the point I couldn’t walk, much less work (I am a tree climber/arborist and used to run a lot). I got 3 of the 4 prescribed treatments and I went back full time to tree climbing and have run many races since then including two full marathons. For my shoulder, the doc just injected an inert solution to provoke inflammation and that worked. For my knee, he centrifuged my own blood in the office and injected some of the blood cells directly into the wound. Some swelling, some discomfort, after 24 hours all of that is gone and you go on as before. Usually one month between visits. Incredibly cheap compared to surgery, and no side effects. I Used Dr Tallman in Scottsdale/Phoenix Arizona, who is an incredibly compassionate and conscientious doctor and who worked with me with the price because I didn’t have much. The Platelet Rich Plasma PRP treatments are now widely used in sports medicine and you can get them just about anywhere, though it helps to find a doc who does his homework on the injury and is thorough and conscientious and pays attention to where the needle goes.
I save a lot of blog posts and reader comments, not assuming helpful websites will always remain accessible, just searched my files and found a couple of ‘cartilage’ comments fwiw, both from the AMD articles:
1__“I have grade 4 chondromalacia and basically no cartiladge left behind the kneecaps , due to a patellofemoral tracking disorder . I strained my knee several days ago and the swelling was significant . I thought I would have to have the fluid drained and steroid instilled . I have had this done twice in the past . I used castor oil first on my knee, rubbed it in, then, 100% DMSO . I iced and rested the knee. I did this two or three times a day . Amazing response!! Better than draining and steroid !“
2__”I crushed the cartilage in my right ear by accident, applied DMSO, and the wound was healed in three days, without scars.”
BTW the Amazon commenter I mentioned earlier (treating the clot in his leg) also noted that a dmso teaspoon stopped a stroke while it was happening in his mother, and with dmso his parents (father is 93yo) have been off blood thinners for three years now though not clear to me what daily dose he now gives them---maybe a tablespoon---anyway maybe encouraging to think it a future possibility….
Good luck accessing IVM, on other sites I’ve gotten the impression some will relabel the IVM bottle so customs will let it in. Or maybe another in Europe like Tess Lawrie could be helpful.
You can buy pharmaceutically pure IVM labelled for veterinary use - 12mg tablets as Pet Mectin, on the devils own marketplace Amazon. Very reasonable cost.
Loves "the devils own marketplace" my sentiments, why support china and then complain about the lack of industrial activity at home? duh we used to say
Cell signalling. Well you may like to See the website for Asea Redox. See what you think. It is supposed to trigger cell signalling. We have used it only a short while(2 months) for tissue and tendon damage and terrific pain. And amazed how it works. There are a lot of amazing testimonials. On the other hand. We also found DMSO helped the pain. From an Old injury. Anybody else know any comparisons ASEA to DMSO?
I have tied ASEA but I think the DMSO works way faster and seems more permanent after just a few applications plus way cheaper my husband had severe pain in his shoulder and arthritis in the ball joint. Two applications of DMSO in 2 days his pain was gone
Rolf, i hope you see my comment, meant to be a reply here (but moved due to having to sign in and it getting caught up in the mix, i guess). My comment should be near the top of the page (on July 7). Basically promoting glucosamine (not the chondroiton which i have no experience with) and then a mix of stuff found in 'heal-n-soothe'.
Short answer: in your shoes I would not hesitate to take dmso instead of apixaban/eliquis. The latter inhibits Factor Xa, an amplification enzyme in the cascade of coagulation. It prevents clots. It does nothing else. Dmso additionally removes clots and increases blood perfusion throughout the body. It is criminal that they do not prescribe it. IMO.
If you're going to take it orally make sure you get 99.9% or better. Topically Dr. Stanley Jacob found 70% strength optimal, usually. You can get 70% in aloe vera in HDPE bottles. (That hard plastic is supposed to be OK)
As to how much I don't know the limit, it is likely quite a lot. But I believe Jacob himself drank an ounce a day (5 teaspoons). He himself said it was very individual how much was best. Take it slow and try to find the best for you. Give your body a chance to respond to its new resource. It has to learn how to use it. (In a pulmonary emergency I'd just slap it on. :-)
Try a little on your skin first to make sure you are not allergic.
I got myself a box of eliquis (doctors panicked after a routine health check when discovering that my prescription had been interrupted last spring. They said I should be on eliquis for life). But although I have the box now I will not open it before I have tried DMSO orally for a month or so. Hopefully I will never have to open it again.
But if I stop responding here you'll know it didn't end as expected... ;-)
For 4 days now I have taken a teaspoon of 99.9% DMSO orally, mixed in a glass of orange juice or distilled water (tap water not the best quality in my town).
Do I understand you correctly that it would be better to sip a "clean 70%" mix (mixing the 99.9% DMSO with 30% distilled water) rather than mixing it with a glass full of distilled water? (I've tried a 50% concentration tablespoon earlier (orally) without any problem).
Anyway, I will try double the amount each day for two consecutive days and see how I respond. If I can tolerate up to, say 4-5 teaspoons a day for a month, I think I can feel confident to turn this around, and then perhaps reduce it some after that.
I don't think I have a pulmonary emergency just yet but it could quickly end up in an emergency again if I'm not addressing it immediately. So I'll increase the dose immediately (in a minute or two).
I feel your reply is very helpful since I now know at least the "theoretical limits" (for example the "5 teaspoons a day" remark). Thank you!
"MOUSE WRIST"
BTW, I've noticed some significant rash on the skin when applied topically on the wrist on my "mouse arm" (perhaps a carpal tunnel syndrome). But since the itching calms down after an hour or two I don't care much about it if it fixes my wrist (remains to see). I call it a "mouse-wrist" so I'm using two mice, one for each hand.
Very best wishes! for me the greatest thing is the perfusion. The blood is the life, as the Bible says. Get the blood going where is should be and the body will heal itself.
I think the way you are taking dmso orally now is fine. The 70% is for wiping onto your legs. Does not help to rub it in. Wipe it on and leave it to dry for 15-20 minutes if possible.
I am fortunate in that I do not get a rash. The dilution to 70% is meant to ease that rash, that was Jacob's experience. The aloe vera similarly eases the itching.
>"The blood is the life, as the Bible says. Get the blood going where is should be and the body will heal itself."
Amen. Our body is designed to heal itself. Although in a broken world it needs a push here and there to do its thing. Both body and soul gets it life through the blood.
Dr John Ellis in south Texas is a hand specialist. I had carpal tunnel ( self diagnosed---just cringe at going to dr) and he uses Vit B6 to rebuild the myeilin sheath, and it worked for me. I already take 200mg B complex daily and added 100 mg Vit B6 and in 100 days, no more pain or disability. Praising God, 100 pills for about $6 lots cheaper and easier than surgery. I should have used DMSO too but didn't think of it.
Is it possible to take DMSO while taking Eliquis? My husband was just diagnosed with portal vein thrombosis and cardiomegaly and the doctor prescribed Eliquis.
Quite probably as they have separate actions. I have the confidence to go with DMSO alone because I sincerely believe it to be superior. But I'm not your husband and I'm not a doctor. Eliquis has a single action - it inhibits an enzyme.
My own thought process was that there may just possibly be a cross-reactivity - but I do not know of any occasion on which a thing has occurred with any other drug. I stopped the Eliquis (Apixaban is just another name for it.) and started the DMSO at the same time. Nevertheless you are wise to be cautious. Perhaps talk to your doctor.
.Especially for blood thinning. Unless you are on medical bood.thinners. And try rubbi g DMSO on the legs once.or twice. Just a thought.
Nattokinase.is important for anyone who has had a recent shot or even been near.someone who has. IN OTHER WORDS, EVERYONE. Everyone is at risk of clotting now. See also Pierre Kory,MD posts. Or Peter McCullough, MD.
.. IT (Nattonkinase) IS one of a few choice.remedies for detoxing from "IT". Ive used it for years to heal from strokes.
Dr Klinghardt agrees, we all have the spike protein even if we didn't get the clot shot. Natto or lumbrokinase, 200 mg suppository melatonin, IVM, wax bound niacin and maybe toss in 5mg of cialis! Women too.
At the time of writing that I used distilled water (bad water in our town), but since then I have purchased a water filter connected to the tap water, so I can both drink and use that water instead of distilled water.
Example with Micro spiral filter (even better than coal filter):
I live in the South of Sweden but I was born some 120 km North of the Arctic Circle where water was clean and actually tastes GOOD. With this filter I feel like "home" again - water tastes good again! ;-)
I totally agree and have been taking Nattokinase tablets for a couple of years, but I don't know if I should continue indefinitely or if it's 'safe' to stop. I didn't have any adverse reaction to 'it', but took the supplement just in case.
Lack of circulation can be due to clogged arteries, which, according to the Pauling and Rath theory, comes from a lack of vitamin C. Their protocol is 6-18 grams of vitamin C a day and 3-6 grams of L-lysine a day. People with chest pain have seen relief within 10 days to a month of starting this protocol, so I'm thinking if this can unclog coronary arteries, it can do the same for the legs, maybe. Also, read AMD articles\ on restoring the zeta potential.
Have u tried Dr. Christopher's Cayenne Pepper extract? I use it frequently to clear arteries & improve BP. It is known2heal blood bleeds anywhere in the body & will stop strokes-heart attacks within minutes. I've had 2ea & now carry my xtract with me.
MarshaGail wrote: >"Have u tried Dr. Christopher's Cayenne Pepper extract?"
No, but I have used regular "table Cayenne Pepper" from the food store. It works very well, and boosts blood flow immensely within half an hour. Only problem is it's not convenient to apply (olive oil to make it stick on the lower legs, then try to sprinkle the CP on the oil, then try to cover it with some thin plastic...). Too messy.
I've also tried some ointment containing Capsaisin, but it only hurts while not doing much good.
But Cayenne Pepper works incredibly well, if it only wasn't that messy.

I have used the high potency 180K heat units of this stuff for about 3 1/2 years after a mild heart attack. Every day I take 3-4 drops with other herbs in water. No problems at all. Doctors wanted me on several heart drugs and also do a stent or two. I refused it all. Male, age 75. About $15/bottle that lasts almost a year.
When I was diagnosed with A Fib and a pulmonary blood clot I was put on eliquis, later heard about a clot buster/blood thinner LUMBROKINASE and now I take that instead, CT scan showed blood clot gone, don't know for sure what did it but I am off of the heart medicine and Eliquis, and have not had an episode in a week or more. Stay natural if at all possible. I am 87 and doing well. Also a user of DMSO for many years.
Some further thoughts came later… I subscribe to a newsletter by Scott Marsland and recalled he recently wrote about Sulodexide, recently which he thought was better, safer, and cheaper than Eliquis for example. (Scott works with Dr Pierre Kory in the “Leading Edge Clinic” (https://drpierrekory.com/ which may be of interest itself to you as they do telehealth consults). (Dr Kory like AMD is a true hero, whom you should know of, he and the Midwestern Doctor occasionally post comments of each other’s research and thoughts on their X twitter threads.)
Some excerpts “… my cardiac echo had shown that I was in heart failure after the COVID shots, with an ejection fraction of 40% and four leaky valves. Three months ago I started taking Sulodexide…...What is reassuring about Sulodexide is that is has been approved by European drug agencies and has been in use since 1972…. is available as a generic medication, which makes it cheaper than comparable drugs such as Eliquis… being cheaper and safer than Eliquis makes it very unlikely that we will see Sulodexide approved by the FDA anytime soon, as it would threaten the Big Pharma…..I know it is scary to think of this, but 100% of the patients we have tested have had micro clotting..’’
Nattokinase and Neprinol also worth learning about.
I've recognized Dr. Pierre Kory since the start of the FLCCC. I think he hinted at this blog. I take Nattokinase regularly.
BTW, I didn't take the clot shot.
I will read up on Sulodexide.
In Sweden, we can't buy many substances that seem to be easily available in the USA and other countries (like Ivermectin etc),and if we try to import it, it will be stopped at the customs.
Also too many MDs have become salesmen for Big Pharma while camouflaging as medical doctors. Many just won't let go of the hockey board and instead think for themselves. Blogs and reader comments like this is a blessing from God.
Not going into details, but difficult times are coming ("foundations are shaking") and everything that makes it possible to stay alive without depending on big pharma needs to be learned asap.
After a heart incident I was put on Elequis, hating to take drugs, my grandaughter told me about lumbrokinase, I am taking that instead. cat scan said no blood clot in lung. Praise God
I have an app on my computer to "Walk away the pounds" with Leslie Sansone. I am 88 years old, female, I walk with her daily. This one is 12 min. to do a mile. Very easy, warm up, cool down. 15 min max. Do this several times a day. If you can get a rebounder ( mini trampoline) that is even better. You don't have to even jump on it, just gently bounce for 5 min. several times a day. I pumps your lymph system and your blood flow. God made our bodies to move, too much sitting hurts us in many ways. God bless and strengthen you. I see you are a man, and there are 2 men that do the program with Leslie. One Mile Walk, she has several on You Tube, and your can watch freely, or buy a DVD. I like free. :)
CAYENNE PEPPER IS GREAT FOR BLOOD CIRCULATION,I USE IT DAILY....AS A SPICE..I.SPRINGLE IT ON MY FOOD..BUY CAYENNE PEPPERS,CRASH THEM YOURSELF...STORE BOUGHT?????? COULD BE OLDER THAN ME!!!!!!!!!!!
Nattokinase 12,000 FUs morning and evening on an empty stomach or at least 2 hours away from food. Please wait at least 45 minutes after taking them before consuming food. Continue for at least 6 months. Have a Doppler study done on the circulation in your legs so you can have it before and after.
Those concerned with clots, look into fibrinolytic enzymes lumbrokinase and serrapeptase, they dissolve clots and scars and such. Mercola has written about them.
Dr Carolyn Dean wrote a book Magnesium Miracle and claims AFib and a lot / most heart problems are magnesium deficiency. You want to do a Magnesium RBC test, not just a blood test as the blood will pull minerals from the cells to maintain homeostasis. Check out her book and maybe test your Mag levels?
9 fluid ounces (about half a pint or one mug full) of boiled tap water in the following manner. I live in an area where the Welsh Water supply is very soft. There is zero scale in the kettle. It is not fluorided and not over-chlorinated. (Trent Water in the Nottingham area is dreadful for over-chlorination. Your bath water can be blue.)
Ever before I'd heard of DMSO it has been my habit to make a peppermint tea before going to bed then put the juice of half or a whole fresh lemon, depending on its size and drink that after my porridge (grits). I have simply added a teaspoon to my morning drink.
Maurice,Nottingham??????Brings back beautiful memories....1962....i worked at...HS UNIVERSITY...i did a couple of years at Oxford U....in Canada since 1964...then a beautiful country...now.....a banana republic.....Maurice...i would like to talk to you about DMSO<HOW TO> USE IT....CLEAR DIRECTIONS...I ordered and just got delivered about 5 minutes ago a book...<HEALING WITH DMSO> by Dr. ROSEMONT MICHAEL...I hope to find the answer I need....God bless...Mario........cbc1960slife@gmail.com
I prepared a teaspoon of it but ... Got scared when it felt hot like it would burn...spit it out and rinsed my mouth with tap water... Another thing: it would be great if those testimonials here would include the DMSO concentration 99? 60? 25? Otherwise it's kind of hmmm unclear for a beginner like me.
Yes, if you drink it neat, it does get warm! It tastes awful too. Try putting it in orange juice or something. If you are drinking it rather than putting it on your skin buy 99.9% pure. Stanley Jacob found many could not take pure on the skin and generally used 70%
I have a book that says it should not be taken with vitamin C so we take a tsp of 99.5% in a small glass of water with a splash of black currant juice and a few drops of liquid stevia. I have also tried using DMSO to dissolve curcumin and make it more bioavailable but that was not entirely successful since I still got lumps. Next time I will add some MCT oil first to curcumin and maybe warm it slightly.
Thank you for answering, Maurice. Yes I read throughout the comments and saw you put it in orange juice so I just got a glass of water and yes still tastes awful in plain water but I follow it with half a teaspoon of a herbal compound that coincidentally has an orange flavor and it takes care of the engine oil taste. It's 99 the one I am using. Just a few days on it now. At first when I tried it raw I thought “daaaamn I'm gonna diiiie” lol
You say a tsp/day in the morning. Do you do that on an empty stomach? Do you stir it in water and just throw it down the hatch? Did you start at a tsp? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Well I live in the UK so I buy from here. This is the most famous brand but it is pricey. Look for 99.98% pure, brown glass bottle and I like a cardboard container to really keep light out. There are usually no instructions as in many jurisdictions it can only be sold as a solvent not a medication. That is how evil the Powers are.
That should have been _not synthesised from petrochemicals, or whatever. Don't thing Pole at the end of the line grasped my question. I should have put it more bluntly, "Is this really extracted from wood pulp or not?" The manufacturer is Chem Point SP of Krakow. The label says, "It's a natural substance originating from wood pulp." (In English)
I suspect the Polish DMSO is made from actual wood pulp and synthesized from petrochemicals. I have asked the company. The bottle is blue glass. Should be fine but I'm suspicious of plastics, even the hard ones.
I think that is a wonderful story and I believe every word. Right now I am using MMS twice a day so I don't think I will start the DMSO just yet, but eyesight better ( I am using drops for glaucoma) and hearing ( what did you say, please repeat that, is the mike on? at church) all those issues resolved with, DMSO, you betcha I am going to use it. I have had some amazing results, totally unexpected, with the MMS. just 3 drops twice a day. I have a contracture in my right hand, I could not make a fist and was in pain all the time, now I can make a fist and the only pain is numbness and tingling. Remarkable I think. Hand is still weak, but I can take the top off of my milk jug. Before I was using pliars. God is so good to let us have this information that we might be in better health and function as we should. I am 88, female, and am looking forward to more improvements. Glory to God. Jacky
I've tried MMS several times but it upsets my stomach. Finally I made CDS according to the protocol of Dr. Andreas Kalcker. It takes 2 days but it really easy. Pour the solution into a brown glass bottle and refrigerate and it keeps forever. We dilute a tsp of the CDS solution into 500 ml of water and take as often as needed for colds, infection etc. Very much easier than MMS!
Oh dear. Yes, sorry to say some are especially sensitive to the odour. I had very noticeable improvements after just 5 days. I now only take it from time to time as I feel I need it. But it is now a permanent fixture in the medicine cabinet. Would not be without it.
I am thrilled that you read and pinned my text doctor MWD. The complicated world of today requires an uncertain balance between reserve and 'getting a topic out'. I took a gamble with your Substack (I read all of MWD postings) and it payed off.
Thank you for that !
'Yes' to writing for your Substack on practical experiences with Dmso.
I would be most happy to write about anything Dmso, with exception the last topic above.
For that could you provide me with a 'side lobe' communication to your substack specifically for that topic ?
On that topic I can mention for now that I have accepted to present at Frontiers 8 annual IAOH Ozone conference Nov. 08 in Charleston S.C. This will be the first time I will have presented this topic.
Thank you! I have a large background with Ozone, and I've essentially just not written about it here yet because it was more well known (compared to UVBI or DMSO).
Regarding DMSO: basically, what would help me is a summary of all your clinical experience with it as there are very few DMSO doctors now. That could include elaborating on what you wrote above, or going into a lot more. Similarly, if you do a rough cut at it, I could ask a few questions and point out areas for you to elaborate. I really want to get the DMSO topic into public awareness, so I've been quite methodical on how I've delved into it, but as I'm sure you know, there's a lot I still have not touched. I also am not as familiar with the spanish literature (which I'm guessing you are) so there are probably some critical studies you know of that I do not.
Beyond that though, having a real named doctor who is currently practicing with IV DMSO and getting results with it will do a lot to cement the credibility of this, and I am relatively sure if it's put together correctly, a lot of people will want to fly out to your clinic, which in turn will advance my goal of bringing more awareness to this topic and make more people in the USA want to offer it.
I’m looking for a dmso protocol for treating my Dupuytrens contracture, both little fingers. Have had several needle procedure and one xiaflex injection. Each time had recurrence. I’ve purchased Amazon “Nature’s gift” DMSO in glass bottle and magnesium chloride oil “organic magnesium.com” also in glass bottle.
Dr. Robert Yoho has some good info on helping autism with MMS aka CDS/chlorine dioxide, a superstar like DMSO. He has 2 interviews with Kerri Rivera who has had much success with autism and that product.
Some people have seen good results with zeolite for autism personally I think the best brand is Meagmin activ though I have seen numerous review on amazon on different brands that it helped for autism in terms of learning new words and social skills
Thank you for your very helpful post. So the plastic used for catheters is okay for DMSO? What about the commonly available 60cc syringes? I have used such a syringe to inject Chinese herbs through a catheter to treat prostate issues and have been wondering whether to risk using DMSO. And if DMSO, in what dilution?
I've used topical DMSO for prostate issues and aches and pains with success. Can't advise this, but ingesting it reduced my abdominal distension in the upper GI. It's a double-edged sword and can be irritating and relieving at the same time if too strong. It seems to be useful for painful cancerous tumors, and given its anticancer properties and IV use in cancer treatment, I believe topical DMSO is a good add-on cancer treatment. It can also be instilled into the bladder or urethra for interstitial cystitis or prostate issue, and there is in fact a method of doing this without a catheter. Prostate can also be targeted with rectal DMSO. DMSO and magnesium oil (magnesium chloride) make a killer combo topical. Hyaluronic acid powder can be used to add viscosity and turn it into a gel. Hyaluronic acid takes a day to gel in water, but it instantly disperses in pure DMSO. Then if you add water, it immediately forms a usable gel, albeit not yet perfect. Topical DMSO is tolerated without skin side effects usually up to 70%. There is some literature on systemic reactions, so I would always do a sensitivity test before diving in. There is a supplier of low-odor DMSO which I have found does in fact smell less.
This was a note I received from a supporter of this newsletter:
I used a DSMO gel on my lower right jaw bone. I had a painful infected molar. They said I needed a root canal. In one day the pain was gone. I kept up the treatment, a minuscule amount of gel on my jaw twice a day for 4 days. The infection vanished. I had impaired blood flow due to myocarditis. The DSMO gel improved my shortness of breath.
Your articles are a blessing to me. I'm post spine surgery #16...10+ fractures, 4 fusions, nerve transfers...6 discs going bad...AS, parathyroid tumor, now gone, (long undiagnosed)...and today, I was utterly miserable. Read your articles, and remembered I have a jar of the DMSO gel. Put it on an hour ago...it's working. God bless you! Words cannot explain the hope I now have.
Grateful ol gal here reading these comments after reading the publication MWD! Thank you isn’t enough for folks such as yourself that get this live saving, in depth, information out!
After reading some of the horrific health issues so many have endured, I feel a bit guilty for even commenting and asking……however, I’m a 56 year old woman that was diagnosed at the UC Davis Pain Clinic 20 years ago with Myofascial Pain Syndrome. It irks me when I’m thrown into the Fibromyalgia vat, but that’s beside the point. A long laundry list includes, hypothyroidism, Degenerative Disc Disease that’s so far resulted in lumbar fusion. Currently another disc is bulging and a disc in the neck for the first as well. Bone on bone left knee that’s had meniscus removal and I’m desperately trying to avoid a replacement! My back surgery was a living nightmare despite a truly good surgeon that did a good job. Due to the nature of the discs bulging, one almost bursting through the abdominal wall…I was opened up on both sides however. . It was the pain. Being on opioids for years, my pain could NOT be resolved. Screamed for hours, days actually, the O.R. nurse in tears that stayed well past her shift fearing she’d kill me from the literal elephant sized doses. They ran a central line in case…... I ultimately was in a rehab center for three weeks due to the pain. That was 2011 and through the years I’ve been able to live with a certain amount of pain in order to remain functional and lucid. I still take opioids but I’m far from pain free, nor do I expect to be, but I would love to completely stop them!
I take turmeric which has helped with some inflammation and I take a product called Heal and Soothe with some helpful enzymes, devils claw, rutin, and others I recently added topicals magnesium and vitamin D3.
If you’ve had someone with similar experiences, I’d be grateful to know how much to use, as well as, if it’d be better to take internally to deal with the inflammation of the fascia. I’d literally have to apply a topical from head to toe, so if I could avoid that aspect, it’d be great.
God bless you and God bless everyone here that’s dealing with so very much! My prayers are with all!
I think maybe you should read all of Dr. John Sarno's books and Steve Ozanich too. Read all of these with an open mind and you may begin to experience what thousands have, no pain. WHEN YOU order his 3 books on Amazon, make sure you read all the reviews of those who bought and read the books with great successes. the best to you. You won't be the worst afflicted who has been helped.
Thank you for the recommendation! My feed is just showing me of these comments. Tech is infuriating at times! I’ve not heard of this author and I’ll most definitely seek it out! 🙏🏻
DMSO for sure. And Natures Sunshine brand . PAIN KILLER. called "EIGHT". has helped us with bad k ee and neck pain..or other herbals with White Willow bark.
Am So sorry for you. Sounds beyond excruciating. I pray the Lord helps you find healing.
That’s so kind of you….thank you! I know people so much more than I and it’s that, that makes me feel badly for “complaining”. I think we’ve been somewhat conditioned by that word! My intention is never to complain, but in sharing my story, maybe helping someone else. It’s uplifting to hear of others healing or at least relief. I will most definitely be reading about this and the books mentioned! And yes! The Lord is my everything and all is temporary! I believe His return is in our lifetime! Soon! Thank you and bless you!🙏🏻
I received this comment from a physician who reads this newsletter:
Great article. Very useful. Actually reading this is making me interested in returning to doing more research and observation on a surgical topic- the first time since I retired from surgery a few years ago— but I am now interested to watch wound healing / skin graft taking/ ulcer healing with DMSO help. That being said, since you introduced your last article I have been using it with neurologically damaged patients , chronic pain, and patients with autoimmune diseases and at very first response the responses have been very positive- in line with the data you present. As I have explained the data you introduced me to patients and given them the option they are showing intense interest. I am excited to follow these outcomes.
Thank you once again AMD for a great article on the safety of DMSO. I ordered DMSO immediately after your first article appeared. I am now in the 4th week of testing DMSO for Parkinson's diseasr. I followed the recommended dosing schedule starting at 3.5g/day taken orally and scaling up to 14g. It soon became clear to me that this was too much as I had severe headache and brain fog, so I decided to take a break. On the second day of the break my Parkinson's symptoms almost disappeared and I felt better than I had felt for ages. The biggest improvement was in relief from bradykinesia. After being slow for the past years, I suddenly became Mr Speedy.
I was diagnosed with PD in 2018 and I'm not new to alternative therapies for PD that bring real benefit to patients so this came as no real surprise to me. I have been treating my PD with sulforaphane in a Broccoli Seed Tea (BST) that I created in 2020. Sulforaphane is a potent activator of the Nrf2 pathway that controls oxidative stress and improves mitochondrial function. BST is very effective in attenuating non-motor symptoms of PD, particularly constipation, brain fog, fatigue and urinary urgency, but it has little effect on motor symptoms. DMSO seems to be complementary to sulforaphane in that it attenuated motor symptoms. I suspect that sulforaphane does not easily cross the BBB whereas DMSO does. I am now dosing at 2g/day applied topically and doing well. At this dose I get minor brain fog for about one hour and the benefits of DMSO for the rest of the day. Once I am satisfied that I have a good idea of the dose range, benefits and any side effects, I will discuss how to go forward with the group of PD patients who currently use BST (about 50 worldwide). My intention is to try to define a protocol for a small number of n=1 tests by people in the BST group on the basis of self-experimentation in order to get a more representative idea of what DMSO can do for PD. I'll keep you posted of the progress.
Starting next week, at least 3 Parkinson's patients will be testing DMSO either topically or orally. The timescale of the response I observed for DMSO is identical to that I had for sulforaphane 4 years ago on non-motor symptoms. This may indicate that similar mechanisms are involved. In terms of symptom response to DMSO, in these first 4 weeks, pain, speed and the range of movement were most improved, followed by stiffness. Tremor seems to take more time to respond but there are already subtle signs of improvement. I and my family have also noted improvements in a whole range of other symptoms: brighter facial expression, eye comfort (more irrigation), stronger voice, more energy, better left/right hand coordination (fewer typing errors when using computer keyboard) and improved handwriting. Most importantly, I have periods of feeling really good which were previously absent. I have no doubt that DMSO is doing something good.
You might also consider doing research on Methylene Blue . Dr. Mercola recently posted an article about this amazing product and it’s been used to help people with cognitive impairment plus many other applications.. I personally started taking it two weeks ago but it’s kind of early to see any difference on my overall health, I’m 59 and consider myself relatively healthy but I can attest that it helped with an UTI infection along with DMSO and Chlorine Dioxide. All this amazing remedies do no have any bad side effects and are easy to get and very inexpensive. I’m trying to be my own doctor since I don’t trust pharma and their white robes sellers.
troscriptions methylene blue was a game changer for me. Ive tried everything for years with no effect. No tests showed any issues, so there was nothing to treat making it a guessing game trying things. Now pain free after 1 month on MB but noticed changes after a few days initially!
Very interesting Regina! How do you take Methylene Blue, DMSO and Chorine Dioxide? Topically, orally and what are your doses for each of the three? Daily, weekly?
Could you share where you apply the DMSO topically for Parkinsons, and which product you use? We are looking to implement for my 82 year old father and starting from scratch with knowledge of DMSO, trying to procure as much guidance as possible. Thank you!
You can get it on Amazon from 'The DMSO Store' (a US manufacturer that's recommended by MWD). 99.995% pure. It comes bottled in glass or non-reactive polymer (like the lid on the glass bottle). I prefer the plastic because it's less likely to break and about half the price of glass.
I bought directly from www.dsmostore.com. It was cheaper than through Amazon. I ordered the plastic bottles since it was cheaper, but they sent glass. Must have had a run on them from all the MWD articles. ;-)
OptiMSM is a superior MSM made in Oregon. Retail suppliers are Kala / Jarrow / Doctors Best/ and others as found on Amazon etc. For serious conditions don't bother with the common horse and animal MSM. Jarrow has the best price on OptiMSM. ___________
You know that MSM is the internal (oral) way of taking DMSO. Buy the one kilo size Jarow OptiMSM powder. Take three times per day, one teaspoon to one level tablespoon. Take with Vitamin C is a must, so buy NOW FOODS 8oz of sodium ascorbate. Take 1/3 teaspoon sodium ascorbate with your each of the three doses of your OptiMSM__________ At Amazon check out the 2000+ reviews for the kilo size Jarrow OptiMSM_______ For more info ______ _____7000jump /at/ gmail_____ Or reply here and hope I see it
I would love to test this with my husband. I am a nurse. We have been using thiamine, which has worked well, but interested in this as it seems if you extra[plate what it does to spinal injuries etc, there could be a more curative component than just symptom relief. Also looking for a good practice t in the Omaha are who could possibly offer IV.
Still doing well. I recently tried ajusting the dose of DMSO upwards to 3 g per day. This seems to make me more exciteable and after a few days, my tremor increased and became almost permanent. After a one-day break, tremor went back to very low levels again. My upper limit for DMSO seems to be about 2g.
Thank you so much for the update! Greatly appreciate the insights and your sharing - am starting my dad at 1/4 tsp tomorrow (I think that equates to 1.5 g). One question - are you taking your PD meds as well?
I can confirm a definite trend in improvements in motor symptoms of Parkinson's, including tremor, after only 6 weeks of using DMSO. At the same time I find it very hard to quantify that result since it is not at all constant. At the dose I am using, 1.5 ml per day, taken orally, my sleep quality has become much worse and that clearly has a negative effect on tremor. Even at this low dose, if I deliberately omit a dose, the next day I feel better. Does this mean that the dose is still too high, or is the frequency too high? When using sulforaphane in Broccoli seed tea, we came to the conclusion that, in the long term, a dosing frequncy of twice per week gave much better results than dosing daily.
MWD, is there any evidence from studies on other conditions or are there any mechanistic arguments in favor of such a dosing frequency?
just read some articles showing ivermectin and fenbendazole are improving parkinsons/alzheimers and other neurological conditions ... I really am starting to wonder if parasites are a main culprit to a lot of diseases, we deworm our pets monthly right? why not ourselves?
I thought these (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3762356/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4828997/) two studies might be interesting for you, in short, they say that intramuscular injections of thiamin along with small amounts of b vitamins led to a significant improvement of motor and non-motor symptoms of the patients with PD; this improvement was stable during time and without side effects. Quoting the study here: "The absence of blood thiamine deficiency and the efficacy of high-dose thiamine in our patients suggest that the symptoms of PD are the manifestation of a thiamine deficiency likely due to a dysfunction of the active transport of thiamine inside the cells or due to structural enzymatic abnormalities. In other words, we believe that the motor and non-motor symptoms of PD could derive from a chronic thiamine deficiency which is composed by:
Severe focal thiamine deficiency that could determine a progressive dysfunction and selective neuronal loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta and in other centres that are typically hit in this disease.
Mild thiamine deficiency in all other cells that could lead the cells to a suffering state and the presence of fatigue. Fatigue could be the true systemic symptom of the disease. In our opinion, the primary cause of PD is less expressed in all other cells where the disease determines a mild thiamine deficiency that causes fatigue and related disorders.
Another thing you might consider trying is the EE system. You can look at https://www.unifydhealing.com/testimonials and search the word "Parkinson." People claim that they have seen drastic improvements in their Parkinson's symptoms.
I will be helping a friend from church to begin using the sulforaphane and DMSO applied topically. She is very advanced, I hope she can experience some relief of symptoms. Would you recommend lowering of any of the regular Parkinson's meds for her prior to taking the supplements?
I asked my Father to try chewing nicotine gum to soothe his tremor based on research by Dr. Bryan Ardis. He started with 2 mg and his tremor stopped unless he was holding something. Then, he went to 4 mg, and he can now hold a spoon filled with cereal and milk without spilling it before it gets to his mouth. Has anyone else tried this?
I have now passed the two month mark for testing DMSO for Parkinson's and I am beginning to see things more clearly. However, before I report on DMSO, I would like to clarify my position as a research scientist and my history as a Person with Parkinson's.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2018 at the age of 76. I soon realised that the so-called Gold standard therapy for PD was purely symptomatic i.e. it helped considerably with some (motor) symptoms but did nothing to slow down the progression of the disease. My professional research career had been in structural chemistry, so I decided to look into the chemistry rather than the neurology of the disease. This turned out to be a good choice because the very early stages of PD (up to 20 years before people are diagnosed, but also continuing throughout the disease), are associated with a chemical disorder occurring inside peripheral cells and neurons. This chemical disorder, called oxidative stress, damages cell membranes and mitochondria. It leads to the progressive destruction of a class of neurons that make dopamine and creates a shortage of this neurotransmitter in parts of the brain that control movement. The neurological symptoms which define PD (slowness, rigidity, postural stoop and tremor), only appear after the network of dopamine neurons has been so severely disrupted that some parts of the brain cannot function properly.
It turns out that it is much easier and quicker to fix the faulty chemistry than it is to repair the damaged neuron network. To cut a long story short, I set out to fix the faulty chemistry of my own disease by making a product that I hoped would stimulate the body's own internal mechanism (called the Nrf2 pathway) that normally controls excessive oxidative stress, but which appears to underperform for People with Parkinson's. That product was a beverage (Broccoli Seed Tea) containing a bioactive substance called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane has certain chemical similarities to DMSO in that they both have the same S=O group, but I suspected that DMSO might be able to get into the brain and stimulate the Nrf2 mechanism there, more easily than sulforaphane.
It turns out that sulforaphane is extremely good at controlling non-motor symptoms of PD, including constipation, fatigue, urinary urgency, balance issues, poor sleep and apathy. These can be very strongly attenuated, even totally suppressed in about 6 weeks by Broccoli Seed Tea, whereas motor symptoms (slowness, rigidity, tremor and postural stoop) are unaffected over the same timescale. There are even signs that, at high doses, or at the beginning of treatment, sulforaphane can cause an over-excited state (people say they feel "wired"), accompanied by an increase in tremor in the short term. I have been using various home-made sulforaphane products to control my own PD since 2020. In 2022, I introduced a very much improved version of Broccoli Seed Tea containing fully bioavailable sulforaphane that has been in use ever since.
Consequently, I am not the typical Parkinson's patient for testing DMSO, since I no longer have any non-motor symptoms, but I still have the full range of motor symptoms. This would seem to indicate that, in my case, the faulty chemistry has been largely brought under control by sulforaphane, especially in peripheral organs, but the damaged neuron network has not been repaired.
I began testing DMSO two weeks after stopping treatment with Sulforaphane. As indicated in previous documents, I began with an oral dose of 3.5 g and progressively increased the dose up to 20 g. At this dose I suffered severe pain, brain fog and headache which caused me to stop DMSO altogether. Two days after stopping, all my Parkinson's symptoms and pain disappeared entirely. Slowness became speed, rigidity became flexibility, postural stoop straightened out, tremor disappeared and my face was transformed. People around me said that I had never looked so good in a long time. Clearly, something good was happening. It only lasted a few days, but it was quite unforgettable.
Since then I have been trying to find the best dose of DMSO to treat my particular brand of Parkinson's (after 4 years of sulforaphane treatment). It is quite clear that DMSO does something in the brain that sulforaphane does not. DMSO affects motor symptoms of PD whereas sulforaphane attenuates non-motor symptoms. I cannot comment on whether DMSO might affect non-motor symptoms, because, apart from pain, I no longer have any.
Some interesting details have come to my attention, but remember, these might only apply to my case which is untypical.
- The best daily oral dose (for me) seems to be in the range 0.75 to 1.0 g, but I still need to explore lower doses over a longer period.
- There may be a case to explore dosing DMSO once or twice per week instead of once per day. I always feel my best the day after I stop DMSO.
- The order of improvement of non-motor symptoms (most improved first) is: slowness, stiffness, postural stoop, tremor.
- Nearly all pain and dystonia disappeared.
- Cramps were very much reduced.
- Eye irrigation improved. No more dry eyes in the morning.
- Urinary comfort and flow was much improved. Nocturia frequency was reduced.
At a daily dose above 1.5 g (tested several times), DMSO generated the following adverse effects:
- Slowness remained stable, but stiffness and postural stoop were much aggravated.
- I felt over-excited (wired).
- Tremors became constant and uncontrollable.
- Sleep became very erratic.
- Violent cramps came back in both legs, simultaneously.
- I suffered considerable pain in my knee, ankle and wrist joints. My knees were swollen and I could barely walk.
- Muscle strength, especially in the legs, declined considerably. Moving from a sitting to a standing position became very difficult.
All of these adverse effects disappeared within 2 days of stopping DMSO.
I do not have an explanation for the adverse effects. I hope "The Midwestern Doctor" will be able to enlighten me.
The most simple answer I can give is that the body often responds much better to pulsed dosing (e.g., every other day) than daily, and that more of something isn't always better.
I agree, less is better and pulsed dosing, once or twice per week, works best for sulforaphane. This fits in with the observation that the antioxidant enzymes expressed by Nrf2 have a half-life of a few days. I am not yet convinced that DMSO is activating Nrf2, rather that migjt be having a different effect on the brain network, such as exciting certain neuron pathways or overriding their inormal inhibition.
Do you have an idea what might be the cause of weak and swollen knees, weak ankles and muscle weakness at daily doses of DMSO above 1.5g. This reaction was perfectly reproducible and reversible. It felt more like a nerve signaling problem, a fault or weakness in the signals sent to the muscles and joints rather than an actual physical problem of the joints and muscles. At one point it felt like sciatica, the pain was similar, but it went away completely the day after I stopped DMSO. Could too much DMSO be affecting the myelin protection of the main Axon of DA neurons ? Just thinking out loud, not a hypothesis.
This is a helpful post, Patient Researcher. I have a friend who’s using DMSO topically, but is considering oral dosing since getting no relief. We will discuss a reduced, pulsed dose.
Going to start my PD dad on DMSO. Any things to consider if on PD meds carbidopa-levodopa and trihexyphenidyl? Have been doing methylene blue and other supplements as well.
So you have found it better to apply DMSO topically rather than orally? I have PD, but am very sensitive to things in general - I tried LDN and couldn't at all tolerate it.
Do you think mixing Sulforaphane with DMSO would allow it greater power? I read once that a lot of L-dopa medications that didn't seem to work started working once they were combined with DMSO.
In order not to compromise the validity of the current experiment with DMSO I have specifically chosen not to mix DMSO with sulforaphane. That said, it is not impossible that DMSO could help transport sulforaphane across the BBB more easily. Proving that would be another question altogether.
Thank you for continuing to update your experience, Patient Researcher. It's very helpful to many of us. I especially appreciate your commitment to your current experiment before beginning another. Ultimately, I hope you find the magic bullet.
Have any of you reading this considered the possibility that Lyme Disease could be the origin of your Parkinson's? I have read and researched Lyme so much that I seem to find it under every rock and every autoimmune / neuro problem. Treatment with a 21-day course of ivermectin (12mg) has benefitted many. Your thoughts?
I have tried various oral dose regimens of DMSO for Parkinson's and each time I come back to the same dose range: 1.2 - 1.5 g per day. I had some bad sleep issues for a while, but I now realise that DMSO was not the cause.
Once the sleep issues were resolved, I find the same improvements as reported earlier.
After 7 weeks experimentation:
Pain of all kinds reduced by 80%,
Distonia and cramps reduced by 80%
Bradykinesia nonexistent
Stiffness down by 50%
Tremor comes and goes, but doesn't bother me as much as before because it is now painless, whereas before DMSO it was painful.
Fatigue mostly absent and there's usually a good reason for the occasional spells of fatigue.
Energy levels very high.
For those interested in other aspects of Parkinson's, my first Substack posts are now up and running. An Insider's Guide to Parkinson's
Patient Researcher - I subscribed to your Substack as well. Am looking forward to everything you are working on. Thank you for providing this information and updating us on your journey, it is incredibly helpful and appreciated.
An observation: On Oct 30, you stated dosing 1.5 ml per day. Here you state 1.2-1.5g per day. I'm familiar with the metric system and understand that the two units are generally interchangeable when working with water-based liquids.
Suggestion: For those who are not, consider using the same units in your trials. Weight is far more accurate than volume measure. 1g DMSO=1.1g water so it's close enough. Personally, unless you have a small, fractional gram scale, I'd consider using drops for something this small.
Googling: 20 drops~1ml.
Good info. Please continue posting your trial observations and results. It means a lot to many.
Drops per ml is a variable based upon the dropper in use. I have glass droppers. 1 gives 20 drops per ml. The other gives 40 drops per ml. I believe this is due to the exit diameter of the dropper.
Thank you MWD for all of this useful information. I’m not too familiar with the Substack format so thought I’d ask for your input using dmso on varicose veins. I apologize if this has already been asked, I can’t find it if so. I have very thick, bulbous Varicose veins on my left upper calf and been using the dmso topically on them for around 2 weeks now. I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but they are definitely decreasing in size each day, and they’re no longer painful. I can stand on my legs for long periods without the heaviness and pain I had before. Also, there’s some bruising around my ankle due to the veins and pressure, and those are also fading. I am so happy with these little results that I’m noticing and excited to keep up the dmso treatment. I’d love your thoughts on whether topical is the correct way to continue or should I start taking internal as well? These things have been an issue since my 20’s I’m now in my 50’s, but have heard a few horror stories about surgery and so I never had them removed. Thank you again for this treasure trove of information you’ve provided us thus far, I’m excited to keep reading!
I had a stab phlebotomy done several years ago, which went well and was successful…..until it wasn’t. I now have new varicose veins😒 I’m excited to give the DMSO a try.
Thanks for the DMSO series..I am amazed by your tenacity. I am sure you were sitting long hours on your research.. do take care health wise!! Nothing is worth that..
The Sanskrit word for Tree is Vriksha.. or Vriksham.
Tree stands tall moving straight up towards light a sign of positivity & with its feet inside earth and rest exposed to sun, a perfect example of good health…
We were taught to assimilate certain qualities from them.. like they can’t run away from danger..but face and adapt. I am sure the Tree uses DMSO to repair themselves ..so how can it be dangerous.
My grandmother lived with me till 101. When she stopped moving and was on her death bed she started developing bedsores. We cleaned her back and applied 80% DMSO and her skin became normal in just a matter of days… at 101. Talk about miracles & with five doctors in the family not being able to comprehend!!
Your Substacks are not just about health its much more…. Its about life and meaningful living!!
Saddest part is you have to do this incognito.. & we claim we are liberated, free, progressed and evolved… funny!!
Wish I could meet you sometime in my life.. maybe whenever you are in India..
I had nurses RN was a CNA back then tell me use the DSMO or colital silver on the bed sores down to the bone. The administrator asked who did this we are loosing medicare funding by not having the bed sores and a clinitron bed. We said we didn't know the patient and family were very happy no more bed scores after trip to the hospital. We cared about the patient well being not the money.
It's odor from skin and clothes, not breath. I don't know about the "reductive stress" thing, I just know that after 3.5 years of 'long COVID" involving Hashimoto's and EBV, I have finally beaten both the fatigue and the auto-immune disease and I have regained my strength (used to be a competitive double century cyclist so that is no small claim).
I'm sorry I wasn't clear, there is a followup comment I made that clarified.
In brief, I do not credit DMSO for curing Hashimoto's. That happened a year prior when everything started feeling right again and the TPO antibody levels got cut in half. While a major improvement, I did not regain my former strength, not even close.
HOWEVER, since I have started using DMSO, I have regained all my former strength back and I can do my 1000 kCal ride now and feel fine. Perhaps it is a coincidence and perhaps not. But it wasn't until after I started the DMSO that I felt the energy surge. Examples of what I expect to be able to do for excercise:
To put it into numbers, I have a lab grade power meter on my bike. I was languishing at 140-160 watts most of this year and with no vigor. After DMSO, power has surged to the 180-200W range, which is where my out of shape body should be at nearly 60 years old.
I have been applying mainly to feet and upper legs and lower legs as these areas seem to react the least to its irritating effects (I use the 99.995% stuff). It allows me to get more into my system by using those areas.
Runner and walker here 4mi every day rain, snow etc. I don't miss a day ever, 68 years old. I have arthritis everywhere and FM too. I have been reading all on Substack, thank you for sharing all that you do. I put DMSO 99% on feet and especially toes as they are numb at 2mi mark. Today I am praying that I don't feel that at all after a week of the miracle medicine. God bless you A Midwestern Dr.
I really admire your work AMD! I hope that one day we live in a culture where heroes like yourself can share information with out masks or fear of being criminalized, de-platformed or de-licensed. Since your first post on DMSO, I have spent a great deal of time researching the subject and have a few anecdotes to report.
I have had a large lipoma (fatty tumor) on my arm for many years. It was about 50mm in size (or about the diameter of an egg for your American audience). I used a topical application of 50% DMSO plus curcumin & ginger. I have been applying the DMSO to the lipoma 2-3x a day for less than a week and the tumor has already shrunk to 12mm (the size of a blueberry).
My wife has had pretty severe knee pain since injuring it 15 months ago. After explaining to her what DMSO was, I applied the same DMSO+curcumin mixture to both sides of her knee. She reported that it relieved her pain even before I finished massaging it in. The following day I asked if gave her a few hours of relief. To which she said, "no". I was a little disappointed, until she smirked back "it wasn't a couple of hours, it hasn't hurt since".
I make 40ml at a time for a dropper bottle. I like to make a light gel, just enough xanthum gum that it doesn’t run. I mix larger batches of xanthum gum and distilled water separately. (To gel properly it needs to be boiled and you don’t want the heat breaking down the DMSO or curcumin.) I create a 50:50 mixture of gel (or distilled water) and DMSO. The DMSO will thin the gel. Then I add 2000-3000mg of curcumin. If you are fair skinned and you plan on using it anywhere it will be visible, I’d use less, like 500mg. I like to use pure curcumin powder because the capsules have fillers. But if you already have curcumin capsules and it doesn’t have too much other junk, you can use that. It really does stain, so start out light with the curcumin. You can always add more.
If you (or the reader you quoted, if he have a Substack) care to address philosophy and ethics in a Substack, perhaps you could mention Exodus 23:2 "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil". IMO it should be the eleventh commandment. (Eleven is a sacred number in Hinduism. That became ten in Mosaism because the Hebrews were less astrologically sophisticated.) Paul Craig Roberts calls the complicity, neglect of this commandment caused, "insouciance". But the SCOTUS banned schools displaying even the standard Ten Commandments! https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/449/39/
"You go out of your way to avoid bias and don't promote specific products. I have been dealing with chronic neck and lower back pain for over 10 years and tried so many treatments with little success. I tried DMSO and it stopped about 90% of the pain in less than a half hour...I literally started laughing because I couldn't believe it!"
That is one beautiful, comprehensive compilation of facts MWD. One of the points you made has triggered an original thought about DMSO being used to POTENTIALLY defuse the spike protein...I mention this because a long while ago, I read that DMSO acts as "a protein folding chaperone". The foreign protein injection (Covid vaxx) will (I believe) cause protein misfolding, then aggregating as amyloid plaque...which is one thing that DMSO seems likely to prevent...I have no proof, only a God-given brain to perceive the possibility. Perhaps you may have considered this possibility and have a way to prove it...imagine the uproar...disabling the murderous cartel's spike self-replicating death jab using DMSO...We just love you, Midwestern Doctor...phenomenal work you have done. P.s. I have another (historic) DMSO miracle to share...I am a retired Professional Fire Fighter, a tradesman, with skills across a very wide cross-section, many of which involve the use of extreme heat application, and as you may expect, have experienced severe burns on occasion. I mention here only one instance...about 10 years ago, a third degree burn to the pad of the index finger on the left hand...it was a dreadful burn...the skin was destroyed well into the flesh...I dipped the finger multiple times for several days in 99.999% DMSO, and gradually, from perimeter toward center, over two weeks, the pad of the finger was totally healed, pink, normal capillary refill, no pain, and perfect fingerprint still there. I am still in awe, that DMSO works so well with the human body to enable healing on such a dramatic scale. Praise God. (Also, I can now report that My wife is now back on her feet, after 10 days post injury...DMSO at 75% (25% distilled water) applied topically to the lower back 3-4 times per day...after about 6-7 days, she noticed a little tingling in the skin...I believe the tingling to be an indication that the treatment is working, as it should, healing damaged tissue and removing inflamation...allowing subtle chiropractic adjustments to be made, and achieving success... Thanks to all those who prayed for her, and offered help...she and I are both grateful.
Hi David, according to Dr. Bryan Ardis [www.thedrardisshow.com], nicotine is a nutrient and will rid your body of the spike proteins. Consider a patch-- he discusses dosages being a 2 mg of 3 mg patch. He favors the Rugby brand.
He quotes a study showing that the spike proteins of COVID-19 are nearly identical to those of two snake venoms which bind to the body's nicotine receptors. Using nicotine patches will unbind the venom which results in health!
In one study he discusses that 7 mg nicotine patches were given to multiple Long-Haul COVID-19 sufferers who were asked to wear it for six days straight.
The result?
100% of their symptom disappeared.
I'd first recomend his video, "The Explosive Truth, Origin, and Antidote for C19" at his site which will blow you away. His new book came out the last week of September and is sold out on Amazon! But you can order it from his site.
Also consider his PDF on nicotine (in the Resources section) and watch his 3-hour expose on nicotine.
Nicotine is the key! Most of us eat it anyways in tomatoes, eggplant.... Dr Ardis and Healing for the Ages group are the best of the best!! Im new to MWD, but becoming very interested. So thankful for all of the information.
I'm very curious about nicotine -- the Native Americans used tobacco (and taught the cowboys to use it, too) for snakebites, because apparently it is far more attracted to the Ae2 (?) receptor site than snake venom (and thus the spike protein) and nicotine supposedly kicks the spike protein out of the receptor site, according to Ardis. I also watched another researcher's video of the spike protein in a Petri dish under a microscope when nicotine was introduced and it absolutely destroyed the spike protein -- very convincing (in a dish)! Native Americans also used tobacco in other healing efforts -- and of course, in their peace pipes; they considered it a sacred herb.
However, I think the Harvard meta-analysis is hooey and probably purposely so (who trusts anything out of Harvard these days?). As a former smoker (20 years clean), I quickly went from 2 mgs/day to 20 mags/day! Not because I was afraid of the spike protein at that dose, but because it seems to work wonders for my brain fog and fatigue due to "long-Covid" (never vaxxed, but shed upon). I did quit chewing the gum for 2 weeks, but my brain fog returned full force. I'm now down to 14 mgs/day and doing a natural, comprehensive, 5 month brain detox program. I'm only a week into it , so I'm going on hope alone at this point.
Thank you so much Greg, I will check this out. I have heard some tidbits about nicotine patches, all good, but this is the first detailed information I've received. Thank you.
Dr. Ardis cites a 2015 Harvard study showing that the addictive ingredient in tobacco are the pyrazines the companies add, not nicotine. We've been lied to about nicotine, as it is found in the nightshade vegetables, etc. Very few smokers got sick with COVID-19! Now we know why.
My story is too long to type here. It would likely help to speak with someone to decipher what helped what, but I will attempt to summarize. I will tell my story if it will give hope to someone else that recovery is possible!
I am 48yrs old.
I was introduced to topical DMSO once in 1997 by a holistic doctor and remembered it working very well after a car accident.
I did not revisit it until 2022. I take it orally and use it topically now.
I have had health issues my whole life and was diagnosed with several debilitating autoimmune diseases. I allowed the allopathic industry to scare me into doing what they said, in an attempt to not become disabled, which eventually happened due to over prescribed prescription drugs and what I believed was irreversible disease processes.
The list of problems and diagnosis grew over 25 yrs. The ones that primarily altered my ability to function:
-Multiple TIA’s due to a factor 5 mutation
-Ankylosing Spondylosis
-Myasthenia Gravis (ocular & generalized)
-RSD which is now called CRPS
-29 fractures over 9 yr period resulted from polypharma, as there was not a disease process found to be the cause.
I was on 30 allopathic drugs when I started weaning myself off 4 yrs ago. I am very close to being off the last two prescriptions.
The drs would not/could not help me do this. They told me I would die and it was not possible. I was doomed to only get worse.
Diet and vitamin supplementation has played a vital role in my recovery. I would be remiss to leave out healing emotionally and spiritually as well.
This and then adding DMSO in 2022 changed everything and I pray this is only the beginning.
I am healthier now than I have been since 2006.
Until the last 10 months, I was hesitant to believe this was really working to reverse all the damage, but I can confidently say it is.
Since starting DMSO:
My brain is healing.
The brain fog is much less of an issue. Cognitive function is astronomically improved.
My muscles don’t fatigue like they use to.
My vision is almost back to normal.
Balance almost back to normal.
No threats of a Myasthenia crisis since starting DMSO.
I have not had another TIA even off of the Coumadin!
My joints are healing. I have not had a major fracture since 2019. I have not sprained anything since 2023.
Major joint inflammation is isolated to specific joints rather than everywhere and is intermittent not constant.
The pain is under control without the aid of medicine.
Neuropathy is much improved. I haven’t had a major episode from the CRPS since starting DMSO. When I can sense it returning I know what stops it. (To be honest, I still fear it’s return)
I can exercise again. I live alone again. I am becoming less reliant on assistance for balance and don’t fall any more. I could go on & on.
It is hard to believe this is real. It is hard to not worry this will be forever. But I am beyond hopeful for the future.
Hi James. I'm so happy and hopeful by reading your story. I would like to know the dose of DMSO you're taking and how you take it, since the taste is terrible. Thank you.
As you are reading in the posts by AMD & all the comments, DMSO is used for different medical conditions. Nearly all stemming from uncontrolled inflammation, including cancer.
As I said in the comment immediately preceding this, I take it orally and use it topically for a few different medical issues that are due to both several autoimmune diseases and the consequences of the prescription drugs. I use less than most people here.
To find the route of administration & amount you need for a specific ailment I have used both the studies provided and many other resources as a guide. If science is to you what law is to me, get someone to help you decipher it all. You can start, as suggested in these posts, by trying a spot on your skin to see how you tolerate it.
Darn… If you search for the title, you will probably find one that has all the pages. I no longer have the link I used for the one I have, but I have all 258 pgs and I didn’t buy it.
Jamie: thank you for this info .. I've downloaded the books & learned that a 40% DMSO eye drop holds promise for macular degeneration, which I have .. I found these drops @ https://dmso.store/product/40-dmso-eye-drops-in-saline-with-vitamin-c/ & intend to start using these drops + one teaspoon of 99.9% DMSO (which is widely available) to see if I can arrest my problem
Hi Steven, I just wanted to ask you if you have wet or dry macular degeneration? I have dry and have been using Wise Choice Medicine's drops and pills which have kept me from getting worse. However, I have an older friend who has the "wet" macular degeneration and has lost her central vision and cannot do the things she used to and has to have a care giver live with her. I'm just wondering if it is at all possible to reverse this kind? Have you heard any other testimonials that have tried DMSO and have improved. She can't read anymore so I'm doing the research for her. Actually I just received a bottle of DMSO but I don't know how to use it. I have many autoimmune conditions which are very challenging and now have been diagnosed with SIBO which is sooo hard to get rid of. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. Sherry
Sherry, just my opinion, but from all I've read, DMSO is not harmful even if you don't dilute it properly. I have glaucoma, my brother is 10 years older than me and is legally blind because of it. Even though I am maintaining eye pressure with drops, traditional medicine has no cure. So I have to force myself to try different things. Just today, I mixed saline (3ml) and dmso (2ml) in an empty 5 ml dropper bottle and tried it in both eyes. It stung a little for about 5 min, and then back to normal vision. My point is we have to take care of ourselves. Relying on doctors is ok, but they are not miracle workers. God is, so trust God and try things.
Just a thought: Saline is a mixture of sodium chloride and water. Sodium chloride is salt. Maybe distilled water would be less painful. Perhaps adding 1 drop of iodine, or 1 drop of Borax water could improve results... slowly increase strength.
How to make Borax water: 8oz/1 cup distilled water in a glass container, heat to 60 degrees C. Add 1/4 tsp Borax. Stir with stainless steel spoon till dissolved. Store in glass jar, or make fresh as needed.
Sherry, Dr. Wm. Davis has a book named 'Super Gut' that is highly informative and useful. You may find helpful results from the Lactobacillus reuteri recipe. The book has several recipes and many menu ideas. He specifically addresses SIBO. It has made a positive difference for me as I've been making and consuming daily the L. reuteri yogurt for well over a year now using his directions. I wouldn't want to be without it. Hope this helps.
Cheryl: I've been reluctant to use them as I have artificial lenses (cataract surgery) & the DMSO may impact those lenses .. although I've seen several comments that they won't be affected .. in the meantime, I'm doing HBOT for this purpose .. there is ALOT of literature that supports HBOT for AMD & I've completed 10 "dives" and expect to do 20 or so & then assess the benefit
I am a little late to this "party". I did a flyby read when this email came, and saved it, as I was busy finishing 6 lectures for the AHVMA meeting.
We studied DMSO for multiple things when I was in veterinary school, but the most compelling use was for brain trauma, as it was said to be much more effective than mannitol in reducing intracranial swelling. We used it on a "hit by car", resulting in head trauma, and other than stinking up the clinic, it was very effective. The down side, was that when she woke up, she was convinced that we were the villains, and always hated me. LOL
One of the veterinary professors, was looking at it for viruses in cats, and I have used it for decades as a topical anti-inflammatory. Some vets were using it for West Nile in horses, but I had developed a protocol with HEEL remedies, that worked well, so I never used it for that.
It has some interesting anticancer activity, and we have combined it with some complex homeopathics and thymus extract and seen some regression of topical tumors.
LOVE DMSO! Glad that you are reigniting some interest in it.
One caveat. DMSO is a byproduct of the wood pulp industry. Make sure you are using a medical grade, if at all possible. It will drive anything that's on your skin, into the matrix. That's a good thing, if it's Traumeel/ Zeel/ etc, but not so good if it's a toxin.
PJ Broadfoot DVM
PS My stepdad and Grandfather were MDs, back when doctors were thinkers and healers. They would have been appalled at the state of medicine now.
"All we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us"
The HBC (hit by car) was a pocket dog, a Pomeranian, if I recall. But, we have used the DMSO combinations on a host of creatures, including bipeds. It regressed a few suspicious looking lesions (one was likely to be a squamous cell carcinoma) on myself.
BTW, I have been mulling over the thought of using DMSO IV, for whatever they are calling "blood clots", post-jab. It is a remarkably good solvent. I haven't heard anyone else propose that, but as long as the concentration remains below 30%, or so, it is relatively safe. At higher doses, it will lyse blood cells.
Me thinks that your idea to dissolve the rubbery clots is an excellent one. If it works, it would traumatize the industry that developed the culprit jabs. Great thinking, even if it is non-effective, we need to be able to try different things. There are plenty of saved specimens in display bottles in labs and mortuaries with which to use as test samples.
I once had the wild idea that "conditioned" water might perform in a similar manner to dissolve kidney, bladder and gall stones over time. The thought was that the process which formed them (as evident in supply pipes and wherever water is allowed to evaporate and leave the inherent carbonates behind) might also be positively effected in a reverse manner, using "hungry" water such as conditioned or distilled. The plan was to see if I could get some "stones" from labs or hospitals, or vet clinics, and run the mentioned water past them for a long time, and then re-weigh a group to see if they were shrinking. Unfortunately, that was never pursued, but here is what WAS pursued: During that time, I was still plagued by a compressed disc low down, and upon having an x-ray, was shown in addition to the disc, that a bone spur was forming, giving the nagging, but not the disabling condition of the disc.
Then the thought was revisited about the distilled water and its potential to dissolve the calcium carbonate built spur. Ever since then, I have been drinking distilled with a 10 or less percent mix of purified well-water just for minerals. I also began to take Moringa powder caps to ensure of the minerals. And VIOLA! Within only a few weeks, I noticed a change. Within months, the nagging spur pain (which was not constant but sporadic) was non-existent! Even to this day, there is little thought about my back anymore. The disc issue also cleared up. That's quite novel, in my book. I thought I was slated to live with it until planted.
So your "clot thoughts" are wholly possible. Please attend to it, and find out by testing the test tube clots with your solvent. What a marvelous idea that is! I will add that to the prayer list.
I wish I had access to some of those space occupying rubbery masses. I don't have any friends in the mortuary business. But, you are probably spot-on, as there are more than likely many of those specimens available.
Nice for you to share your story about dissolving the calc carb spur. There are probably many who would benefit from trying such a "no harm" strategy.
hubby has a blood clot where a pic line was removed. He just got home for another hospital stay and I am considering putting DMSO on the skin near the clot. hope it works.
Hello, I work in the vet industry and after reading the first AMD article on DMSO, asked my vets what they knew about DMSO as I wanted to try it on my 18-20year old diabetic kitty for her spondylosis and arthritis hips/neuropathy pain. They unfortunately did not know much about it, despite one of them growing up on a farm and having applied it on inflamed cow udders. Do you have any vet articles you can post here that I may be able to share with them? I feel we would be able to help so many kitties at my clinic with this substance.
I have done it on my own cats. It's completely slapdash but I applied 1ml/10lbs of bodyweight liquid DMSO 70/30 concentration directly onto the skin/over their fur to soak in on their back where they're less likely to get it off before it sets. They started meowing and running around like they were kittens again whereas before they were suffering from onset arthritis.
I'm told that dogs, who will sit still for such things, can have dmso just put on their paw while you hold it.
I would guess that there were some, back in the late 70's and early 80's, since we learned about it in vet school. I have not been down that rabbit hole recently, though I have some fairly well referenced data that is human centered. There are some research papers in those that were rat studies, but not much in pet animals.
Interestingly, I remember some Sixty Minutes or 20/20 "expose's" on DMSO around 1981, then it kind of fell off the radar.
Dr Broadfoot, Could you elaborate on your treatment of west Nile or encephalitis in horses? My vets know nothing but big pharma protocols or euthanasia. My horse has had bad colic reactions to vaccines, so I won’t vaccinate again. He’s 17 and a Lippit Morgan. I did watch a warm blood with Eastern Equine encephalitis be put down, and it is the ONE fear I have of not vaccinating my horse…
I also wrote one for another journal, but it is written in German.
The treatment is an autologous blood therapy, using complex homeopathics which have to be sourced outside of the USA. Aggravating, since we actually had very good results.
If you could find an integrative vet in your area, I could certainly share my articles and findings.
I have been reading your substack for about 18 months. Thank you for being courageous and speaking the truth about what's going on in the medical world. After reading your 3 posts about DMSO I ordered some (70% gel and liquid) and also got a book about DMSO and MSM and am now taking 3 grams of MSM daily (capsule) and just using the DMSO gel on my joints. I have a mild case of RA and I am hoping this will help. It's only been 2 weeks, so will know a lot more in a month or so. But early indicators are that both the DMSO and the MSM are helping with pain and swelling.
Thanks again for your time and energy to write this substack!
Got the MSM from my local natural food store (I'm in Atlanta and it's called Nature's Pick). I also ordered some from Professional supplement center which was recommended by the book I read on MSM. Professionalsupplementcenter.con
Life Extension does not require a practitioner referral. I buy their supplements all the time. They also offer lab tests. They have a practitioner who will sign off on the lab tests, you just order it online.
I found a plastic jar of Opti MSM on Amazon and it’s much cheaper to buy bulk powder than capsules. I think mine was from Jarrow - they are reputable company. Check the *seller* of the product too, not just the brand name of the product, to ensure you’re getting a genuine product. The sellers themselves get rated and you can find great “stores” in the Amazon system that way. The manufacturing process for MSM can lead to contaminants in some MSM but the patented (or trademarked?) “Opti MSM” is the cleanest and safest I’ve found in my research. I just put the powder directly into water and it tastes terrible, but I simply don’t care that it tastes bad bec I care more about effective health outcomes and price than I do uncomfortable tastes.
I got some from Amazon, Gold Standard Organic Sulfur, which I started taking a few days ago. It's coarse, dissolves easily in hot water. A little bit spilled on my black counter and when it dried I saw very fine crystals left, which I believe means it is a good product.
Instead of capsules buy Jarrow MSM powder which is a superior form, and called OptiMSM. Three teaspoons daily if you want to move the needle. Take each dose with 1/3 teaspoon sodium ascorbate powder (form of vitamin C )............... More details in my previous post here.
Thank you for sharing. I have some mild arthritis too. I have been taking MSM for a short while and I think it has improved occasional discomfort in a few of my fingers. After reading your comment(and double checking the dosage) I realize I am not taking nearly enough. I am going to take more MSM for a while. Then I may add the DMSO if needed. Keep me posted on your progress. Your info has helped me. I appreciate it. 🤗
Sharing some recent findings. I’ve had eye issues for about one year. Tried MMS and DMSO 20% and 40% strengths eye drop protocols but each time the issue would come back. I was told blufferitis was the issue or dry eye. My eyes had constant drainage that impacted my vision. Not until I took Dr. Mercola double strength Krill oil (omega 3) did I notice it finally clearing up. However, interestingly, I’ve taken omega 3 before and it did not do anything.
So whats interesting is along the same time I started the omega 3, I’ve been using the roller DMSO 99% grade described in an earlier post for a varicose vein on my leg. Getting great results. Not totally gone but no longer protracting and the color is fading. Well, the other night I had an onset of frozen shoulder. I know as I’ve had it 2x before. I took a heating pad to it, massaged it, added magnesium oil and DMSO. Shoulder turned red and blotchy which was a new side effect for me but heard the magnesium oil could help break down the calcification. Either way, the deep dull aching pain went away with in the next hour. 2 days later still no pain. By the way, my eyes are feeling fantastic. Wondering about the combo of omega 3 and DMSO.
1st day and I’m sold! I applied castor oil then rolled DMSO on my knee this morning. The pain calmed down in about 45 minutes. It reignited about 4.5 hours later so I reapplied and the relief was immediate. I haven’t been this excited by any product with the exception of a fabulous leather balm I bought recently and I jokingly told my friends I was going to put it in my coffee (after having put it on the backs of my hands). The beauty of DMSO is that it can be ingested! Thanks AMD!!!
My husband has damaged nerves in his leg and foot from a surgery 2 months ago. He has been in excruciating pain every day since and has tried different pain relief approaches to help relieve the pain and burning (those mostly didn't work). He has been using the DMSO 70/30 with aloe (little odour) for the last 3 days and has finally found some relief..it's like a miracle actually. Thank you so much MWD!! You mentioned in a previous comment that you are working on DMSO eye applications which is interesting b/c my vision is getting worse lately. I am looking forward to learning more as I have heard that castor oil can be helpful, but am skeptical. Thanks again and all the best!!
Several months ago, I listened to the Robert Yoho interview (on substack) with an 80 year old doing CD and DMSO. I realized why I dismissed it years ago and decided to try again. The secret is to add water. DMSO seeks H2O.
I bought a spendy 3 oz bottle from the health food store. Product is from www.dmsostore.com. Then I went to the farm supply and bought a more economical dmso gel formula for horses. This product is from Valhoma Corporation, Tulsa, OK www.dmso.com
I use the horse dmso gell on my face after washing. Within days I noticed how smooth my skin was. Then I started applying it all over my body after my shower. All little lumps bumps skintags disappeared after a month or so.
Now I’m trying the non gel, spendy health food store dmso mixed with filtered water in an eye wash. My eye exam a year ago indicated the beginning of a cataract in one eye. Well I’m not thrilled about eye surgery. Anyway….
No problems so far, and eyes feel good.
Having read Midwestern doctor, I’ll probably be experimenting more as soon I finish winterizing the homestead.
Can it help acne? I have tried everything for my two late teen children from antifungal cream, ivermectin cream, parasite cleanses, vitamins, diatomaceous earth, iodine- they eat extremely healthy-you name it I’ve done it. It’s torture not finding the answer for them! Anything you can offer would be golden to me!
I’m not a doctor I just think about it and experiment. Personally I’d apply Chlorine Dioxide to the skin first, then apply DMSO. Chlorine dioxide is am amazing disinfectant! Ive used it on burns and cuts. I Order from Safrax.
Hi there wanted to let you know that my daughter's severe acne was cleared by using a natural supplement called DIM...it is the natural compound found in cruciferous vegies. it was amazing. We had tried many things as well.
Thank you for this! I have heard on DIM. I wonder if males can take it as well? I will look into it. I have yet to try it. I thought I was onto something with the fungal cream for a bit with my daughter, but it just morphed to a different type and location of acne.
Acne, if I am right, is exacerbated by a hormonal imbalance. If there is a way to better regulate that imbalance naturally, then it might be that help would be soon coming.
Teens will almost assuredly have to go through it.
Work on improving their liver function. Personally, I’d use magnesium, milk thistle and ensure they have enough fat in their diets to trigger the gall bladder to dump at each meal.
What completely cured my acne as a child was a diet. When I recommended it to a friend he went from severe acne to clean face in two weeks. Diet involved avoiding all animal fat and fried food in general. Only lean meat, no pork. No cheese.
In retrospect, I speculate this might be certain AGEs, Advanced Glycation End-products that accumulate in the skin glands, triggering immune reactions. If so then butter and other animal fat may be ok when not heated to high temperature, but not cheese as it contains a lot of AGEs from the maturation process.
Thank you for this! Wonderful news for your friend! Both my children eat extremely healthy-never processed or fried, no seed oils, green smoothies with some fruit, no milk, never pork and all organic -we tried gluten free and didn’t make a difference. Thanks for your thoughts! I welcome anything!
Hi, this is a strange one but it worked for me with adult acne years ago and now works for my teen despite her initial reaction. We've also helped a few church friends with the suggestion to try it with astounding results. Egg yolk mask. Really. Daily for one week. The difference is stark. My daughter recently started adding a tiny bit of manuka honey to the egg yolk, and she noted that it preserves the one yolk longer then the usual 4 days she can use it (stored, covered, in the fridge). I have long guesses that the high vitamin A content of the yolk was a large part of it's success, but it's really amazing. I prefer to let it dry completely, but my daughter hates that, so she scrubs off after 5 minutes.
After reading your articles and doing some research I consulted with my daughter’s NP (this clinic is very familiar with your Substack) about using DMSO for her chronic skin condition called hidradenitis. There is little information on this condition. Main stream dermatologist have nothing to offer except medications or surgery that are detrimental and not effective. We have made a lot of changes that will help overall health but I needed something I could use during a flare. She had a flare in bikini area. I can describe it as a boil that can become painful. I decided to try the 50% dmso and iodine and put it on twice a day. For the first time the bump/boil/ hardness you could feel under skin started to decrease and soften. So I’m hopeful that this will help her. Look forward to reading more about dmso and skin conditions!
I have that too. If DMSO doesn’t work you can also try tea tree oil applied directly. You can also use oil of oregano applied with a carrier oil like olive oil. The tea tree oil stopped my flare up and dissolved it. But, I have used both in the past. Good luck!
I have dissolved a cyst under the skin (on my flank area) with Lugols iodine. I applied it full strength on a cotton ball and taped it in place for 10 minutes - the solution causes a burning sensation after 10 minutes and that’s when I would pull it off. I did this about 3 times, several days apart. It seemed to be getting smaller, but then I forgot about it. When I next felt back there is was completely gone. Not a trace of anything, no skin discoloration at all. I also had a growth in my ear canal which the ENT said was like a whitehead. I treated it with the same solution on a cotton ball and rolled it til the tip would fit in my ear. I applied the Lugol’s iodine for several consecutive days, 10 minutes each time. It also fell off and came out and healed as if nothing was ever wrong. I’m a big believer in this stuff. Both my dermatologist and ENT said the only treatments were surgical removal.
Hi Michelle, my daughter (age 19) was also diagnosed with HS. She will not try DMSO because apparently, I don't smell so good (I use it for arthritis and used it for hemorrhoids). Did your daughter have any luck? Is it working? Does she only apply it externally? I drink it (about 3tsp per 10oz glass of water...3 times per day). I was just very interested to hear someone using it for HS.
Hi, after reading about dmso here I did a little more research and decided it was worth a try. I was desperate to find something we could use as treatment and to possibly prevent further flares that was safe. As you probably know the options for HS are not much help….there are side effect and recurrence is still a problem. We used it on a flare and it worked with in a few hours. We have been using it topically on areas where they usually appear. Right now she is only doing it topically. But orally might help so I’m not against trying that as well. I should add that I put iodine and then dmso on top. I am very hopeful.
Thanks for sharing this very helpful info. I am wondering if DMSO would be helpful with the fistulas under the skin (shrinking them or keeping them from flaring again)
And, would DMSO reduce the scar tissue from old inactive areas? Stage 4 hidradenitis suppurativa
1. Taking colloidal silver orally and applying topical silver creams/lotions could be helpful as the silver acts as an antibiotic. This site contains a number of articles on using silver, but here is an example, "Silver as an Amazing Antimicrobial Agent": https://honeycolony.com/article/antimicrobial-agent/
Thank you for this. Will definitely look into the silver as this may be a great option. We have been on hs website it has some good info but try to stay away from the traditional treatments.

Let's not forget that cold pressed hexane free organic castor oil can help reduce cataracts & floaters. I know someone who used MSM eye drops, & another used NAC (carnosine version) for their cataracts. Check out earthclinic.com for good remedies.
You misunderstood. earthclinic.com sells nothing. They are NOT a store & they are NOT closed. It is a website that shares alternative health remedies. If you go to that website, & put your health issue in the search bar- You will see suggestions for alternative remedies.
Can-c eye drops can be bought at many places on line. profound-health.com is only one source. You need to read ALL of the product labels before you buy anything. You have to find a place that does NOT put PEG in it or any other poisons.
I just ordered the veterinary DMSO from the website you linked. Got a small jar of the ‘gel’. Want to use it on my feet and knees. We shall see how it works.
I haven’t diluted the DMSO when I use it topically. I do dilute it when I rinse my eyes with it.
That said, I have a friend whose legs are in pretty bad shape from becoming more sedentary and not getting enough exercise… and when she puts full strength DMSO on her legs they burn and tingle for several or even an hour.
I used the gel on my forehead for keratosis for 10 days. My skin has been flaking off. Did you experience this? I'm hoping that a smooth blemish free skin will be the result. Maybe the damaged skin is being replaced with fresh new skin.
Yes it’s meant for animals, on their skin. I bought Three products, one for human use and two for animals. They all claim to be 99% pure. Big difference in price. So far, no problem for me. However, if this concerns you, go to the DMSO store website. And by all means listen to Dr. Yoho on substack. ❤️
If you just do an internet search lots of interesting articles and studies on dmso pop up. And you can call the companies that sell it and ask questions.
Personally , for research, I use duck duck go as a search engine. Google search engine pushes the good stuff wayyy down.
In mid-February this year I suffered from stroke. Right after waking up I went to the toilet and noticed that I have lost control of my palm. I walked to bed and I froze unable to lay down. Since I am a medicinal chemist with a good experience in neuroscience I immediately realized that these are the symptoms of stroke. Since the speech was not affected yet and I within minutes I regained my movement ability, I woke my wife and requested that she follows the procedure I had discussed with her in the past just in the case something like that might happen. I decided to use just DMSO, hoping that the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties of this compound would limit the damage to my brain tissue. My wife diluted 200 mL of DMSO with 600 mL of water and I drank it on an empty stomach in portions – 500 mL of the mixture over 20 minutes, another 300 mL finished within an hour from the moment I realized I was having a stroke. Then I went to the hospital by which time I lost speech (native Polish completely, English partially). It was funny that as a Pole I had to communicate in English while being treated in a Polish hospital.
I credit DMSO for not losing movement ability. My ability to speak Polish and English recovered so that I could return to full-time work as a scientist 6 weeks after the stroke. BTW – I drink DMSO everyday (6 mL diluted in water)
Yes, I had. Unfortunately, it turned out to insufficient to protect me from stroke. It protected me for 15 years when I have suffered from atrial fibrillation but eventually this approach failed (I may speculate of why this had happened). Currently I am protecting myself against repeated stroke by 1. Drinking 6 mL DMSO together with taking 1 tablet Pradaxa before going to bed 2. Taking 2 capsules Neprinol AFD (https://arthurandrew.com/products/neprinol) every morning on an empty stomach. While Pradaxa prevents clot formation it is not capable of dissolving clots already present. Neprinol dissolves clots and, theoretically, stroke cannot happen.
Thank you so much for sharing so much and also contributing to the overall knowledge with your personal experience. Atrial fibrillation must be very impactful in so many ways. It sounds like dmso alone possibly offset many complications but not quite enough. I’d be interested to hear if MWD has any insights to offer regarding Afib . Thank you again for your reply!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience here. I am the caregiver for a stroke patient and while we have tried topical treatments a few times (since reading the brain injury dmso article by the doctor) I am hesitant to give oral or IV treatments, primarily because the patient is on a blood thinner and has a pacemaker. The doctor mentioned both these concerns in this most recent article, but it seems there are no studies from which to draw conclusions. May I ask if you have a pacemaker, and whether you take a blood thinner?
I do not have a pacemaker - it is not necessary as my AF is not strong. Usually I do not feel any discomfort. As far as "blood thinners" are concerned they are either anticoagulants [Warfarin (Coumadin), Heparin, Dabigatran (Pradaxa), Apixaban (Eliquis), Rivaroxaban (Xarelto)] or antiplatelet drugs [e.g. Aspirin,
Clopidogrel (Plavix), Dipyridamole (Persantine)]. Since my stroke incident I have been taking Pradaxa (1 tablet before going to bed). Although not listed among anticoagulants Neprinol AFD also prevents clot formation.
In principle it does not matter how and when DMSO is taken. It is very well tolerated and has a half-life of about 12 hours, which support once-daily dosing. Thus, the dose is 6 mL in one portion. I prefer taking it just before going to bed. It is better that way because DMSO is metabolized with the release of dimethyl sulfide, a very smelly substance. By the morning a major fraction of DMSO circulating in the blood has already been metabolized and the smell of dimethyl sulfide during the day is minimized (social aspect), although it does not disappear completely.
I have severe arthritis post Lyme disease (I've had 4 joint replacements). I have chronic back pain which I haven't investigated recently (had MRI in 2018 which showed severe arthritis but nothing acute) I started applying DMSO to my back a couple of times a day after reading your article, and it's definitely helping! I read about DMSO years ago but was reluctant to use it because of all of the warnings. Thank you for the excellent information on DMSO - I'm sharing with all of my friends and family!
I HEAR THAT OFTEN but more often I hear that Dr. Sarno's books work well for them. I continue to read them and even read reviews which give me new ways/ideas to help utilize the truth that Dr. Sarno teaches. It is the knowledge and understanding which eventually eliminate the chronic pain. My back pain of 2 years is gone. If TWINGE COMES BACK, i KNOW WHAT TO DO and it disappears again. It really helps to see the way others deal with their pain too.
My mother used it. Bought it from the vet, mixed it with aloe vera. Her varicose veins disappeared..it worked! Used it on wounds animal/human. Arthritis. Muscle spasms..of course the vet would say “you know that is just for animal use” She would just smile.
I am currently treating a 45 year old CF patient with DMSO and glutithione. She was in the beginning stages of getting worked up for lung transplant. We'll have PFT's from before treatment and updates every 3 months starting in August. 1 month in, she's feeling like a teenager again, exercising and has been illness free for 4 weeks now, which is the longest period without antibiotics since she was in her 20's. She tells me I can share all the details of her case if you'd find them useful.
I have DMSO, glutathione and a nebulizer and I would like to know the dosage, Do I use pure DMSO or do I dilute it. If diluted how much and with what ? I suspect that you know that dosage and levels of impurities are important
Please provide details. Was diagnosed with COPD and started nebulizing glutathione as you had advised, within 2 days I saw massive improvement. Are you using 1% DMSO saline with the glutathione or a higher concentration?
AMD, I thought I should share my experience. I'm 59, caught a cold or flu while in Germany right before Christmas. I pushed myself more than I probably should of because I didn't want to ruin my daughter's first trip outside the USA. Long story short, I pushed through Scotland, Ireland and upon return after new year's, packed to travel to Japan for work the month of January. I had a cough and phlegm but was functional and chalked it up to allergies on the tail of my illness. Back in the USA it progressively got worse and I started having trouble breathing. Saw a doctor, was xrayed and told not pneumonia, but was chronic bronchitis. Given antibiotics and steroids. Got a little better but not better better. Then started getting bad again. Saw a different doctor and was given an allergy shot and nebulized abuterol, then prescribed Wix powdered steroids and abuterol inhaler, told I have COPD. I've never smoked in my life.
Had an allergic reaction to the inhaled steroids (hives, itch..) and was told to stop taking them. I joined your substack and read your articles. I ordered glutathione and DMSO. I tried topical 70% DMSO on my chest, didn't really note an improvement. I got worse to where I couldn't walk more than 100 feet or so or say more than 4 words without having to rest and catch my breath. 1% DMSO saline with a single glutathione capsule nebulized 3 times a day over a weekend allowed me to walk and talk like I did a few months ago. I'm not cured, have better days and not so great days. Still lots of phlegm to expectorate. But doing better and feel hopeful. Cant say if it was glutathione alone or the cimbination. Should I increase % of DMSO either or both topically or nebulized? To Note, I have gotten blood ox up to 100% once or twice now when i clear out the phlegm, and often can get it to stay in the 97%-98% range with deeper breaths.
Thank you SO much for the great--and BRAVE--work you do here, and most recently for the series on DMSO! I had never heard of it, but now have had great success using it on a miserable autoimmune skin condition which NOTHING else has worked on, including the "standard of care" prescription steroids. I know you wanted us to leave success stories somewhere, but I'm not sure where?
Thanks for posting this here for me, @AMidwesternDoctor! I'll expand here a bit. My skin condition is lichen schlerosis, which can be painful (mine isn't, so much) and disfiguring (mine definitely is!). The standard of care is prescription steroid and estrogen creams, basically for the rest of your life. I tried those with no success, along with varied and sundry dietary changes that are recommended on the internet. After years of no results and slow but sure degradation of my condition, imagine my delight when you introduced me to DMSO! In the course of a few weeks, my diseased skin is almost normal-looking now. The torn spots have healed. And skin that had fused together in unnatural ways--that I had thought could only be repaired through surgery--has come unfused and regained its normal structure. Truly miraculous! I'm using 60% DMSO /40% distilled water along with magnesium and boron, topically. I found the formula in a German-language blog post, of all things!
I will add that to the skin article. A few other people asked me about this as I forgot to include it and I now have a section in the article about it.
Thank you for sharing this work. I also suffer with lichen sclerosis. Intense itching and pain barely managed with steroids. I started DMSO and am getting some relief after only a few applications. I would be interested in the formula you mentioned if it would result in an even more effective treatment. I am very happy for you...
...My browser rendered it into nice clear English, but in case yours doesn't, here's the recipe:
135 ml distilled water
250 ml DMSO
135 ml Magnesium chloride
8 g borax
Twice a day was the recommendation, but I've only been doing it once a day cuz that's what my system would tolerate. Best of luck to you!! And again, a thousand apologies for not responding more promptly.
i have what i suspect is lichen pilaris and have recently lost over half my hair. Going to try this on my head. I don’t seem to react well internally to dmso when applying it topically, but maybe the addition of the magnesium etc will help with that. I feel super brain-foggy for 2-5 days after using it. super weird.
I'm going to guess that maybe DMSO is flushing out some toxins that are already in your system to make you feel that way? You are applying it to scrupulously clean skin, yes? And no jewelry or nail polish on your hand when you apply it? But having said all that, I find I can’t use it every day either. I get an unpleasant pins-and-needles sensation all over if I overdo it. I read somewhere that DMSO can cause a histamine release, and I do suffer from histamine intolerance, so I think that’s my issue. Might have some bearing on your reaction as well.
Hello, is this formula supposed to include borax or boron? The German translation says borax but you said boron so I’m not sure which one to use? Thank you for all of your help!
This is an excellent series and I so appreciate you MWD! I thank God for you daily & pass on the link to your Substack many times, so many people are in need of relief. I’ve been using DMSO about 4 months on degenerating discs (C3-T1) with great results-improved sleep, increased activity levels, reduced pain. (*sigh* palpable improvement) I now have symptoms of a vitreous detachment so this week I began a 10% DMSO/saline solution 2 times a day and noticed less floaters and flashes giving me clearer field of vision. Amazing. I’ll continue to be grateful for all your work to help so many and I’ll spread the word to others in need. Thank you
Haven't read the whole thing yet, but I had eye changes when taking 30 ml. DMSO internally for a few months. I've always been near sighted and worn glasses or contacts, but as I got older I was beginning to need bifocals. One day I noticed I couldn't see clearly up close through my reading glasses. I thought my eyes were just getting worse and that I needed stronger lenses. To my surprise, when I took my reading glasses off, I could see the smallest print quite clearly. I've never needed reading glasses since. At 60 years old, I can read the tiniest print with no glasses. My nearsightedness did not get worse, and I have no cataracts, so I haven't noticed anything negative.
So interesting! I've been reading MWD's articles and the many encouraging comments about people using DMSO for many different issues.
It does get confusing, however, regarding 'how to take it' (drinking it vs applying it topically) and 'how to dose it' (such as your example of making a 50/50 mix of DMSO + distilled water....and I believe that is for drinking, and I'm guessing you are drinking 30 ml per day??? But that is a guess. Other people commenting seem to be dosing it differently.)
For topical application, people are writing what they're doing (amounts, percentages, where to apply it, how often, etc.) and it appears to be all over the map. Some seem to be writing that they apply DMSO directly without diluting it. Others purchase DMSO in a gel form. And others appear to dilute it.
I'm also a bit confused regarding which types of physical issues DMSO has solved for people - those seem to be all over the map as well. (Perhaps that's a good thing!)
Some books that people have recommended that I thought would answer my questions more succinctly also have reviews where people write that the book didn't answer those questions. Rather, the book addressed 'why' you should use DMSO, 'what' DMSO is, and 'who' can use DMSO; but it didn't address 'how' to use DMSO in terms of dosage, usage, and the 'how' of ingesting/drinking vs applying it topically (& how much & how often).
If anyone can point me to a book or article which succinctly and clearly answers the 'how' questions, I would appreciate the resources. Thank you.
I'll try to be more clear. At the advice of a naturopath, I took 30 ml pure liquid DMSO mixed with 30 ml distilled water, mixed in a glass jar with a metal spoon. You just swallow it. You may want a chaser because it tastes horrible. I was on no other medications so I can't speak to that, like taking them apart from each other. I took this everyday for a few months. I started at 5 ml to see how I'd handle it and moved up to 30 ml in just a couple days. I'm a fairly big guy, 220lbs, so your milage may vary.
For topical use a gel is easier because liquid DMSO runs off like water. You can buy this gel ready made at your local farm store in the horse section. Here's a link https://www.ruralking.com/dmso-90-gel-16-0z You just rub it on to areas you want help. Make sure your skin is clean and rub it on with a cotton ball, nothing artificial like polyester. Let it dry before putting clothing over it and same deal, cotton clothing. You can apply it as many times as a day as your need. It works great for pain
Read this stack for uses but it helps with a wide variety of things. All you can do is give it a shot and see if it helps. You're not going to find things that say x dose applied x way cures x problem. It's not FDA approved so all you're going to find is anecdotes of how people used it and what it did.
It seems like, for the liquid DMSO, a lot of people are using the "DMSO Store" brand. Is that a good brand for most people?
For topical use, do you think the gel version is better than the roll-on DMSO? (like this roll-on: https://amzn.to/3Ab6KGk )
From reading articles and comments, it seems like DMSO has cured a lot of things - internal illnesses, vision issues, & lowering or eliminating pain (from sports or other injuries). I don't have much going wrong, but I have unexplained eczema in a few areas, some shoulder pain that rehab exercises haven't yet healed, and I never thought of something like DMSO (ingesting it) fixing eye issues (interesting - I've already had cataract surgery, but still have floaters in one eye).
Thank you! I turned 50 this year. Never needed glasses. They said I qould need reading glasses at 40. But only the past month, I can't see! Now I carry 1.5 readers with me. Such a pain but worse that I can't see. I will try the DMSO. Thank you!
I'm nearly your age, a lifelong astigmatism, I think I will try a low daily dose. My annual eye checkup is in a few months and it'll be interesting to see if my baby cataracts or or reading has changed.
I took 30 ml pure DMSO mixed in a glass with 30 ml water every day. Just swallow it down. It's nasty tasting! I started at 5 ml and worked my way up to that dose in a couple weeks. There's absolutely no guarantee it will do that for your mom. My wife also took it and had no changes in her eyes whatsoever and still wears reading glasses. DMSO seems to have a mind of its own and latches on to different problem areas without rhyme or reason. There are stories that the papermill workers who first started noticing its effects would be getting DMSO all over their right arm and suddenly discover that old injuries to their left shoulder or right hip felt better, even though they hadn't used any in that area.
Thanks for helping out, interesting indeed! so it's 50%? 5ml DMSO and 5ml water first? just ordered a pure bottle, hoping to try on a friend with thyroid cancer, praying for your wife, my mom, and all! :D
Thanks, can always use prayers. It was recommended to start small because it's horrible tasting. I'd have something like a little shot of fruit juice for a chaser. You can start with a higher dose if you can stomach it. Yes, just a 50/50 mixture. I just use tap water run through our filter, but you could use any kind you want. Use a metal spoon and clear glass because some plastics get dissolved by DMSO. Some plastics don't, so don't worry if your DMSO is shipped in plastic. It if is, you can be sure it's a plastic that can handle it. Also use clear glass because some painted ceramics might also have the paint dissolve.
So no distilled water needed? Do you drink on empty stomach? Amandha Vollmer in her book says "You must take this DMSO dose on an empty stomach, two hours after your last meal and not eat for two hours after you take the dose. The DMSO will also help the vitamin C absorb better into the body..." She also mentioned 40% eye drop, have you tried it? Not sure if it's too much to drink and eye drop at the same time...
Never tried eye drop. Just used filtered water. If it's safe to drink, it's safe to mix with DMSO. Always took at night before bed, so probably empty stomach.
Yes, a 50/50 mixture with distilled water, so 30ml DMSO/30ml water. I started at 5/5 to see how I'd handle it and moved up quickly. I took it every day for a few months for different problem (pain relief from a torn labrum) and the presbyopia disappearing was an unexpected bonus. This was probably 10 years ago. I take a 5 ml dose periodically now, larger when I have bad joint or muscle pain. I also apply it externally frequently.
Yes. There's are plastics it won't dissolve but I don't know what they are so I just don't take chances and use glass and metal. If it comes in plastic you can be sure it doesn't dissolve that kind of plastic and it's safe.
I also had a torn lumbar. Had the surgery to repair it., which helped for sure. But now after 7 years have a mysterious lump of flesh over it, which seems to come and go. Very strange. But doesn’t hurt at least.
I have used dmso from Jacob lab, dmso Canada, herbal mana (they don’t sell it anymore) and dmso store. I wish I could understand the difference in price, but I can tell you there is a difference in taste. They all taste horrible, but Jacob lab and dmso Canada don’t have the strange aftertaste the other 2 have. I’m not sure if there is a difference in effectiveness, just taste.
I did test dmso store by putting in fridge to see if it froze and it does.
DMSO.store has some great products made with dmso. Peace cream is great and the eye drops are nice. I think theirs comes from dmso Canada.
I buy MSM from happy body store and feel they have excellent quality. Healthy-living.org has an MSM I have seen that looks good too, just costs more.
DMSO works great for poison ivy, make sure to wash the area well first. I seem to get into it all the time and even if I catch it and wash it off, my skin still reacts. DMSO clears it up in a day or less. I’ve tried everything to clear it up, dmso is magic.
I am pretty healthy overall, so I use dmso and msm as experiments and just to see what they do. I don’t have any dramatic stories, but I like to know how things works in case I ever need to use them for real.
Thank you for these wonderful articles. I have shared them with many people I know, some with kids with disabilities. Getting past the fear is hardest for most, which I totally get. I tell them it has not killed me, lol!
PS Adding to my previous comment, I’m not suggesting it is dangerous, just pointing out the name sounds scary! I’m actually taking DMSO now, started 3 days ago, for pain in my hand/wrist and also to see if it helps with brain fog. Topically at 60% strength and also 1/2 tspn in juice once day. 🙏
Not sure what type of hand/wrist pain you're dealing with, but have you ever tried taking ivermectin for it? I used to have pain in my right wrist that would flare up now and then. I'm not sure if it was carpal tunnel syndrome, RSI, tendonitis or what. During the pandemic, I heard about ivermectin being used as a prophylactic for Covid-19. After just taking two doses of the ivermectin, I noticed that my right wrist no longer hurt. I haven't had any wrist pain since then.
I experienced the same with ivermectin for my carpal tunnel!!! Took ivermectin for c19 in 2021 and my severe ct that Dr wanted to operate on!, magically disappeared. I now seldomly have pain which I am trying dmso gel, not sure yet if it is working but I’ve only applied it twice in the last week
I’ve been trying a drop of 30% DMSO in each eye every morning, just to see if it changes anything. It burns slightly for a couple of seconds, after which I feel no discomfort at all. The same concentration on my face burns slightly for a few minutes after application.
Makes no discernible difference to eyes. On face, helps a lot with sunburn (more effective than aloe vera). Now and then I steep a finger in a shot glassful of DMSO for ten minutes, to help with what I think is the early stages of osteoarthritis, and that also seems to be effective: finger much less stiff afterwards.
After reading your earlier article I immediately bought a bottle of 99% at the farm store to apply to my sore elbow and shoulder (tendonitis?). Also, ordered 70% with Aloe off Amazon. The first night was the best night sleep I've had in a long time. It's pain relief effect seems to last about 4 hours. The 70% is scented and much more tolerable. Thank you for your excellent articles. You are making a difference to many.
I have been taking two teaspoons of DMSO diluted in water daily for about 3 months with no known side effects. I have low kidney function and three years post heart bypass surgery. Since starting this pattern my reflux has disappeared and I am feeling great. I also had occasional sharp pains in my feet which disappeared. My main reason for starting DMSO was for the general protein healing properties including vessels, brain, and blood flow.
I use topical DMSO for skin abrasions and local pain. Taking it PO is more convenient for me.
What concentration of DMSO do you take? I've had reflux for years and can't seem to get rid of it. I finally gave up and tried Omeprazole, but it didn't work. DMSO did wonders for my arthritic knees, so would love to try it for reflux too.
My wife and I have used DMSO topically for a variety of issues, muscle aches and injuries, joint pain, bruises, etc. for nearly 50 years. Initially we learned of its benefits from veterinarians.
We have suggested it to others but our advise has fallen on deaf ears, until recently. More people are open to Pharma alternatives and thinking for themselves.
I bought DMSO in Germany recently and have been using it (50% dilluted with distilled water for body, 30% dilluted with distilled water for face) with cautiously optimistic results. It clears out the skin infections I was having on my arms but does not cure every ailment (no effect on some rashes I am struggling with). When I put it on my face it unexpectedly healed my bleeding gums. I can taste it in my mouth slightly after I put it in on my face, the way it penetrates the skin is remarkable. It can either tingle or sting a bit but it fades and I have noticed no lasting negative effect. I did not try it on my eyes because I don't have any problems there but in my experience of 2 weeks it's been safe. I am inclined to believe all the research from MWD that it could do great things, but it depends on the ailment and on the person.
I have a lot of confidence in A Midwestern Doctor's articles on DMSO. I have used it for years because my good friend who is a veterinarian has used it for decades for treating animals and himself. If you know some vets you could call to see if they have any clients with animals they could test out the the DMSO in isotonic saline dilution on. I have used DMSO topically on muscle injuries and small varicose veins. I have also used it on capillary bleeds under the skin. (Yes I am an old guy now) It dissipates the blood much faster that my body does on its own. My wife uses on a thumb that get sore and swollen from overuse.
Wow! I am so grateful AMD...The work you have done here is staggering. Thank you so much for bringing this into the light. I wish to add two more uses I have found for DMSO, which you have also touched upon in your work. First, a Fire Fighting injury to the eyelid, hot tar, while my face shield was lifted, using a chainsaw, while on a ladder to breach and ventilate an attic space via an upper wall, caused a chronic inflammation of the lower lid...which the doctor was unable to resolve...for about 10 years...I finally applied, with a q-tip applicator, a 25% solution of DMSO...and within a week, the problem resolved, and never recurred. Secondly, 12 days before I performed the endurance test required for employment as a Professional Fire Fighter, I unfortunately passed three fingers through the blade of a table saw...losing the proximal 1/4 of the finger tip of the left hand, passing through the knuckle mid-finger of the middle finger, and taking a chunk out of the mid knuckle of the ring finger...all were stitched by an Emergency Room Physician 3 hours later. When the endurance test was challenged, of course the wounds opened, and blood was shed...I did not believe I would be hired because of the wounds...but, amazingly, I was hired because in spite of the fact that I was bleeding all over the place, I refused to quit...they said..."we like that...you are hired". After about 10 years, and having used the DMSO ON MY EYE LID successfully, I applied 99.99% DMSO to the stiff middle knuckle, and with some gentle force, over about a one week period, I could again bend that knuckle nearly to a normal position...the cartilage/tendon stretched enough after using the DMSO as to make the knuckle nearly normal. The pain also became unnoticeable. Thank you for you work AMD...you are a blessing.
Yes indeed. A damaged tendon was not allowing the finger to bend fully, DMSO was applied, to the tight joint area, allowed to soak in, and the joint gently stretched by bending a little further each time...and it worked perfectly...including reducing pain...the damaged knuckle has a size 15 1/2 ring size, but it bends perfectly. Range of motion is increased, restored to near normal...within 1/2 inch of touching the palm
I applied the DMSO to the lower eye lid around 1994...and have been glad I did ever since. The family doctor could not fix it...and was a little muffled in his response when I showed him the positive outcome. Thank you AMD...you are part of the solution...I just finished mentioning your work to Dr. William Makis, an Oncologist in Edmonton, who is fighting the mainstream miscreants daily, on our behalf. Everyone would benefit from you and him collaborating. God bless you, and thanks for all your phenomenal work.
I’m from Canada and was hosting some fishermen from USA when I suffered terrible burns to the front of both my thighs. They gave me some ointment to put on the burn which had started to blister badly. In 15 minutes or so the pain went away completely and the blistering went away. By the end of the day the only sign I’d had a burn was a slight pink skin. They gave me the ointment and a bottle of liquid. By the time I’d used it all , I had lost contact with them. I was so happy to get your email on Sept 15.
48F. Married 24 years. Two adult daughters, 28, 22.
For two years, I steadily declined in health. To the point that I was on bedrest for three months and eventually bedridden, wearing adult diapers for weeks. The abdominal pain was severe and my husband and adult daughters took shifts "watching me." 100% supervision was required for help to the bathroom. I was regularly passing out. They didn't call the ambulance because I was adamant that no one could/would help me.
I reached a breaking point when I was randomly lucid enough for my daughter to explain to me I was passing out several times a day. On July 8th, I was admitted to the ICU for what we now know was a duodenal ulcer that hit a blood vessel. I moved from ICU after two days to the acute care unit. I had been bleeding internally for several months. I WAS TESTED AND FOUND TO HAVE A 2.2 HEMOGLOBIN COUNT!
After many tests, IV dilaudid (mg?) and then ora. oxycontin 10mg alternating every two hours, a mid-line IV after multiple failures, three separate blood transfusions- total of five bags, discovered EIGHT blood clots in my legs, an IVC filter inserted, heparin started, five bags of iron, etc... they finally let me go home on July 21st with a five day supply of pain meds, Eliquis, a PPI prescription, and a prescription for Carafate. My husband was going to lose his job and I refused to be at the hospital without an advocate, so they let me go.
I wasn't able to walk or use the toilet on my own. The physical therapists at the hospital were brutal, forcing me to stand and walk on very, very swollen legs that I didn't feel stable on. We figured I was looking at an uphill battle to get back on my feet. My ankles had a miniscule range of motion.
In hindsight, it's very clear that my hemoglobin level was steadily declining. This caused nervous system issues, extreme gut issues, etc. We hypothesize that the onset of menopause is what caused my body to revolt.
I'm terrified of the hospital/doctors and I don't have health insurance. Many years ago I had what was eventually discovered to be adenomyosis after a desperate request for a hysterectomy. The testing processes, an ablation (which the lining then grew back after a few months), exploratory surgeries, pain management nightmare (my doctor eventually had me addicted to Vicodin), allowed me to know what to expect if I sought help again. I already knew that if I wasn't "sick enough," they would just send me home from the ER having stomach pain.
I lost all my teeth at 19 when I had my older daughter. Apparently, I've had issues with severe anemia all my life and never knew. With all the medical issues I've had, no one ever told me to learn about it and how to manage it.
With all that said, I purchased DMSO a few days ago. My 28 year old daughter and I patch tested it on our arms on Thursday. On Friday, we both used it on our jawline and neck to handle some pain when we chewed. On Saturday, very shortly after this article, I decided to slather it on my swollen feet. Today, I've done it twice more.
Here are our observations:
- It relieved all jaw/mouth/chewing pain in fifteen minutes for both of us! To the point where we gaslit ourselves into thinking we were faking it all along, lol!
- We are already sleeping better.
- We are happier and calmer. My fight/flight response has been in overdrive for a few years. Rest and recovery was impossible. Same for my daughter who has been my primary caretaker.
- The autoimmune symptoms are dramatically relieved. I'm urinating much better, no pain in my pelvis, etc.
- I have significantly improved range of motion in my ankles... from ONE application Saturday night. I usually have to elevate my legs four times a day for half hour at a time. I didn't elevate at all today and felt no pain until 4:00 pm. When I promptly reapplied!
- For the first time in two years, we hung out in the kitchen preparing food as a family (with me on my feet from 10:30 am - 5:00 pm.) Usually, I could only stand for half hour at a time before the pain in my ankles was too much and my back started aching!!
So, first of all, thank you so much. Truly.
Secondly, I was taking photos of my feet before/after since last night to document the changes and differences. I wanted to offer to send them to you over time since most individuals can't PROVE their wonderful results. I have a tattoo that proves that it's me each time, I'm willing to send my medical records, and am willing to answer any and all questions you have. I'm also very open to taking and following instruction to do it differently. I have no idea if this would be helpful, so I figured I'd ask.
Thank you so much. You've already changed my life... by providing hope. I wish that my family and I had a way to repay you. Much love, appreciation, and respect!
P.S. I'm not dunking on the people who saved my life, three times over. I appreciate the medical staff that knew how to treat me. Fifteen minutes into the ER and I was receiving blood. They estimated that I had fifteen minutes of life left. Just a note, no intention to disrespect those that gave me a second chance at life.
That is a very heartwarming story (especially the part about dinner with your family).
Few quick thoughts:
•Your story again illustrates why it's so frustrating DMSO was buried by the medical system.
•The only thing you can really "do" in return for me is tell more people about DMSO. I put an immense amount of into this series because I really want the benefit it can provide to be available to more people.
•Most of the responses you described are typical things people experience from DMSO.
•The one thing you may want to look into is taking the Chinese Herbal Formula Yunnan Bai Yao. It's often very helpful for these types of chronic internal bleeding cases (e.g., I've seen some "miraculous" results from using it on people who were chronically anemic despite regular infusions and often on the verge of death from the anemic episodes).
•If you want to send me the medical records or pictures and there's a good before after change from DMSO I can put into an article, please do. amidwesterndoctor@substack.com
I don’t know if DMSO would be helpful on a torn meniscus, but many years ago, what worked to heal my torn meniscus in my left knee was Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, a version of prolotherapy. I am an arborist/tree climber and couldn’t work anymore, my knee was so swollen. I went to Dr Tallman in Scottsdale AZ and he said he could fix me after looking at my MRI (which you will need for any doc to accurately assess your chances at recovery). I only went three of the four visits he said it would take, spaced about a month apart. I have gone back to tree climbing and have run two full marathons since then and many smaller races and have no issues…..and it has been more than 10 years. Obviously DMSO is cheaper, and easier and you can start immediately from home, but if u need a fallback, think about PRP therapy….no “side effects”….whatever you do, don’t let them “scraped or “trim” your meniscus…you will probably end up with arthritis…
I hope you find some relief. I know I couldn’t walk a block when I messed up my knee (climbing trees) and tore the meniscus.
In the first article of the series, the doctor recommends three brands with links.
They took too long to ship so I searched Amazon for "DMSO 70." I didn't want to mess with diluting it myself.
I purchased the first one that got here in two days. It's been a miracle. Try it!
It's helped with all my issues, with the exception of range of motion in my ankles and knees, I'm almost completely healed. It's helped with my husband's shoulder. It's helped with my 28dd mouth pain. It's taken my 22dd's ear pain away. It's truly a set of miracles. Try it! I won't hurt you and it's a cheap "experiment!" (Apologies on taking so long to answer. I wasn't notified of a comment.)
silly question. have you ever gotten b12 injections? or looked into Pernicious anemia?
b12 is cheap, easy, and safe. i'm in CA. i bought syringes online. bought b12 ampules from a German pharmacy. they didn't do the trick for me but i have no regrets. my labs always some back low for b12.
I haven't! Learning about anemia in general, I now know the importance of iron, folate, and B12. We are changing the way we eat in addition to supplementing. Dr. Eric Berg on youtube has wonderful information on vitamins and the correct types to take (helped me understand the difference between synthetic and natural vitamins.)
We're starting a garden and learning about amendments so we can pack more nutrition into our diet. We're also going to move toward a long-term change to a keto diet.
I will look into the injections. Thank you very much for taking the time to help me!
The Midwestern Doctor also has information on how to get bloodwork done to test for nutrients. We plan to have me tested for that as soon as we can. Though I can't remember which article I read about it in... maybe increasing zeta potential?
We're also setting up areas on our property to make earthing a habit for the whole family.
After reading this I got a tub of 70/30 gel and applied it to my sons feet three times per day. He was riding his skateboard barefoot and crunched his toes under his feet. No broken bones.
Within three days he said he felt no pain or discomfort at all. For the sort of injury it was it seemed like the sort of thing which would take weeks to stop hurting and for all discomfort to end for a sixteen year old!
I had a similar success with a much less severe mishap. I stubbed a toe on a rock in the garden, and it immediately started swelling. I was pretty sure it was a sprain, couldn't put any weight on it.
I had just gotten a delivery of DMSO (100%), prompted by AMD's thorough explanations. This being my first attempt to use it, I was cautious... I dipped a Q-tip into the bottle and rubbed it on my toe (top and bottom). Pain and swelling went down in minutes, no burning or any other discomfort. Three applications, about 1/2 hour apart, and total recovery.
I then noticed pain in my foot tendons (apparently masked by the louder pain in the toe). One more application, and that was the end.
Next I'm going to try it on my varicose veins, which I've been living with for 50 years.
I have a dear friend who was severely vaccine injured decades ago. His mother was a GP and he got his typhoid shot before travelling overseas on her insistance. It almost killed him. In an effort to heal himself, he studied everything he could lay his hands on and put himself on a big regime of alternative treatment protocols including DMSO. He ingests it and applies it liberally for all manner of ailments. I have used it also (not internally). If it hasn't killed him after decades of use, I dare say it is safe and probably much safer than a lot of the toxic garbage sitting on pharmacy shelves, as he all but bathes in it and he's doing just fine. No, I'm not a doctor or medically trained and Im not offering advice, but sharing my experience and I am open to learning more. Thank you for sharing!
I've been using DMSO with 2% povidone iodine (Betadine) for months with great success. Heals diabetic leg ulcers, toe nail fungus, and even seems to help with skin cancers. The FDA 'banned' it because of a single case where it changed the refractive index of a Rat eye. I assume that on dissipation, the refractive index returned to normal with no harm done.
MWD linked to your comment. I think the key is povidone iodine. I started with Iodine Tincture (cause I had it). it didn't work so I moved over to povidone iodine (Betadine) and its been more successful. However, its still only been about five weeks. Per one of MWD's points...I try to take the weekend off so my body doesn't get used to the DMSO.
I live in Portugal and Betadine is sold with a 10% povidone iodine concentrartion. Would you say it can also work for nail fungus treatment, together with DMSO?
Note the colloidal silver may have also helped heal kitties eye ❤️. I have been using DMSO on my psoriasis with much success. It generally works well as a preventative; however, with a flare up I add a small dab of topical steroid and that knocks it out 100%. It does a really good job transporting other substances. I’ve noticed some skin irritation with a new purchase from a different source. So I think it’s important to make sure you have a trusted vendor.
I wish I had the same outcome on my plaque psoriasis. I've tried it twice now on 2 areas of my upper arm and both times, I ended up with a larger area of redness that was warm to the touch.
I think it would depend on how bad things are. There are underlying issues for psoriasis and this would help restore gut / interstitial / skin health and immunity. If you've got metabolism issues or other health problems, this is a good first step, but you'd have to address them as well. Brewer55 in a comment below directly correlated specific food issues related to flare ups. That's also a good place to start, in general, in improving your overall condition. It's an experiment in sample size = 1. We're all different. Find what works for you.
Since my post, my wife and I have been on a Paleo diet. I am also eating plain greek yogurt and drinking a bit of Kefir daily -- for gut health. My spots of psoriasis are much better but, still not psoriasis free. I also take Floristor, a very good probiotic. Gut issues seem to run in my family so, I'm doing what I can to improve things.
Have you tried to add any collagen / Vitamin C / zinc to your routine? Grass-fed bone broth / gelatin is wonderful for healing the gut. Also obviously skin and the interstitial tissues. I've had pretty good success with it. Also, the article on increasing Zeta potential may be useful too.
The toxins eliminated by the parasites in our gut create inflammation, skin rashes, Parkinson, Alzheimer, and many other disorders. We are not told about this. If you visit the right wellness clinic you will be given the right information.
A microbiome test and then correct probiotics, plus resolving unresolved events in your life, would cii lui ear psoriazis. In any disease there us a big percentage of a psychological component. My opinion...
Somebody convinced me to try the x39 patches for the psoriasis I'm dealing with. I've been using the patches for 2 weeks and 'maybe' I see a very minimal improvement, but time will tell. I see some research using dmso along with an extract of camptotheca nuts cured psoriasis about 70% of the time, with the remainder of participants getting a near resolution of symptoms. The problem is finding an extract of camptotheca nuts.
I've got a flare up again in the same area of my arm - the right bicep and the opposite side. I've become all but convinced that alcohol consumption and sugar / carbs are directly related to flare ups. I've had too much "holiday cheer" in the last few weeks. I'm going cold turkey on all of it now as the itching is relentless!
My 86 yr old mom had blackish plaques on her legs. Multiple dermatologists and Rx. Nothing worked. I mixed MMS (chlorine dioxide) and DMSO. Soaked gauze, wrapped legs and sat her in the sun. In one week (twice a day) GONE never to return.
I remembered the initial buzz around DMSO from way back in the 1960s or 70s.
Supposedly the story was that Pacific Northwest pulpwood process workers had to get their hands in a slurry that contained DMSO and all had noticed a relief from any arthritic type pain in their hands.
After the Doc here brought up the benefits I gave it a try on some minor chronic pain.
Pretty much just the usual old age back and knee pain on wake up in the AM or after physical work.
I seem to have a high pain tolerance, or maybe I'm just a lunkhead and ignore it.
After running the tolerance tests as per Docs' suggestion it turns out I can tolerate 100% DMSO.
I can feel it sinking in which is a bit spooky in a good way.
After putting it on my knees and back I almost can't believe how quickly the pain stops.
Swapping out the plastic on my greenhouse, I was using concrete blocks to weigh the plastic down as I worked with it and one of the blocks slipped out of my hands and made a direct hit on my lower leg.
End result was something very reminiscent of major motorcycle road rash on my skin and a good bit of bone deep pain.
Remembering DMSO had been used successfully on burns I slathered it on.
It killed the pain (thank you!) and as I continue to apply it the rash is healing WAY more quickly than any of my prior road rash escapades and the deep pain is gone.
Up next is my ancient and dearly loved old Golden Retriever girl.
She's around 15 - 16 years old and has the usual collection of lumps and bumps on her skin that old dogs get.
One of them was a giant bump/cyst that eventually broke open and was draining for quite a while.
Then some larger growths started showing up at the drainage site....not good.
I found a few articles where people had good success with castor oil on the old dog bumps and gave it a try.
Ever so slowly it seemed to be reversing the problem.
After reading all the DMSO info I could find, it seems some folks had been mixing DMSO with castor oil at a 50/50 ratio.
I mixed some up and started using that on the wound after testing for allergy.
It's only been around a week now but all the swelling has gone down and I think we're on our way to getting this nasty business healed up much more quickly.
Further updates on some of the other great advice here.
I wasn't too concerned about Zeta potential figuring I spend a lot of my day outside among my gardens and fruit trees.
I figured I probably got enough sun exposure to keep things right.
I also figured my well water was good quality...but, no, it wasn't.
It used to be but commercial agriculture locally has pushed the nitrate levels in the water to unhealthy levels.
You really don't want high nitrate water because all I read suggests that impairs oxygen carrying capacity of your blood in a big way.
So, off I go to get a distiller and the zeta water chemicals required and got that project working.
Initially, I really didn't like the taste of the zeta water but a bit of lime juice fixed that.
I don't think the lime is messing with the PH, or at least I don't see much change in the alkalinity using PH paper.
After a few runs of the distiller I was surprised at how much mineral had been removed from the water.
I can see how your kidneys would like not having to process all that.
When my Dad died he had a great old country doc, who told us that in the end, it gets down to kidney or heart failure and kidney is easier because you go out gradually as opposed to drowning in snot when your heart can't keep up.
I was laughing, thinking to myself all this kidney health may sign me up for the harder exit from life when the time comes, but that's OK. I'll take my chances.
Turns out this was a very good move.
First thing I noticed is that a minor chest pain I've always had since a kid, that no one could ever diagnose, disappeared.
Whatever it was didn't show up in stress and all the other heart tests so I figured just not something to worry about.
I had been taking low dose aspirin and that seemed to keep it backed off but I quit the aspirin and it's fine.
It was there every morning until I took the aspirin but now it's gone.
Blood pressure dropped 8 - 10 points, from mid 140s down into mid 130s.
After the docs' article on the fallacies of the hysteria over higher blood pressure I wasn't worried about readings in the 140s, as I'm in my 70s age wise, but lower readings are probably beneficial and no signs of vertigo or other warnings the BP is too low for the overall system.
So a hearty THANK YOU! to the Doc here and the awesome information provided.
Everything you described is a very common experiences (classic responses) with these therapies, which again makes it so frustrating it's not known within the medical field.
Nice to know that at my age that I'm a "classic" and not just another old junk car.
I know what you mean about info withheld. Many of the things that were art or work over the years suffered from people wanting to maintain secrecy on what they knew for personal profit, or to disappear things to cover up bad intent or incompetence.
That goes to a whole different level when people are physically suffering or dying.
Hi Dave, thanks for sharing the results you've experienced. Question about the dog, how did you get her clean before applying the mixture? A friends dog has a seasonal rash over most of his quite large body. Only thing that touches it are steroids/antibiotics. They aren't too excited about going that route again. DMSO cleared up Psoriasis inside my arm(among other aches pains and scars). But thats a bit easier to get clean! Any information that you or anyone else has is much appreciated!
I wasn't terribly conscientious about cleaning it out first before the DMSO application. I would clean it out with running water from the hose when we were outside...and I remembered. I figured (perhaps incorrectly?) that there weren't any chemicals on her so not much in the dirt she might have had on her to cause problems.
Thanks for the response! That's what I was thinking, too. We've used DMSO on the Ranch mainly for lameness in horses for years. Was always careful with it. Now I use it for human ailments!
I think it is unfortunate that DMSO doesn’t have a common name, only a chemical name. Many of us have a strong preference for natural substances over synthetic drugs. “Dimethyl Sulfoxide” doesn’t exactly scream “safe and natural”. Would you like some glucopyranose in your coffee?
Something like “lignolin” (a nod to it being derived from tree lignin), would be probably be perceived as more natural and safer than DMSO.
I was refering to DMSO which is a name that has been around forever, have used it on my horse for years, vs Miracle Cream as suggested. A name like that doesn't tell me what's in it.
Two successful uses. 1st. I treated myself for a repetitive stress injury. I hurt my wrist last spring by not stopping a repetitive action when it began to hurt. I started wearing a wrist brace 2 months ago, and it was healing, but 80% DMSO has helped more. This is a weak, very subjective note.
2nd: More importantly, my wife suffers from early onset Alzheimer's and is at stage 7. Cannot walk, change position, or feed herself. Now at age 71. One year ago I broke out the emergency use drugs, ivermectin and fenbendazole to treat horrid bed sores. These worked with better hygiene and diet, the sores healed. There was a side effect. The never stopping, month by month decline ended. The drugs stopped an infection in her brain, possibly a fungus. This left her in a stable but bad state. I stated treating her with DMSO on and around her neck. I reduced the concentration from 80% to 53% due to some redness in the skin. After two weeks, there is a significant change. It had been difficult to care for her as she fought me when I changed her diaper and shorts. Three times a day. This last week, the second week of DMSO treatment, and the fighting has ended. Now some grumbling and weak resistance. No more fierce grabbing of everything around her. I will continue the DMSO treatment around her neck through this month. Life is much better.
Might also look up Interview with Dennis N Crouse PhD on the Unbekoming substack or google his name for his website for more re Alzheimer's, he has a recipe for silica water
That’s amazing. I hope your wife continues to improve. Sorry to ask, do you know where can I get some DMSO (I am in Sydney)? My mother (in NZ) has arthritis that is getting worse and I’d really love it if I could help her… Thank you
Thank you doctor for all your great and laborious work, the information you share is invaluable. So grateful to find your writings.
I have been using dmso for 5 years now and no side effect except wrinkled skin when the concentration is above 80%. I apply it to painful joints, I use it on my skin after sunburn and have tan all year round, I used it on my eyes (25% compress). One thing I noticed when I get scratches and cuts (from gardening) if I apply dmso immediately it usually heal and dissappear in 1-3 days without a trace. Depending how deep the scratches are. Being type 1 diabetic it's an invaluable remedy for me because usually any cut I get takes weeks to heal and it always leaves a scar. After reading your articles I plann on exploring dmso use for other health issues.
I've been using DMSO topically for almost thirty years for muscle soreness. I just rub it on whatever is sore and tired, and I've always considered it a miracle remedy for hand and foot injuries such as jammed fingers or sprained ankles.
I bought some after reading it cleared up clouds in eyes. Its worked for me a good deal on my eye cloud, but the side effect I didn't even realize was happening is that my pretty terrible joint pain is just about gone. I even thought I should consider seeing an ortho for knee pain-possibly a tear or something. Couldn't put weight on it up or down stairs. Now it's like nothing happened! Same with shoulder and elbow joint pain. Gone! Trying it now with IVM on a suspicious skin spot...
I purchased a 70/30 mix of DMSO/Castor oil. I just do one drop a day in the one eye with a cloud. I'd say it took maybe two weeks to notice the cloud was clearing. I put a drop or two on the skin spot I have on my shin. That knee is the one that was hurting so bad. I never put any directly on my knee, or arm joints. I haven't changed anything else but it could also be amplifying my supplements maybe? I take a curcumin supplement.
I have a C-6C-7 nerve injury. I had pain in my neck and down my 1 arm. I sprayed this on a few times and I have no pain. It’s amazing stuff!
Placed 1 drop of DMSO, 1 drop of Chlorine Dioxide in colloidal silver as carrier into a portable nebulizer (from Amazon) for this gnarly annoying tickle cough. So far it’s feeling I may be onto something 🤞🏽
Looks like this article is heading towards a year old, so I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but I recently started oral DMSO. I weighed 3.5g of it, which happens to be right around 4 droppers full and 10 drops using a 2oz amber dropper bottle. I've been using 4 squirts twice a day. One thing that I noticed is a huge drop in my blood pressure which was getting pretty bad. I had already quit taking prescription meds for BP years ago and it wasn't getting any better despite changes in diet, exercise and weight.
4 squirts in about 12-16 oz of water, doesn't taste great but I've had worse tasting things in my mouth before. I found that, if I want to do a mouthwash, I can put 3.5g (which is coincidentally about 3.2ml) into a small flask with 30ml of water. I can swish that around and again, not a fan of the taste, but it's not really that bad.
For whatever reason, I don't seem to urinate any more frequently. And, lastly, I have already been using 100% DMSO on acne and skin problems. It doesn't really burn on my face, hands, or arms, but does sting a bit on my torso. That has worked better than any acne or other medications for cuts or burns that I've ever tried.
So you took 4 dropperfuls + 10 drops of 98% DMSO and put it in 12-16 oz of water, and then took 4 squirts (which is 4 dropperfuls) into the mouth, 2x/day? Not clear what you did and used. and then you kept the remaining solution in fridge? And then took 4 squirts each day out of that until gone and then made up another solution?
Hi Bob, no further clarification was added, does this mean that the interpretation offered (..."So you took 4 dropperfuls...etc.") is correct and can be confirmed?
Because of all of your informative usage of DMSO, I bought a bottle of DMSO 99.9% from amazon. My husband had been suffering from arthritis around the knuckles of his right hand. He swabbed it straight with a cotton ball over his knuckles one evening. The next morning he comes to me with tears in his eyes and said the majority of the pain has subsided. He was over the moon. He has continued to apply it 3 times a day. He decided to try it on his knee as well and said it has helped immensely (he used to be an addicted runner).
One more small thing to add to the list. DMSO does wonders for fire ant bites. Usual progression from being bit by the little darlings is a painful pimple looking reaction to the bite, which can take a week to heal up. If the bites are on your feet the friction from shoes can make them even slower and more painful to heal. Some of them got me last week so I figured I would try some DMSO on the stings. Stopped the pain immediately and no pimply sores from the bites. Yay!
That is awesome, congrats on being pain free! I starting using it on my elderly dog last week & his arthritis seems to be slowly improving. I also have some to my daughter in law to use post tonsillectomy & she said it worked better than every Rx & it cleared up her mastitis!
He is 14.5# so I give him 2 drops of DMSO 70% (30% sterile water) in each ear every other day (after warming the glass container in my armpit) & rub 1 drop on each of his 4 limb joints the days I don’t do his ears.
I have been experimenting since shortly after your first article about DMSO.
The first thing I noticed was that a chronic skin eruption simply disappeared. No long good-byes, no scar. Just gone.
The thing I have noticed most recently is a reduction of fatigue. I used to indulge in a daily nap, then go to bed and sleep another 8-9 hours at night. Now, if I try to nap I just can't be bothered. I sleep my normal sleep at night and awaken refreshed. I do swipe the 70/30 over my thyroid area.
My shoulders are about 75% pain-reduced. My knee ... it's a little weird to describe. There are times of pain, but the overwhelming life reaction is that I just don't think about my knee anymore. I take care in certain circumstances, but the pain/discomfort/instability has taken a back seat to just living my life. I suppose that can be boiled down, if I have to get reductionist, to pain relief.
Last night I got the notion to dab a bit of the ~20% solution inside my ear with a cotton swab. No untoward sensations, no burning, but I did have a quick, mild pain in my neck just below my ear. Eustachian tube, maybe? It lasted for 3-4 seconds, then resolved.
I've been very excited to know this article was in the works, as I have a couple of these "incurable" conditions. I mentioned previously in a comment that on a sudden insight I started using it occasionally to quiet my superior oblique myokymia (twitch behind one eye). I paid several hundred dollars to a specialist for that diagnosis, so I'm darned sure going to use the term! I'm pretty happy with the 10% solution: it does sting a little for about 30 seconds after use, which makes me leery of upping the concentration. Part of my pre-bedtime routine is to sit quietly and read. By that point in the day my eyes are often tired, watering, and burning. A little of that solution clears it right up. I was particularly pleased to see it can be used for tinnitus, as I have a constant squeal (plus occasional, other "special effects") going on in the background. I've started experimenting with DMSO for the tinnitus, too. I never imagined the unintended consequences of COVID! I was always a skeptic regarding alternative medicine, and "followed the science." Science now serves monopoly, and isn't completely trustworthy. I wouldn't have arrived at this point without the pandemic, so I guess sometimes there are blessings from treachery and tragedy.
Thanks AMD! Read your original writing on DMSO, got some…shared with many others too. Just wanted to let you know I used it on a surgical wound from dermatologist on my ear and wow…it really has helped it heal fast. It itches and tingles a bit as you said it might but great and no infection. Also used it on my golf elbow and that helps too as I play 6 days a week being retired at 72. Then, after reading this one from you, I used it on a tooth extraction site and seems to be helping but even better, I tried a little 70% on a que tip inside each nostril before bed to see if it would help nighttime congestion. Interesting that I get no itch or tingles from inside my nostrils…maybe due to the mucus? Well, anyway, I wear a sleep tracker ring and my oxygen level and oxygen drops have significantly improved and I am sleeping in longer periods without waking up so often! I am amazed and tried to find some research that would help explain these improvements. I found some research on sleep patterns in rodents but difficult to understand. I just wanted to let you know and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I will continue my experiment and so far every night it has improved sleep data. Fascinating as it must be effecting my brain as well as sinuses 😜.
Topical DMSO is helping all the arthritis in my body. Recently, the newly replaced right shoulder started giving me sensations like a tens machine (along the scar). It made that stop too. The skin on my face is softer even though I don't put it there. I'm going to explore the resources on taking it internally! Thank you
[someone else] I once burned my hand on a very hot skillet and a neighbor put DMSO on it. Within minutes it was as if I had never been burned.
[poster] That happened to me yesterday.
Also, I dropped the edge of a washing machine on my wife's finger, it went behind her fingernail down to the bone. She soaked it in DMSO on for 3 min. It healed completely in 1 week, on bruise or scar & no nail loss.
This is such a helpful article! My husband is the one you quoted about using DMSO on our daughter with Down Syndrome...let me tell you, even in the time since he made that comment, we have seen changes in our little girl. The biggest one is that she is now CRAWLING-she had seemed for the longest time like she wasn't even interested, but now she's doing it (she started on her 2nd birthday, in fact!). And her coordination and motor skills are steadily improving as well. She is super close to sitting up on her own, something I was getting really worried about. There have been many other small improvements, and it's almost like she's not even the same kid she was two weeks ago. I write a blog here in Substack about raising a DS kid as naturally as possible, and this is going to give me PLENTY to write about. I am so grateful for your articles about it, and I am so excited to keep learning and seeing what's possible! Thank you so much!
We started out applying it topically with a roll-on, but we've since moved on to putting it in her milk at the end of the day. My completely non-professional opinion on the autism symptoms is that it probably would help, since it seems to do so much for brain health.
My husband worked out how much to give her by taking the amount an adult would receive, and reducing it proportionally for how little she is. I think right now he's doing .3 ml daily. Initially we were also using capsules that were a blend of amino acids (breaking down the capsules and giving her a much smaller dose), but we've moved on to a Selenium blend and another one with Folate, some B-vitamins, and Trimethylglycine
At first we just used Max-Amino Caps, which is a blend of a whole bunch of different aminos. It's by a brand called Country Life, and he found it at our local health food store. Now we're using a Super Selenium Complex (which also has Vitamin E) and a TMG Complex, which has B-vitamins, Folate, and Trimethylglycine. Everything we are using he has either found on Amazon or at the health food store. He also found the DMSO at the DMSO Store on Amazon.
DMSO is incredible. I suffered two weeks in bed with a back injury...and rose up and walked two hours after applying DMSO. I also have used DMSO many times to treat serious burns...every one of them healed quickly, and with significantly reduced pain. I crushed the cartilage in my right ear by accident, applied DMSO, and the wound was healed in three days, without scars. I have experienced no side effects other than the characteristic odor after use. It should be in widespread use.
This was an email I received from a reader of this newsletter:
Thanks for the interesting article. What is the optimal way to apply dmso topically? Just rubbing in a liberal amount, using a saturated cloth and let it sit there or rubbing the saturated cloth over the desired area? I recall using it once years ago, it was given to me by the gym owner but I forgot how I applied it. It worked instantly and my rotator cuff tendinitis resolved after one application. It was truly amazing.
This was an email I received from a reader of this newsletter I edited to remove identifying information:
When I first moved to [redacted] to get married, 40 years ago, I had my first bladder infection ever. I went to a doctor recommended by the school nurse. He treated me with DMSO- THE UTI disappeared. And did not reappear for a couple of years. Unfortunately, that doctor retired 38 years ago. since then I’ve been to see several of urologists none of whom even seemed to have heard of it. I’ve been suffering from UTIs and IC for 30+ years. I finally got saw a doctor in [redacted] who treated me with long term multiple antibiotics which ended up with my being resistant to most. He finally gave up on me. I am now on a search for a new FP and urologists….long story.
I was wondering if you know of any urologists in the [redacted] who are familiar with DSMO? Is there a way I can get hold of it? Apparently according to the latest urologist, I don’t have any UTIs but do have Interstitial cystitis.
Do you have a booklet with the information on DMSO which I could share with urologists?
Thanks for taking time for reading this and also for your research on DMSO
I know this is an old post but I felt compelled to respond since I, too, suffered from chronic UTI's until recently. Every dr I went to wanted me to go to a urologist but I have lost all confidence in allopathic medicine due to several bad experiences (plus the plandemic put a nail in that coffin for me, also). I was able to finally rid myself of chronic UTI's by taking courses of doxycycline on and off and drinking water treated with Chlorine dioxide (used to purify water in camping). Midwestern Dr talks about CWD in this recent post and I truly believe that was my problem and why the UTI's kept reoccurring.
It took a while using doxycycline and I had to treat myself repeatedly for yeast infections but I am finally rid of the UTI's. I would be willing to try DMSO internally, though, if they were to return. I wish I could give you a good source to purchase doxycycline. I bought several bottles of it from online vet suppliers until the FDA shut that down (grrrrr). This is the chlorine dioxide I used.
This was an email I received from a reader of this newsletter:
Thank you, thank you! Amazing research. Plan to share.
I remember my brother telling me about a coach he had for football in high school (35+ years ago) who told his players with minor aches and pains to dip their limbs into a bucket of liquid that he kept on the field. My brother believes this was DMSO.
I’m a personal trainer and a nutritionist and I’ve been using DMSO in my therapies for myself and my clients for as long as I can remember. Over the last year, I blew out every ligament and tendon around both of my kneecaps. Because of the use of DMSO and organic castor oil I completely healed myself. My knees are better than before, I am a 66-year-old woman who has been in physical fitness, my entire life running biking, etc. so my knees are greatly used and very important to my body. I have been doing my own research and study on healing personally and without any positions medication’s or therapies from the western world, I personally haven’t seen a physician since 2014 which I only went because it was a friend who was the doctor and she needed patience. I haven’t been on any medication or any type of synthetic since 2009. I’m originally an orthopedic trained nurse and ended up being an orthopedic x-ray technician, I saw the damage the doctors were doing and followed them and was kicked out of nursing school because I refused to get a vaccine. If you need help researching and collaborate, I’d love to get CBD store for five years to really get into the herbal health of life, which is another reason why I’ve done so well, I’m all about health and fitness and wellness without the western medical community at all in my life. If people will read the cares act, they will understand that it wasn’t about health insurance. It was about taking physicians off of the Hippocratic oath so they can treat you with symptoms and no conditions, I suggest everyone read the bill.
Hello Dr, at the outset, I wish to thank you profusely for producing such a comprehensive and thorough substack on DMSO. Several tens of thousands if not millions will benefit from your work.
I have used DMSO with CBD oil for cancer (to alleviate neuropathic pain from adverse effects from chemotherapeutic administration as well as metastasis). I am currently experimenting with DMSO for severe neuropathic as well as muscular pain in a patient (F/75 with Hashimotos) with protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome (patient was on 2 long acting BZDs for over 8 years). I underestimated this condition - it has been extremely difficult to treat and I have had to take an extensive vertical and horizontal look at therapeutics because the it does not receive any attention in a mainstream clinical setup. Psychiatrists, neurologists and others all informally acknowledge the problem but don't want to record it as a diagnosis. Your substack gave me the idea to try DMSO based on some clinical case studies as well as observational evidence.
Thank you Doc. If you ever get a chance, please do cover Benzodiazepine Withdrawal.
I have degenerative in my lumbar/sacral spine. Pain and stiffness was incredibly easy to trigger the last year. I had to be very careful even taking a shower as any hyperextension at all would punish me for the next several days. I went through PT, started using a sit/stand desk at work, and was very careful about any activities I undertook. I started using DMSO (70/30) topically and it helped. I eventually transitioned to using MSM instead. I use MSM granules that I purchase through an online store called Mountain Well-Being (they use a four-step distillation process). I boil filtered water and dissolve 1.5 tsps of the granules and drink it twice/day. Within two weeks, my pain and stiffness had completely resolved and I am no longer limited in what I am physically able to do. It has really made a huge difference for me.
I'd like to share my success with DMSO and would like to thank you for your articles which helped me wrest back control of my own health.
I've beat Hodgkin's Lymphoma twice over the last 9 years. I don't do doctors and hospitals. The first time I went in to one of those little standalone clinics, unable to breath with intense chest and heart pain coughing up endless strings of mucous. My stamina was gone to the point just walking from the car to the house would exhaust me and I'd have to sit for a breather. I assumed pneumonia or something but it became clear it might be something else when the Dr at the urgent care clinic kept looking back at me nervously from across the clinic where else was examining the X-rays.
They diagnosed me with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which they now simply call Hodgkins Disease they said, mediastinal up next to my heart. The tumors were closing my airway making it hard to breath. They sucked me into the system as quickly as I could procure health insurance. I hemhawed for a bit procrastinating and trying to research alternatives. Someone shipped in a ton of Rick Simpson oil, I ordered my Norwalk Juicer and started shopping organic produce for juicing and got my essiac tea brewing. I had quit smoking the second I walked out of the clinic and buckled down for some major lifestyle changes as I tried to make sense of conventional medicine and alternative medicine both claiming the other route would kill you.
In the end, I did everything, half a year of chemo, massive amounts of curcumin, Simpson oil once in a while when I could handle being bedridden stoned, juicing, essiac tea etc... I opted out of the followup radiation since insurance said the wouldn't cover localized and left the oncologist with my 100% remission badge and sensitive gag reflex from the ABDV drip.
About four years later, after sinking comfortably back into my normal habits and vices, I began to feel some of my original symptoms returning. Chest and heart pains at first, but I wasn't sure if they were phantom until they worsened. Slowly over months it grew, my breathing began to close off again, I was generating excess mucus, complete lack of stamina just trying to walk and go through normal motions and those strange sticky night sweats returned that plagued me the first time. If I passed out for five minute and woke back up I would be drenched in a slippery mucus like sweat.
I tried to ignore the obvious and dove back into researching alternative methods of healing myself. I recommited myself to a healthy lifestyle, quit smoking again haha, and started cutting out processed foods. I began juicing turmeric and simmering it down with its pulp, coconut oil and pepper for curcumin I could afford, started brewing the essiac and pulled out the old box of Simpson oil to give it another shot to try and get ahead of it but it was too advanced again and escalating.
Feeling at a loss and unable to breath, one day after work I drove myself to the hospital where they kept me for four days. They said I had a tumor the size of my heart, next to my heart that was putting the pressure against my airways, making it hard to breath and causing the chest pain. After about a month I was finally able to procure health insurance again and I got sucked back through the system quickly. This time they wanted to use a more aggressive chemo, and once they had eliminated the tumor they planned to kill all the bone marrow in my body with another aggressive chemo and then try and regrow it using my stem cells which they would try and obtain after healing a bit from the initial tumor blasting round. I refused and got them to agree to a weaker chemo/immunotherapy combination.
This time I went on for over a year in the infusion room. The tumor was long gone as they always seemed to disappear quickly from the initial treatment. We were going month to month, occasionally doing CT scans and PET scans as insurance would allow. The CT scan would always show a "hot spot" which would require a more thorough PET scan of course. The PET scan would confirm "hot spots" that made the doctors unsure, and more treatment would be deemed necessary.
After a while of this I developed neuropathy in my hands, feet and face as a result from the immunotherapy. I was off the chemo by now. They told me there is no such thing as remission when you have recurring lymphoma and that I would have to be treated for life. They said they had patients who had been on this immunotherapy for 10+ years and not to worry despite my trying to explain this horrible numbing pain I was feeling (I now know is neuropathy) as well as the hives I was beginning to get.
I did a job for a neurologist who's son was also a podiatrist. We had a quick chat about chemo induced neuropathy and they informed me that despite what I was reading online it can in some instances be reversed with the activated prescription versions of some b and k along with alpha lipoic. I took the news to my oncologist to ask him about it and he got a little short with me. He denounced the vitamins saying that there isn't a cure, there are no studies about these, but they could treat the symptoms with more medications that had actual scientific studies backing it, Gabapentin in this case. This was during COVID now and I'm sure the doctors were getting quite tired of patients asking about alternative treatments. As I sat in my infusion chair I looked up and found all the studies on pubmed backing up what the neurologist had told me. That was it for me. I walked and called myself cured and decided to go all in on the health nut angle. The tumor had been gone for a year and these "hot spots" he informed me after some questioning could just be inflammation, from something I ate. Could be anything really they said... but here's some gabapentin, buck up soldier.
Now almost four years later again, after a particularly nasty job, all five of my telltale symptoms returned ferociously, suddenly this time. Within a week I had intense chest pain, my body swelled up, my lymph under my left arm and down by my left hip. The nightsweats returned, endless mucus out of my mouth and nose and my breathing began to close back off. At this point I already felt much more confident that I could manage my health through lifestyle changes. We had weeded out most processed foods, we're shopping at the farmers market, eating locally raised meat, eggs, dairy. We're making l reuteri yogurt to try and repopulate some healthy gut bacteria and drinking copious amounts of various teas from an arsenal of herbs in the pantry, as well as growing our own medicinal herbs. The symptoms came on quick though and continued getting worse.
Enter DMSO. I had already read over a few of your articles and finding your index made short work of the remaining DMSO literature. It was quite compelling and I was sold on giving it a shot. I ordered the 24/24mg iver/fenben combo from TWC and grabbed some DMSO from one of your recommended sources. After patch testing full strength on my wrist I decided I was one of the luck folks that could handle full strength so the next day I opened up a pill, stuck it in a mortar with some reverse osmosis water and ground it up with some DMSO and a little castor oil to plaster it over the spot over the pain where my tumor always was.
Boy oh boy, I was not one of the people who could handle 100% strength haha. At least not there. The nerves began firing off and it became more and more intense until I had to wash it off. The only comparison I have is it felt the same as when I had shingles on my side years ago. Just a steady sharp burning, increasing in intensity.
I started stepping back and trying different strengths until I found one I could manage. In the meantime I started drinking a teaspoon of DMSO, once a day at night as I took my iver/fenben pill. I put the DMSO mixture in a spray bottle and simultaneously began spraying 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide and then topping it with DMSO over the painful area on my side and chest.
I noticed that whether I drank it, sprayed it or did both, within a matter of minutes the pain in my chest would disappear. Encouraged by the instantaneous results I kept at it and stuck to a routine. I did 5 days on two days off. At the same time I kept up the essiac tea, which has a few chelating herbs and the the anti tumor herb, as well as other teas. Mainly but not limited to a dandelion root, clove, turmeric, ashwaganda, passionflower, Sarsaparilla, cinnamon blend we've been mixing up that we dubbed "ambrosia" and then a daily cup or two of Justicia Secunda, St John's Bush (not wort), which apparently can boost blood counts and is packed with iron.
One month in and all symptoms were gone except for the chest pain which was diminishing, and a slight cough. Gradually so hard to be sure but I was noticing it less and less. I can raise my arms over my head and bend over/lay down without my breathing being cut off again. I don't plan on obtaining insurance and visiting the hospital again. At this point, I feel quite comfortable that I can manage this myself as we continue removing all the toxins from our home. Clothing, cookware, water, food etc...
Thank you much for your efforts at making this information easily accessible.
This is a fantastic case. You showed everyone that cancer isn’t just something to “go through” — it’s something you fight head-on. You didn’t just go along for the ride, you kicked this thing’s ass.
That said, don’t let up. These cancers can adapt and turn aggressive fast, especially once they’ve been hit a few times. Two things I’d keep in play here:
1) Keep working your DMSO/H₂O₂ over the spleen. Think of that as the fortress — the command center for immune defense.
2) If you haven’t already, dig deeper into autophagy — how to get into it, how to sustain it, and which supplements or compounds boost it versus inhibit it.
From what you’ve shared, I’m guessing you already have a handle on that. But it’s worth emphasizing: early lymphomas are very sensitive to autophagy, and the ones that survive conventional treatment often *use* autophagy to stay alive. If your go-to treatments stop hitting like they used to, this might be the lever to pull next.
Thanks, great advice. I'm going to start targeting the spleen specifically.
On autophagy, when I'd get to day 3 I'd get extremely sick for up to a week. It was quite debilitating. I started following Perry Nickelston's lymph draining dry brushing techniques to try and get my lymph unblocked and clearing out the sludge more efficiently. Then going to jump back on the autophagy train, hopefully with a little less pain.
I just re-read your comment. Waking up slowly haha. My attempts at inducing autophagy were simply from trying a 72 hour or more fast. When you say sustained autophagy, are you referring to a fast induced autophagy or maintaining a diet that can sustain autophagy long term?
I've seen a couple articles saying there are certain foods like avocados and fruits for instance that won't break autophagy, but haven't wrapped my head around it quite. That only makes sense certain supplements would work the same way, boosting or inhibiting, thanks for that.
[I received a comment saying DMSO greatly helped a brain bleed and cancer so I asked them over DM for a clarification and received this]
My partner,7 5, came here to Idaho for ski season on Feb, 2025. Although he was able to ski, I felt something was wrong. He had lost weight and not quite right. The day he was to fly back to Germany, he fell in my house and was unable to get up without help.. I managed to get him up, into the truck, and to the emergency room.
Catscan revealed an 8cm gioblastoma above the front of his brain almost all of it on his right side of center. He was life flighted out. Diagnosis next day at hospital with additional MRI confirmed findings size, tumor with slow bleeding inside tumor. His children wanted a biopsy which identified the gioblastoma inoperable located mostly on his right, side of top of brain. Surgeon said chemo might extend life by a few weeks.
Things advanced quickly. He was labeled aphasia. He comprehended but was unable to speak. On his 3rd day in Itensive care I got him PT and with help from 2 men was ble to stand and sit in chair for a period of time and repeated back in bed.
Next day late afternoon he was moved to the brain surgery ward. I noticed his right side was almost completely paralyzed. He was responsive (not verbally) and aware (German speaker no English). I was panicking about him living the last 3 weeks paralyzed in a foreign land, frightened and volunteered for hospice. I had been familiar with antiparasitics and cancer. At the beginning I actually found the info on NIH http://pb.med sites.
I had recently seen an old Mike Wallace sr interview of a univ of Oregon doc who had discovered a number of benefits of dmso in repair of nerves, pain reduction, and stopping brain bleeds. In addition, prior to this emergency, I discovered on x that dmso converts cancer cells back to normal cells by changing the positive charge of a cancer cell to negative. At that moment I had accepted that he would die quickly. I just wanted him to die without fear and panic. Note he had no pain throughout this ordeal.
I had a jumper horse late 70s and remembered I got dmso for rubbing on a bowed tendon injury. I quickly drove to a farm supply store and purchased 99 percent dmso, Panacur (Fenbendazole) and ivermectin 1.87. Note during Covid I used ivermectin weekly and it available to my employees if they wanted. Never even had a cold for 3 years. It didn’t kill me or make me sick.
It was evening and told Lothar I was massaging him but actually was pouring dmso into the palm of my hand drenching his feet legs, arms, neck forehead and temples init hoping would hep with the slow bleed in the tumor and help the situation until he died in three weeks. I put a good 1 1/4” sqirtofivermectin and Fenbendazole in pudding and fed it to him. I went to a hotel when asleep.
When I returned mid morning the next day he had movement in his right side which improved enough that the following day i could sit him up in bed and he was able to painstakingly feed himself. He still had some confusion. Each day I did the same thing withe the “meds”.
I did not think the anti parasitics were causing this sudden and miraculous change as I found that results from them take about 2 months. Each day he improved. On the fourth day our friend visited him and found him trying to stand up and grab the chair to use the bathroom for a bowl movement. (The nurses in that ward tried to insert a catheter when he got there, couldn’t get it in, removed it to straighten and inserted the same catheter a second time. I worried about infection.) The nurses did not assist him to use toilet. My poor [redacted].
Will finish rest of info in separate response
Quick ending within a week he was sitting up communicating with google translate with my friend. He laughed at funny things. He had hunger, fed himself, watch vid on laptop. Nurses would not help with bathroom. Physical therapy stood up with help from therapist and did a turn and sit in wheelchair. Sat for awhile no prob to get ready for transition to my home. Eating 3x per day feeding himself the 2 handed European way.
Ever day at my house improvement. His kids came and he needed someone to shave and bed bath him. He would use the toilet chair but could not know beginning ending of a bm for at least another week. As hi strength improved he could use his own strength to get up, we steadied. Balance was poor. Improvement very noticeable during after the 3rd week of diagnosis.
I kept up with the meds as I had done in the hospital. He was out of bed to eat table 3times per day within 3 weeks. By beginning 4th week I was bringing him to sit on porch in son. I was worried about uti and the hospice nurse. She didn’t think it was important. By the of the 4th week he could stand without help and use walker to go on porch. 5th week he would walk around yard with walker and follow me to where I would feed the cattle. In the house he walked without the walker. His verbal and cognitive ability improved enough that he would talk on phone with friends, play his beloved solitaire on his phone and some workbook cognitive exercises for elderly. He could watch tv by then. I had the catheter removed and he walk to and from bathroom, shower, shave etc.
I bought a walker with 8 inch wheels for walking in forest. He was able to do that.
By around 55 day he git a high fever fell and his head. I had him brought to emergency. Diagnosis uti that went into antibiotic resistant bacteria. New catscan no brain bleed and all 5-6 other comparisons showed decreased.
The whole time he got dmso, ivermectin, Fenbendazole every day. I found out later from Dr Peter Korres flccc website that Fenbendazole does not cross blood brain barrier. From a 90 year old naturopath Doc near Boise I got a gioblastoma treatment that he imported from Germany in the 70s or 80s. They don’t make it anymore. I added that about the 2nd week.
He died within 2 weeks of the diagnosis. He was released from the hospital within 3 days of sepsis diagnosis. I believe sepsis is what killed him. I might add that I believe the dmso may have corrected varicose veins since leg selling stopped during this time.
I have the access to the medical files testing etc
So info you requested is above, Surgeon gave him 3 weeks to live. I have access to records if the info about dmso seems interesting
I responded to you about DMSO and my experience with cancer and brain bleed. I hope you actually read this because I think it will save lives
Stage 3 colorectal cancer, I am taking 30mg Ivermectin and 750mg of Fenden per day. I’ve added Methylene Blue Ultra which contains DMSO. My cancer marker dropped from 124.8 to 41.5 and my tumor shrank from 5.4cm to 3.5cm in 6 months. In September I couldn’t even walk to the bathroom without help.
Now I’m working at the farm and going back to full time work on 4/21, I am a Brick Mason to give “work” a full perspective.
I use dmso every day! Combined with colloidal silver I instill several drops in each eye twice daily. My Opthamologist actually told me I cured my Blepharitis!
Curious as to what you use in the drops. I've been making drops from l Acetyl Carnosine, MSM, and DSMO to get rid of cataracts. It's been working really well although progress has been slow.
I have a diabetic dog that went blind from cataracts and have been giving him DMSO eye drops and it has cleared most of his eyes up and he can see again !
I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in both my thumbs. Was looking at a complicated surgery. I healed that arthritis with CBD cream and DMSO. It does work.
I am a family doctor in Houston and a nurse I work with had a friend who had chronic neck pain since a car wreck at age 19. She is 55 years old now and had a neck surgery to relieve the pain in August this year which did not help. I applied the DMSO 70% gel to her neck and the pain was 100% gone in 1.5 hours. She has been using daily since and has been pain free for a month now. Amazing!!!!
I am a veterinarian and this past month I have a client whose dog is suffering from vasculitis, secondary to Rocky Mountain Spotted fever infection. The dog developed punctate lesions in the bottom of all the pads of the feet and one morning she awoke to find the foreleg black from pooled blood. She knew of DMSO from her equine days and began applying it. The lesions on the pads have healed up and the purpura on the leg was resolved in 24 hours. To us it is a miracle!
Your articles motivated me to finally bite the proverbial bullet and take a much higher dose (still not as high as I could) than I have been taking (since 2022) to get faster results, and my goodness it has been amazing in more ways than I can list!
Finding that the majority of “diseases” I have fall into the box of things it treats.
I probably should have considered that we were going into the holidays and I would smell worse than I already do, but I didn’t and everyone I see has to reap the consequences 😂
*I did find that though you had many reports of improved sleep, it was not the case for me. If I take the higher dose at night before bed, I fall asleep, but in about an hour I woke up alert and ready to go. Staying awake for several hours. Since one of the diseases is Myasthenia Gravis, I’m thinking it increases my acetylcholine and I feel better again… not sure if that makes sense but it does improve cognition, exhaustion etc from the depletion of acetylcholine. Since I no longer take prescription drugs for it, it’s quite noticeable. Better than the pyridostigmine I use to take 6x/day!
I hope it’s also repairing the damage from this disease and from the TIA’s & head trauma that damaged my brain. I don’t want to have to use it forever, but I will if I have to.
Because of Midwestern Doctor's articles, I've been experimenting with DMSO for several months now. I have a spondylolisthesis in my low back where L4 has shifted 20% forward over L5 from an injury five years ago. This has caused severe stenosis and basically the spinal nerves from that area are severely impinged, causing a spectrum of pain (from intense aching to a searing sensation of flesh tearing away from bone) throughout my hips and sacral area as well as persistent sciatica in one, or sometimes both, legs.
I've been using DMSO (99.995 pure, undiluted) topically throughout my sacral area, then also on my hips, then lately on my calves (that would ache after exercise). The DMSO reduced my perceptions of pain considerably. I carefully reread all the articles about dosing and non-toxicity and thought maybe if I use more, I can eliminate the pain entirely.
I increased the frequency (to every four hours, up from once or twice a day) and the volume (from roughly one tablespoon to 2-4 tablespoons applied topically). I could not eliminate the pain completely, but after a few days, there was this amazing side effect.
A minute or two after applying the DMSO I had this unanticipated erection, I mean a raging hard-on. Mind blowing. I'm a 75-year old male with no ED problems, but having so much pelvic pain, I haven't had, nor thought about sex for a long time. I wasn't having any stimulating thoughts, I was just going through my self-medication routine and... boing!
Ever since then (last week), every time I apply an extra large dose, I experience this effect. I suspect that DMSO's enhancement of blood flow might be at work here. Plus, all the nerves that go to my genitals are compromised by impingement, so maybe DMSO helped them out. Also, I've noted a psychological effect, more calm and serene. I can attribute that to "I feel better not being in so much pain," though there may be a physiological component to the emotional uplift.
I started having burning thigh pain in late August of last year. I saw a chiropractor for 8 visits and she thought it was piriformis. It didnt go away. On my way back from Thanksgiving vacation, the flight was unbearable. I was still able to walk and drive “ok.” But, it just kept getting worse. I saw a PT who introduced me to the McKenzie method. It helped, but after three weeks, it still didnt get better.
i finally got an MRI and a musculoskeletal dr said its herniated, and to take celebrex w/gabapentin. I prayed and then saw Dr Kiory’s tweet with your article as my husband was coming back from the pharmacy. I immediately ordered dmso from the store you posted in your article, and I hope it works. I get it tomorrow. I finished reading Back Mechanic. I will not do surgery. That dr tried to schedule me, but from past surgery experience, its too risky, and theres a lot of room for error and just more pain.
Im glad to hear its been helping you. Its been a long road, and I truly hope this helps heal my back, glutes, and thigh.
Here’s what I know about DMSO. My mother (100 yrs old) fell three weeks ago. When she fell, she broke her nose and fractured a couple of orbital bones-one around each eye-which resulted in terrible bruising due to her blood thinner medication. She spent 6 days in the hospital and my sister and I visited her everyday. Each time, my sister would apply DMSO cream to her facial bruises. Due to this fall, her bruises were almost black the first day. The 2nd day, they were dark purple. The 3rd day it was just remarkable-her bruises were starting to fade! Going from purple to that greenish yellow that we’ve all seen. Three weeks later, she barely has any bruising left. All of this is because of that DMSO cream. DMSO is a solvent, so if you are trying to remove blood from your vitreous fluid, I would suggest following what that Dr recommended. Be sure to dilute accurately.
I purchased DMSO for my mother-in-law. She has used it ~4 weeks and it is helping her plantar fasciitis pain (along with exercises and a wrap/brace). Beyond that, she looked it up and started using it on her knee-replacement knee - seeing significant swelling reduction. Varicose veins dramatically reduced in size. Arthritic hands/joints less swollen—can wear her rings again and no pain. Uses on neck: neck pain and headache reduced. She had a brain aneurysm 7 years ago, we’ll see if she notices a difference in cognition and brain fog as time goes by. She’s a big fan now!
Best of all though is she was listing all this to my husband (and I have shared some anecdotes from your articles), and finally one night he dared me to rub it on his head. I did so and all of a sudden he got real quiet and a funny look appeared on his face. His mom told him it tingles, but that would go away. He got up and left the room. Ten minutes later he came back and asked how long ago since I rubbed it on him. Then he said, “I taste it in my mouth, but my bad headache and neck pain is GONE! I am so relaxed and mellow right now.” He was laughing in relief.
He has near constant neck/head pain and his migraines have been getting so bad he broke down recently and very reluctantly started taking a pill. I had no idea this would work as well as it has for him. I feel I have witnessed a miracle! Thank you so much!!
I’ve been using Dr. Jacob’s 25% DMSO for about a week now for a rather persistent asthma irritation I was undergoing along with almost constant heart palpitations which came out of nowhere, could be caffeine related. I’ve just been slathering a bit over my chest area, but is there a certain amount of gel to use for good effect? What is too much gel on the skin? I’ve been using probably two quarter-sized amount on my chest area and have felt a marked improvement to my asthma! To where I went from using my inhaler more than I have in awhile and taking quercitin(recommended by my naturopath) with very little relief to now using nothing but DMSO and feeling like my chest has opened entirely and I can take entire deep breaths! I went on a walk this morning and cruised up rather steep hills without barely any increase in my respirations! That never happens. Usually I’m huffing and puffing and my chest is super tight. The palpitations have also disappeared. I have noticed however, that the best relief comes from applying it in the morning after a shower and at night before going to bed. It seems the two doses help best. Will asthma be ever “cured” with DMSO, or will I have to keep doing this the rest of my life? Has it been shown to actually resolve asthma have you seen in your research?
I just wanted to say thank you for these articles. I mean really everything. I’ve subscribed for quite a while now. You provide such value to us.
Wanted to share that two days ago, I pulled a muscle in my hip while wrestling my dog into the bath. Since reading these articles, I had purchased some DMSO and had success treating fire ant bites with it. (The venom really eats away at the skin and takes forever to heal)
I immediately applied it to the affected area, later I mixed it with curcumin and PEA. two applications of that mixture and my pain was gone. I have been doing red light therapy as well, but that was a very powerful reaction feeling the pain melt away.
I was using DMSO in the 80's for severe back pain. I had to get it bootlegged out of Mexico because my Government preferred that I had no quality of life and had outlawed it's use here.
My husband is a young 92 year old and after reading your article bought DMSO with small glass dropper bottles. 70/30 with distilled water or caster oil. In less than a month the calcification in his knuckles has reduced and a bad sore on his leg has nearly disappeared. He now is working on veins and heart op scars. A new man! So grateful that you have put the effort into educating us.
I've been using DMSO on animals for 30+ years, couldn't do without it. There was always a rumour it was dangerousto humans, but this suggests that might be bunk....
I LOVE DMSO. Miracle product. Use with other products for acceleration such as with castor oil and other essential oils. Used for Dental treatments, skin infections, and more. Recommended to my friend a cancer patient to drive anti-cancer treatments into cells where needed. Ive only touched the tip of the iceberg of what DMSO can do. It’s a very excitingfield of study!
If I already responded, this is just additional. My husband has quit using cbd gummies for pain, and now I just rub his back and shoulders. No question he's in less pain. And I've been putting it on my badly arthritic knees which are so bad getting up and down is difficult, and kneeling in church is out of the question! Until I tried it today! NO PAIN! kNEELING AGAIN! Oh, they still don't work well, but the PAIN is gone.
I just received DMSO last week from DMSOcanada and included with the bottle was 70% DMSO gel in a jar. My knees get some minor knee area aches from sitting too long and when I do a lot of walking. I think it is mostly muscular from lack of use. Ladders are now a bit of a challenge as the right knee seems on the verge of giving out sometimes. I spend long hours in front of a computer doing CAD work. So after spending 4 hrs on the lawn tractor and spending an hour picking up debris I smeared DMSO gel on the knee area and all the aching disappeared. I just put some on my wife's back area where she has a lot of pain following a spinal tap (generally she has used Melaluca's painatrate in the past). She is sleeping peacefully so will report on her reaction in a day or two. Looking good though.
My son suffers from debilitating, painful tinnitus, the doctors have no solution other than cognitive behavioural therapy (which doesn't work) - I am looking forward to find out about DMSO and tinnitus. I'll be doing some research myself in the mean time.
I was introduced to DMSO when I was taking care of my sick dog. Unfortunately he passed away too late, but that experience with him opened my eyes to the even more great travesties of the medical field.
Looking forward to learning more about this product but thanks for putting this out there.
Three weeks ago I developed a UTI , try hard to be seen by a doctor to no avail since nothing is an emergency anymore. The pain trying to urinate was unbearable and every time I did blood came out , so I started a Chlorine Dioxide protocol ( 20 ml of CDS in a litter of water divided into eight drinks which will be every 15 minutes) y added 3 and sometimes 5 drops of DMSO to each drink and amazingly after about the four glass of the solution the bleeding stopped and was able to pee without the excruciating pain. I continue to take the solution for a couple of days and then added vaginal douches with Chlorine Dioxide and I’m fine now , no pain or blood in the urine . DMSO is an amazing product and works great along CDS .
They'll study the shit out of DMSO to try to find issues but when it came to vioxx, it was killing people for years before the medical system could even stop it from being sold.
Notice how Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol has a very low number as it's hugely toxic. Why are they still promoting it in medicine? My neighbor got cirrhosis from 3 a day for her migraines. Yet it's still over the counter and pushed by medical morons.
They want to kill you. Vioxx is great for the muscle aches of (ordinary, not coronavirus) flu as it isn't antipyretic, so doesn't diminish immune response, but is dangerous if used for longer than 2 weeks at a time. Paracetamol seems to provide no benefits whatsoever, but plenty of downsides. They probably rip off insurance companies and their rate-payers immense amounts for liver transplants.
I've been using DMSO on horses since the 1970's. About 20 yrs. ago, I mixed DMSO with an anti inflammatory and applied it to my tennis elbow once every other day for 3 days. My tennis elbow, which had plagued me for weeks, went away. I never tasted garlic, but I did have a slight crash on my elbow that went away once I stopped using the solution. Now I use DMSO for sore muscles and arthritis. It's pretty much a miracle. My brother-in-law who is an anesthesiologist said it would never be marketed as a pharmaceutical because it was too inexpensive to manufacture.
I learned about DMSO during the plandemic and I have been using it since then to treat my rotator cuff which has been injured several years ago. I am working out normal with not pain . I use DMSO along with CDS .
AN ASIDE: about the vile PARASITES, the "parasitic class", blood sucking leeches and vampiric hordes who breed in government, corporate and financial cesspools.
Dear doctor, I am just struck by your ability to produce such a scholarly and timely body of work in such a short time. You are prolific in producing volumes of information that we desperately need to read at this crisis point in our country and the world. I am sure you might change a few minds that are not already completely sucked into the vacuum of the willfully ignorant, death derangement syndrome. But otherwise your information brings much hope to many of us, that we are not so far into the wilderness that we cannot find our way home. And by home, I mean a state of health and homeostasis, of understanding and a factual basis for what we believe founded in real experience. We desperately need authoritative and credentialed confirmation, and so it is that you arrived at this critical moment in history. Anytime sooner and your voice would have been flooded with the unbelieving and incredulous critiques. Anytime later and it would be too late.
AN ASIDE: I wish people would stop using such elevated terms as the "elites" and "the swamp" to describe these monsters and their habitat. They are vile PARASITES, the "parasitic class", blood sucking leeches and vampiric hordes which include the PMC and their millions of enablers and willfully ignorant , without whom these parasites could not do their violent dirty work. Rather than existing in a swamp, which is evidence of a healthy, self-regulating ecosystem, the parasites breed in a CESSPOOL where everything else is dead, and the worst shit rises to the top.
If the poor and victimized class would widely adopt these more accurate and descriptive terms, people may wake up to the fact that there is nothing clean and regenerative about these parasites whose only goal is worldwide control and dominion. But, the parasites must first destroy thousands of years of experience and culture and substitute it with a compliant, self-destructive death cult. This is what we are experiencing today, and most notably with the rise of the neo-racist, mysoginist, fascist WOKE mob and DEI advocates, whose only goal is to destroy and replace. It is no coincidence that the western governments are behind unlimited immigration, consisting mostly of young males of competing cultures, religions and ideologies and, coincidentally, most of whom are prone to violence.
Esteemed Dr., whereas I respect your position, I would like to ask for your consideration in this matter. You, yourself, have pointed out how the mainstream narratives define the terms of discourse, just as the Overton Window invisibly limits the range of discourse. These are very real barriers to open and critical discussion of the most important issues of our lives, and the lives of all generations to come. It is time to rip the mask off of these "genteeel elites" as they prefer to be called, and show the world, in every descriptive way, just what monsters they are.
By your reluctance to not name names of the perps at all levels of their crimes, you are self-editing and allow them to hide from accountability. Almost everyone, by now, knows the names of the big perps like Fauci, but there are millions of enabling perps hiding behind anonymity and genteel deference due to their respectable positions of power or their medical credentials. How about the names of the perps holding positions on state medical boards who relish punishing doctors like yourself for speaking truth to power? These are vampiric hoards of blood-sucking leeches that carry out the violence, yet remain hidden due to OUR tolerance.
Yes, it is yours and my tolerance which has gotten us into this mess in the first place. It is not "nice" they say, that we resort to crude analogies and definitions that correctly describe the depth of their moral corruption. The fact is there are no acceptable words that can describe the reality of their profound moral corruption. It is off the scale, far beyond our imaginations worst nightmares, coming at us like a freight train, and yet, we stand on the tracks like the proverbial deer in the headlights.
Repeat after me: PARASITES, PARASITIC CLASS, CESSPOOL OF SHIT, BLOOD-SUCKING LEECHES and VAMPIRIC HOARDS. It is time to introduce these words into the narrative, because they are honest, visceral and more accurately descriptive of these monsters. It is time that we gave these monsters a taste of their own medicine, even if it reeks of shit because that is exactly what they have been feeding us for millenniums. We do not have to force feed these alternative words, just introduce them little by little until people begin to connect the dots. Reject the use of words like “elites” and “the swamp” and replace them with “parasites" and “cesspool”. That alone will cause a shit storm of outrage, so to speak. Once these words stick, we are one step forward in exposing them.
If I use language that is too polarizing, far fewer people will read this, and I will hence only be preaching to a choir that already holds those views (at which point I can do a lot more to help the world by focusing on other areas besides this Substack).
My relative had a large tumor/no longer tumor resected from her lumbar spine. They had to sever a nerve and she's lost function to her bladder. I put her on D-HTX orally, and she applied it to her urethra and regained the ability to urinate without self catheterization.
I have stage 4 metastatic lung cancer. You likely would recommend Pemetrexed + Carboplatin and Keytruda. But D-Hematoxylin subcutaneous injections also work, with far less adverse effects.
And my tumors are 60% smaller than when diagnosed in 2022 as of my last CT Scan June 06, 2025.
The DMSO articles alone are worth the subscription price!!! I can confirm this is a game changer for herpes. I started to get a cold sore on Christmas morning and after applying 70% solution 3-4 times over 2 days it was completely gone. It never fully developed into blisters. This worked as well or better than Valtrex for me. Thanks for this wonderful information.
Of course. It’s actually just the liquid. I applied it with a cotton ball and it burned a little bit at first but subsided quickly for me. The itchy oh crap, here comes a cold sore went away almost immediately. I’m telling everyone about DMSO and MWD who will listen! What a blessing!
I ingested DMSO to treat hemorrhoids, and it largely fixed chronic constipation, which I've had since I can remember. Side effects: urgency to pee, poo being too soft, and gas. These three things seem to be related. Fix: combine DMSO with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). This firmed up the poo. Maybe the reason our poo is firm is because baking soda is in a lot of food? These side effects have largely disappeared. I don't take DMSO everyday. It's easy to overdose. Constipation is largely corrected. Ditto hemorrhoids. Knock on wood.
My adult son with Autism has had some kind of zits or sores on his backside for at least a year. Nothing we put on it got rid of them. But after reading your posts about DMSO, those sores are now almost gone. I'm so thankful they are finally going away.
You saved my brain in Nov 2024, after a brain hemorrhage. I had seen your post on DMSO and had bought a bottle, three weeks later, I had a brain hemorrhage after an ice bath. Your research, information and help allowed me to trust and use the DMSO. After three weeks, I had a followup scan which revealed remarkable improvement. Thank you DOC!!!!
I make DMSO/Honey mixtures from a google patent US7790928B1 which eliminates the side effects of DMSO (bad breathe, itching, sulfur smells from body odor) and give it away free to friends in 2 oz brown spray bottles. It gives them a first step into medical freedom for themselves.
Thanks for the great article on . dmso. I’ve been a big fan of DMSO since the start of my career in anesthesia in 1980. I started using it mixed with Lidocaine on my patients with arthritis with great results. My personal use started 3yrs ago for back pain so far so good. I mix the dmso with cbd cream for good results. I have not taken it orally yet.
Just started using it.. almost 2 weeks now... eyes are less blurry. Feel like it's improving eye sight. Don't use glasses.. need to start measuring distance for near sight blurriness to track. Stings for couple times of using it.. less than a min.
Been using DMSO & Castor oil drops on & off for a few months. I have been having trouble seeing my computer screen & so I had stopped the drops. Yesterday I found a pair of 20 year old glasses & put them on. Viola - I could see so much better! The drops were actually working!
I have been using this for over a year now for chronic back and neck pain due to herniated discs......I can't believe how much it helps and allows me to continue to play golf as well as day to day activities! I have been recommending it to everyone!
I very much enjoy following you. I am 72 years old. Was a widow at age 65 and 2 years later married a man from Alaska. Great life on a lake here until March when I tore both rotator cuffs. The doctor thinks I injured them painting the interior of my house. I did therapy and DMSO instead of surgery. Pretty much recovered, but am still gaining strength back.
I'm currently using DMSO and distilled water in a nebulizer treatment and its done wonders for my breathing issues [COPD, was a smoker for 30+ years and has asthma most of life]. Been doing this for nearly 4 weeks now and I no longer feel the need to use daily so I'm cutting back to every other day.
When I worked at Medical Research Institute we used it to topically carry drugs into the skin of rats. If you are wearing makeup and put it in it will carry that into your body. It has its uses. By professionals.
The research involved severing the spinal chords of rats and using DMSO to carry Coenzyme Q10 to the injury where it would be healed. It was very promising.
Over a year ago I had an infection in my collar bone. I applied Arnica, Comfrey compresses, and castor oil with little success. Then I applied DMSO, 92% plus 8% Aloe Vera, and within hours and a few days, I noticed the swelling going down, the pain subsiding and joint movement in my shoulder vastly improving. Within 6-8 weeks, between applying the DMSO and organic Castor oil at least 3-4 times daily, I was self healed. It was a truly amazing experience. This all began with me following you, my most favourite midwestern doctor, to realize the magic that is DMSO. My husband had a small but inflamed and painful lump in his left breast. The doctors wanted him to have a mammogram. Utterly ridiculous! Instead he started applying DMSO with Castor oil and yes, within 6-8 weeks of daily topical treatment, the lump diminished, the pain was gone and even without applying the treatment, it continues to shrink. I had 2 separate friends develop lumps below their earlobes. Infections it seemed. I bought them DMSO and castor oil and you guessed it. The lumps disappeared. My appreciation for your wealth of information, freely shared your research with us is beyond words. You have made our lives all the better because of your selfless efforts to make us aware of how we can heal ourselves. thank you.
Guys in the old days used it for horses and call it horse linament. It soaks through skin, so it'll soak clothing dyes through skin if spilled. I talked with a guy who put tumeric on his skin and poured DMSO over it and it turned his arms orange for months but stopped the pain.
I’ve been using a DMSO, IVM liquid and chlorine dioxide mix to treat breast cancer. Amazingly the body pushes up the deeper layers of the lumps once the top layers are killed off. Also kills the connecting strands.
I was also told I had emphysema in the upper part of my lungs. I had 2 strokes due to a clogged left carotid. I had purchased DMSO to apply on my scar the scar diminished pretty quickly. I also rub rub it on my chest. Then I purchased a nebulizer, added 70/30 DSMO. Did the treatment everyday for a 1 week, now on maintenance a twice a weekly. This is how I cured my COPD. I also apply a drop to my ear to lessen the noise from tinnitus, it didn't get rid of it completely, but the noise went from 35 decibels to five, I can live with this. I also take it twice a week orally to deal with stomach issues which I alternate with CD. It's my go to miracle wonder.
Me: Many of the people who've shared an improvement in emphysema or asthma with me rubbed DMSO on the chest around the lungs.
I used a 70/30 mix into a medical nebulizer. The first week I used it everyday, then once a week for maintenance.
Gel scraped from the leaves of your aloe vera plants, or might you also use the type of aloe vera "juice" you can purchase at Natural Food markets, like this product linked below, thus eliminating the need to cut 10:1 DMSO to water? (And are you saying 10 parts DMSO to 1 part water, or is it the inverse?) Thanks doc.
So I’ve been having headaches since 1982, migraines, and they always start out on one side of the neck and shoulder, usually the right, but once in a while on the left and I have been taking zolmig for 29 years. It takes a while to kick in and I need an 800 ibuprofen with it, but it sometimes takes hours for it to go away. I use deep blue by doTERRA to just ease the pain. so two nights ago, I rubbed in the deep blue from my temple to my neck and shoulder, and then thought I’m gonna put DMSO on top of it on a cotton ball. I poured some on and just kind of rubbed it over the whole area went and laid down and lo and behold eight minutes later that pain was gone. First time in 29 years was it just a fluke? I don’t know. But I’ll try it again. But now after I read this, I thought, maybe that was a stupid thing to do. Because of the combination? Anyway, just letting you know.
I used your suggestion of DMSO for skin blemish that developed from irritation t on my nose due to cotinued mask wearing during COVID. I went to a dermatologist and he tried blue light therapy (essentially a skin peel) that did not work on this area, but did resolve some other blemishes. I have been using DMSO on this for 3 months now it has shrunk markedly and looks much better. Its not an overnight cure but is much smaller and almost resolved. I have also used it for a topical pain on my joints that occaisionally get inflammed. After just two days the pain is resolved. So you have turned me into a "believer". BTW when I read about DMSO my only other experinces with it was as a nice solvent in the chemical labs I also work in. I could not believe you recommended it for therapuetic remedies!
I wanted to share an incredible story regarding my neighbor’s foot condition.
Her foot was inflamed, red, and oozing. I took one look and said, “Barb, you need to see a dermatologist—now.” She replied that she had been going for two years. I was shocked.
I told her to clean it as best she could with soap and water, hydrogen peroxide, or whatever she had on hand. Then, I suggested she apply a small amount of Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP 0.1%, followed by DMSO, twice daily.
The results were astounding. After five days, none of us could believe the difference. And within ten days, it was completely gone. Now, she applies the treatment occasionally, especially when she feels stressed or anxious, fearing a recurrence. I can send photos from day one and day five—and I’d be happy to put you in touch with Barb if you’re interested.
As for me, I was originally prescribed Triamcinolone by my dermatologist, along with Valacyclovir HCL. I was told to take all four antiviral pills at once at the onset of symptoms. I filled the prescription but never took the Valacyclovir, concerned it might harm my microbiome.
I experienced flare-ups roughly every four months and treated them with Triamcinolone until they cleared. Then I tried a combination of DMSO and Triamcinolone for two weeks—even after the flare-up had subsided. Since then, I haven’t had a single recurrence.
For my eczema, I was prescribed a 0.5% Clobetasol solution. I used it in combination with DMSO. At my annual dermatology check-up (which I take seriously, as my brother passed away from melanoma), the doctor examined me and remarked, “That’s strange—your eczema appears to have gone away.” I didn’t tell him what I did.
Have been using topical DMSO for almost a month now, after reading your incredible research. (70% concentration in aloe gel.) I've been using the gel on the sun damage on my face, just dabbing it on with a cotton swab. The dark spots are getting smaller, and a couple have just flaked off altogether. The side bonus: My tinnitus has gone from 7/10 to 4/10. I'm going to start applying the gel directly to the skin behind my ears to see if there's further improvement.
My husband (very skeptical) used it topically on his hemorrhoids and reported a sifnificant reduction in size after the first application. He just needs to keep using it consistently.
Thanks so much for the deep dive on DMSO. You're changing lives for the better.
Thank you for your excellent work! I used DMSO mixed with a strong THC salve for my shoulder. Five years post surgery I was still dealing with pain - that combo fixed me up. It might have made me a bit more happy than previously- but that could be because now I can sleep and move without pain!
A friend whom I'll call Mateo was visiting from California. We met in a coffee shop, and as soon as he walked in I saw he was walking like Frankenstein, was so arthritic he could not turn his neck but had to move his whole trunk. So I told him about DMSO, and he came to my house to try it. I had him wash his neck with a washcloth, then demonstrated how I put DMSO on my own neck (didn't wash my hands after applying). Mateo splashed the DMSO on his palms and rubbed it into his own neck. Pretty quickly he complained of burning and tingling, so I took some olive oil (pure non-GMO) and rubbed it on on his neck - contact time of maybe 3-5 seconds. Within minutes, Mateo was surprised that he could move his head up and down and side to side - he was demonstrating this and then gave me a look of alarm. "You're breaking out in hives!" he said. I was. Without being aware, I had been scratching my palms, then noticed my feet were itching, then noticed my back was itching, plus my lips and my scalp and I was pretty much scratching everywhere. Obviously having an acute allergic reaction. So after taking benadryl and then prednisone, we were trying to figure out what I was allergic to - Mateo didn't have anything on his skin, and the bottle of olive oil I had used was half used by me...and then, without really thinking, I asked: "Hey Mateo, have you ever taken any of the Covid shots?"
A diagnosis of malignant melanoma treated with Chlorine Dioxide (CDS3000ppm)and 70/30 DMSO. I saw the Dermatologist on April 10th and she performed a shave biopsy on my ankle. Unfortunately it came back positive. I started treating it with Andreas Kalcker’s protocol K until the surgery on May 14th. I applied CDS3000 and let it dry and then applied DMSO twice a day. Below is the first biopsy showing melanoma to the peripheral margins and diagnosis in the deep margins, followed by the biopsy after surgery showing no sign of disease. I’m totally convinced this stopped the cancer in its tracks. The surgeon and the dermatologist had no answers to why there was no cancer in the second biopsy. I didn’t tell them I treated with CDS and DMSO.

Thank you for continuing to report on DMSO and its amazing uses. It has become a household staple at our home and my husband and I have effectively used it for a variety of ailments, but always externally. We’ve had some great successes and not noticed any change in others. My greatest success was the relief from painful spasms caused by neuropathy, and my husband’s was relief from painful arthritic joints. Thank you!
I recently tried 70% DMSO and tylenol for sciatica pain at bedtime that wouldn't quit even after much stretching. It worked within seconds. Thank you for these articles about DMSO. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
Thank-you. I have been using DMSO on my feet which have been in pain for 30 years due to high arches. It is weird when there is no pain. My girlfriend has plantar fasciitis and heel spurs for decades. She was amazed that there was no pain. I am preparing my stroke and heart attack kit.
In January eye checkup showed cataracts, early stage glaucoma and peripheral vision loss. Monday’s (July) follow up all in normal ranges! She said keep doing what I’m doing - castor oil, DMSO, pearl powder and NAC drops. Thanks!
Yesterday at the health club, I was talking with a retired horse veterinarian. He used DMSO on horses for 45 years.… He said that it is an incredibly potent anti-inflammatory, that there’s nothing else like it. He said he has also used it on his own aches & pains for most of his career
I have fuch’s dystrophy in both eyes but it’s worse in my right eye. I’ve been using it by rubbing my eyelids with a dmso on a Q-tip. I have less fluid leakage and I honestly can see a little better, not much but it’s only been a few days.
I slammed a window on my finger, immediately applied DMSO, and 1/2 hour later, I couldn’t remember which finger had been affected. Great also for a whack on the elbow. Obviously an excellent anti-inflammatory.
I use 40% DMSO eye drops for my macular degeneration and it brought my sight from 25/40 to 20/25. The university I go to thinks it is the shot in my right eye all of a sudden working after 4 months.
You must have the wet because you're having injections?
I cured my mum, over 25 years ago, of the dry type (which most who suffer with macular degeneration have) with dark greens (spinach), blueberries and lutein supplements.
2 years after being diagnosed, I told my son's eye specialist (he was born with a cataract) who replied: "She was probably misdiagnosed...".
I used it all the time as a teenager with juvenile arthritis. I told the pharmacist it was for a horse because that's the only way they would sell it to me. It relieved all my knee pain. Now turmeric with ginger Havasu brand takes away all of my body pain.
We used DMSO as a mainstay treatment for numerous conditions internally and externally on our very expensive show horses. In the equestrian world DMSO has a very long history of use.
Kudos to VF and Midwestern Doc. I started using the gel months ago, and there are so many things it just works immediately for, I won't bore you with a list. A major thing is pain, and it's not short of miraculous. One thing I have to do if I am using it over a sizable area of skin is put down some coconut oil first, otherwise I can get a pretty good rash if used for several days.
it is a fantastic chemical. I ve used it in my pain formulations to carry natural analgesics to the pain. I hope it doesnt get too much exposure. These crooked Phukks are liable to slap poison labels on it.
Years ago I had a slight tear in my rotator cuff. The old school doctor I went to told me to get some from the feed store and use it. It works. Only issue was once you rub it on, you can immediately taste it.
This stuff works great! I've been using it for months with no side effects except for some itching on more sensitive skin. I use it for plantir faciitis and joint issues and its incredible.
It has definitely helped my chronic pain in my lower back and hip where i have degeneration. Its eased enough that i can go all day without pain medication. I used to have to take one each morning just to be able to get around. No more. Thank you. Dmso is great.
I used it in the 70's when I had an infection or injury that swelled my knee up. After draining 2 times and was told I would need to do it a couple of more times I used DMSO and within a day my knee was back to normal. I was using in on my horses arthritis for years
DMSO has changed my life! Cured chronic skin issues and has damn near killed neuropathy and helps with my chronic pain. I would like to find a doctor in Arizona that is experienced with the IV route.
Very large heavy duty stapler fell off a high shelf onto my big toe recently. Should have been a fracture. I rushed to put arnica gel on, then kept applying DMSO to the spot all day. No black & blue mark. Day 2 I was walking long distances. Day 3 it was like it never happened.
I have at times debilitating rheumatoid arthritis and Fibromyalgia. I use DMSO all the time for assistance with pain. Love it and highly recommend it to anyone with pain. **Warning it does have a very garlic smell to it** but a little goes a long way.
I used to use DMSO, and I can report that nothing else works like it. I avoid pharmaceuticals at all costs. Since they banned it, I haven't been able to find anything that works as well. As a result, I have chronic pain I live with, rather than poisoning myself.
Showered, no soaps or oils or lotions, clean white towels, applied it to my back, which was on fire (disc leaking causes burning and nerve pain). A little goes a long way. Sat and let it dry.
One of my husband's friends had terminal cancer. His doctor knew he was dying so he told him to drink dmso. He did. His cancer went away. He lived another 20 years and not of cancer.
I have used DMSO periodically throughout my life. I just bought some again. What most people do not realize is that it comes from wood pulp and is totally natural.
My grandmother swore by it and I didn’t trust it. Have been using it for a year now. No more ibuprofen, no more prednisone. My swollen joints are back to normal size. Make sure you get the best one. The less expensive tastes like garlic. Not from ingesting it. Just from putting it on your skin
Many in the horse industry have used it for decades, along with other meds for horses. I just bought some more the other day at my local feed store. Of course, it's still labeled "Not Approved For Human Use."
It works unbelievably well on nerve pain - just don't go crazy and apply over your entire body at once.
I highly recommend Belle Chemical: 100% pure medical grade DMSO. (A family run business. I am NOT affiliated but Michelle shipped a bottle to me when I was visiting the States and couldn't find it ANYWHERE in LA county!)
DMSO is also the only known cure for frostbite. I "burned" my hand with liquid refrigerant to the point that half of my hand went numb and changed color. Thankfully I've done my own research and I keep a bottle in the truck for impact injuries, burns, and cuts. I remembered the frostbite thing and applied it to my hand a few times. Two days later a little surface skin peeled off but my hand was back to normal.
Used it for over 20 years. Topically & orally. NSAIDs & aspirin irritate my stomach/gut. I apply it directly to sore joints and massage. I regularly add drops to a beverage and also use CURCUMIN
So true with DMSO. Wellington, Florida is the world’s premiere Polo Club and players. It is a community of wealth among wealth. They always take care of their valued and prized horses with DMSO when it comes to strains and injuries. People elsewhere need to use it for themselves. This is The Way.
I saw what it could do for my horses whether an injury or pain in joints. So both ivermectin and DMSO and hydrogen peroxide are miracle drugs. My mother used to have us kids gargle with hydrogen peroxide when we had strep throat.
I used to buy it at the feed store in Fort Walton Beach Husband used it on his hands. Arthritis. I still use DSMO in cream. Arnica first then DSMO. Bruises pain arthritis.
Yes, I used it many times on my horses. You learned to wear gloves, or else the taste in your mouth was horrible. I've used it on myself topically for bruises, aches and pains, and other injuries.
I just put it on and wear my bra around the house. The pain in my neck has gone down 80% (that was within two days of using it). I make sure nothing touches that part of my skin for an hour or two. It’s an amazing thing.
OK, so what’s the rest of the story. I’ve been using it for a couple months now it’s the only thing that’s ever taken away my sciatica or any other nerve pain for that matter.
Well, other than OxyContin, but nobody in their right mind wants to take that stuff so
DMSO is almost a miracle. I have a horrid back related to genetic diseases, which really affects my neck and head. This has helped me more than anything in my 50+ years as a chronic pain patient.
Im not sure , it helps my neck the most. Im still trying different methods. Tried taking it orally , but it tasted God awful. Put it on the bottom of my feet last night to get it into my bloodstream.
I crashed my small toe into a chair leg and thought I broke it. The pain was severe, and it turned almost black. I put a solution of 70% Pharma grade DMSO & 30% Castor Oil on my toe, and it immediately stopped the pain. Within two days the black bruising was gone and it continues without issues. I continued using the solution for a couple of weeks. My physician friend also had recommended using that same DMSO/Castor Oil on my peripheral neuropathy that developed in my feet within a couple of weeks of taking the Pfizer booster. I won’t go into reasons why I did take that COVID vaccine after not having any vaccines for 50 years. Living with regret doesn’t help us move forward. But I am continuing the DMSO/Castor Oil protocol. And it has improved my feet as well.
I have been using 70% DMSO to 30% castor oil rubbed on my feet twice a day, morning and evening, making sure your feet are very clean before doing so. It’s not a quick fix. But it was a quick fix for the deeply bruised toe and pain in it! I also use it on any bruising and it clears a bruise up very quickly.
I’ve been doing this now for about six months and have seen slow steady improvement in the neuropathy. But it is still challenging at times.
I have also been on Dr. Peter McCullough’s recommended mRNA detox program for about the same period of time. My physician friend also recommended taking ivermectin for at least a month. I have been doing that once a month four days on three days off. I did get off the nattakonase after three months. So I believe it’s the combination of things that is helping.
Prayer is my first go to though. It refocuses our thinking away from anger and regret and allows healing Love to work within us. I wish your friend well.
In response to your request for more details about my DMSO experiences, here's some more info:
I'm 59 years old.
I've had asthma since my early teens which gets set off by my allergies. Within days of starting to take 1 tablespoon of DMSO per day, I was able to use my albuterol inhaler less. Now it's been months since I last used it. I used to need the inhaler every time I play table tennis, but now never. I feel less sensitive to dust, although certainly not cured.
I haven't seen a benefit when I go to someone's home if there's pets. I'll start sneezing within an hour and will usually need the inhaler shortly after.
I've had a diagnosed bulged disk for most of my adult life due to work and weightlifting. I was rather shocked at how swiftly and thoroughly DMSO reduced that pain. My lower back may still hurt after sleeping on the wrong type of mattress or after a hard session of table tennis, but the disk is rarely a problem now and the pain goes away quickly.
The tennis elbow has plagued me off and on for 20 years. DMSO took care of that in a week or two. Any time I start to feel tenderness on the outside of my elbow, I spray on some DMSO.
The trigger finger took months and although mostly healed, is still a work in progress. I haven't been consistent with that treatment.
The bad knees are something I was born with and table tennis can make them ache and swell. DMSO definitely helps, although I usually feel the benefits the next day. Same for the back too.
DMSO doesn't feel like it provides instant relief, it needs perhaps 12 hours. I used 99% strength originally, but I've since switched to a 70% spray for convenience and to reduce skin discomfort and scaling. 50/50 THC/CBD topical cream applied while the DMSO is still wet on the skin provides powerful nearly instant pain relief.
Several years ago, I watched a YouTube video of a woman talking about DMSO. She had nebulized it with colloidal silver and it had cured her asthma with one treatment. I know it sounds wild, but she seemed credible and I think she worked as a pharmacist so she knew about drugs.
I am using DMSO blended with coconut oil (lauric acid) and colloidal silver gell to heal a Cutibacterium acnes ulcer. It's healing well and I have no pain. 👍
Everytime I drown into a despondent cycle of no energy, blurred vision, cognitive impairment/ dysfunction, extreme anxiety I take in juice or tea a teaspoon of 99.9% DMSO & two droppers of Blue Methylene, it’s like waking up a zombie, it really livens a broken system.
I put a drop of castor oil in my eyes and then a drop of DMSO for eyes, it makes my eyes clear, it stings for a few seconds.... I hope it clears my cataracts, but I don't know yet. Instructions say to use it twice a day, I use it once.
Awful. Have you look into inhaling diluted solution of DMSO. I have asthma and did it and it really helped. This is not medical advice just my experience.
@MidwesternDoc discusses a lot of readers h on DMSO.
I can tell you what I do with it. A mixture of 50% DMSO, 15% Castor Oil, 35% distilled water, mix well in a 2 oz amber glass bottle with a dropper. I use it for pain & inflammation, topically only. I've also mixed 1:1 ratio water/DMSO. I recommend a DMSO book to help guide you.
Been using DMSO for my tinnitus for about 8 months now. It is not gone for 100% although I had 3 completely silent days, but it is like 90% less koud. Very very pleased
I use DMSO topically regularly instead of NSAID’s which are terrible for your liver.
I love to hike, and rub it on my feet or knees as it brings blood flow. Pain goes down in minutes, I’ve rubbed it on the gums adjacent to a painful toothe while waiting to go to the dentist.
DMSO mixed with colloidal silver has helped pain and swelling due to arthritis for both my hubby & me. It actually works well mixed with distilled water or other carrier, but we mix it since CS has so many health benefits. Skin must be clean before application as DMSO carries whatever it’s mixed with or on the skin into the body, from what we understand.
I do topical mixed with magnesium oil, apply to the front lower top of my legs & to my hip (was applying for bursitis which is now gone). As for oral (I'm not there yet) 1 tsp with juice. I use a small amount on my toothbrush along with Risewell toothpaste
I have had a broken coccyx for a couple of years. Painkillers did nothing, NHS were next to useless after the MRI. 6 months ago I discovered DMSO through Midwestern Dr, and haven’t looked back. I mix with castor oil and massage in. Have a day off occasionally, boosts effectivenes
Hello. Many thanks! Had 7 out of 10 pain both shoulders for years. Orthoped #1 cortisone every 3 months to manage pain. Orthoped #2 wanted total left shoulder replace (no cartiladge) and right shoulder surgery for tears. Midwestern Dr.: DMSO (I also started Molecular Hydrogen) and IMMEDIATELY ZERO PAIN AND 100% USE for going on 6 months now. AMAZING
My English bulldog had a very stubborn case of pneumonia. She was on three different antibiotics over an eight week period & nothing seemed to help. Then we added DMSO to the treatment protocol! 1 week later her lungs were clear.
I have found that aspirin powder dissolves quite well in DMSO if a little more pain control is needed. This method doesn’t cause stomach irritation. I apply the DMSO to a painful joint then sprinkle 100mg Health Natura aspirin powder & rub until dissolved.
I make a paste with DMSO, MSM, arnica extract and glucosamine for my horses. Any heat swelling we apply it immediately. It has helped reverse arthritis in a horse who recently had surgery and started to develop arthritis a few months post op.
In The commercial Thoroughbred industry, DMSO is regularly used, and is considered a wonder drug. Case in point - I had a filly in training that reared up and flipped over backwards onto the asphalt, (with me on her, which is another story) hitting her head so badly she knocked spines off 2 vertebra, and got up, completely blind. The vet came, and we gave her massive doses of IV DMSO, 10 days in a row. 2 months later, that filly not only regained her sight, she went back into training to become a race horse. I got her to the races, and she ran 2nd her first time out, Maiden Special Weight, at the end of that year. This is the power of DMSO, and why we use it in our industry. Every groom has a jar in his grooming box (but it will make you smell funny).
I have had it in my cabinet for several months because I was interested in this product. A few days ago, I had throbbing pain from a tight shoe blister that seemed to have gotten worse and became inflamed. I did the 50-50 solution with castor oil. it was immediately better the next day. I felt it again that night applied it full strength, knowing that my skin was fine with it and I’m back and on the road. I’m going to try this for my neck ache
Amazing!! And it’s natural that means God provided it for us😃 we do
Thank you, Western doc I read your article too on Substack 🥰
I’ve been using DMSO since November 2024, when I heard about it. I’m using a 70% gel on my legs (big improvement in veins and circulation) Using it on the toes I am prone to Tinnea, so far all good. Having about 3ml of 70% liquid in a glass of water. That is helping my severe asthma amazingly. (I had asthma all my life but it got worse during peri-menopause, then significantly worse after the swine flu vax end of 2009)
I had a shoulder injury, it’s cleared up after about 2 months of regular use of 70% gel. I give each treatment a break (except the toes so far) só it doesn’t build up excessively. It’s an absolute wonder.
Though sadly I lost my part Turkish Van / British Long Hair cat to squamous cell carcinoma of the jaw (upper) last week, he lived 3 months beyond how long he should have survived. I owe a lot to DMSO and Chlorine Dioxide. I still wonder had we caught it early, would he be here -- will never know but certainly learned a lot about francincense oil, sea buckthorn berry oil, apricot seeds etc...and DMSO/Chlorine Dioxide. Anyhow, DMSO signifcantly reduced his swelling and pain and in fact, he took no pain meds until the very last weekend (Gambentin at that point) and I knew I was taking him the following Monday to go over the rainbow bridge. He was able to eat solid and wet food even on the day I took him in; was 15.2 pounds at diagnosis. 17 pounds day of rainbow crossing. But the cancer had gotten into his eye and was headed to his nasal cavity. DMSO - It's amazing stuff. I have golfer's elbow. I use about 20%, sometimes 15% (my skin is really sensitive) on my elbow and within an hour -- the pain is gone, for 12 hours. I do it twice a day at times - yep you smell like grass clippings (they say sulfur, I say cut wet grass) but the pain relief is amazing. I have made eyedrops using DMSO and Chlorine Dioxide too now and am so glad I just happened upon your Substack posts along with posts on Chlorine Dioxide covering Jim Humble's work and the more recent Dr. Andreas Kalcker's work. I truly believe both DMSO and Chlorine Dioxide in combination -- prolonged my cat's life, left him more comfortable, and now the protocols in particular DMSO at this point, are helping me immensely. The oils I used helped too -- but frankly squamous is often diagnosed very late in pets and people. I am back to doing plank in yoga/pilates, lifting my weights with no pain, and doing push-ups again. I wish there was a no odor version, because when I go to mass on some Saturdays, boy do I stink - it's still winterish here in Michigan so nobody knows, but come summer look out; it's a tiny price to pay for natural pain relief, in a container that is inexpensive and highly effective. God bless and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
hi MD, I have recently brought a long running tooth abscess under control with DMSO and vitamin C powder. I dab vitamin C on the area and apply a touch of 70% DMSO neat, and let soak. I do this every day. I don't know if I can effect a full cure but am pretty much symptom free now - and it was severe
I had four leaking heart valves, high blood pressure, short of breath, and was overweight. I quit eating sugar and processed foods and started taking MSM crystals (DMSO). Six months later I had lost 40 pounds, blood pressure was normal, inflammation was gone from
my body, and my heart and valves were functioning perfectly. According to all tests the doctors said my biological age was now ten years younger than my actual age. I feel like I am 18 again. We all need to take control of our own health and stop living like someone else is responsible for our lives and our actions. If we all do this, we can simply make government and pharma a non factor and they will have to right size themselves to fit in our world.
Whole body (MSM). It may seem crazy but my mind is clearer but that may be due to the diet change. We use liquid DMSO on injuries, pain, and to heal cuts. Truly amazing. We also use castor oil after DMSO dries to ease any itch or burn from the DMSO.
The big change for my heart valves was a complete stoppage of sugar and carbs. As far as DMSO, we get it from the DMSO store on Amazon and it is in a glass bottle - use this for topical. As far as internal, we take MSM crystals from the happybodystore on the internet. I take a teaspoon a day but you slowly work up to that - my wife takes a tablespoon a day - I just add it to my coffee. Again, the big change everyone needs to make is stopping the sugar. It removes the inflammation so rapidly in your body when you stop it that after two weeks I feel like a new person. My life has totally changed by removing sugar, carbs, and processed foods. I do eat a few carbs but an extremely controlled amount - never more than 10 carbs in a day and typically no where near that. My wife is doing the same (has had diabetes for a long time) and we are seeing a massive improvement in her readings - none of her doctors ever recommended this path. All of this with the addition of MSM and DMSO for healing is a life changing path.
My husband had to buy his DMSA at Tractor Supply as doctors won't prescribe it. He cuts it with coconut oil and sprays on his hips to ease his pain. It works great and no side effects. He had tried everything and DMSO was the only thing that helped. My brother-in-law is a MD with a major teaching hospital.
He told us his partner used to prescribe DMSO regularly but stopped likely because it was blocked by FDA. We need to release all these safe, inexpensive treatments from the grips of the FDA and the CDC and MAHA! Thanks
Yesterday I added DMSO to colloidal silver & tea tree topically in addition to the internal Oregano oil (6drops 4x a day) and Monolaurin 3x day + silver, tea tree (with a few drops of DMSO added yesterday)and saline solution in my neti pot 3x a day.
The itching has stopped and I believe it is much improved overnight.
My dog has had a horrible rash on her chest for a long time. Vet tried everything, finally told us to “live with it.” I read about DMSO and Colloidal Silver…been applying it for about a month. She’s 99% better.
My husband has bladder cancer and has treated for the first year with DMSO and colloidal silver. He has still had tumours but they were not cancerous. We will find out in April/May as he is going 6mths between instead of every 3mths.
I use the heck out of dmso and colloidal silver for arthritis pain and it works very well . I add a little dmso to my pain salve and it works so well my dr uses it and sends me patients who buy it from me.
Thank you also for the articles on DMSO! My mom is severely disabled due to multiple strokes. I’ve been using it on her and it’s probably too late for her but I have hope. And for my dad, after 8 years of chronic pain and nothing having helped him, his pain has been reduced by 50% with DMSO!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The DMSO I’ve been taking for my asthma is night and day. I can breathe! 😊 Just used it on my wrist too after too much yard work one day and the next day, just a tiny bit of sore. Normally it would take days to feel better. Thank you thank you! Please train more docs so we can have a future of informed and curious doctors.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication in writing these articles! I started using DMSO a week or so ago and it helped my carpal tunnel wrist pain immediately and have begun using it on my knees and shoulders as well with good results.
Couple issues resolved (Blessings upon you, Doctor);
I have had an itch (but no blemishes) on the top of my foot, small area about the size of a 50 cent piece, for YEARS. Never could figure out what it was, and nothing could ease the itch. Put DMSO on it, and the itch is finally freaking GONE. No more nights of scratching myself into a frenzy, and praying that the ammonia works THIS time.
Had a herpes outbreak. I've had that miserable crap for decades, nothing works on it. Put DMSO on it a few days ago, didn't even think to check it til this article came out. It apparently dried up when I wasn't looking, and there's no residual itch left over. No digging off scabs over and over again, waiting for this miserable crap to dry up and heal. Didn't even have to break the initial blisters to get it to start healing. Just dried up and blew away. Wish I knew about this stuff decades ago, would have saved me a lot of scarring and misery.
I use my DMSO full strength in topical applications. It doesn't seem to bother me much but occasionally. I ignore the occasional burny itchies, they don't last that long.
Is it possible that continual application of DMSO cream to my husbands bad back could be helping his lungs? He seems to have more energy, is doing more, and I'm wondering! I cover his whole back, shoulders and side ribs down to the bottom each morning.
Amazing...he's 85, with pulmonary fibrosis and emphasema and he's getting stronger, refused his wheelchair going to church yesterday, makes the coffee for me before going to bed, and ONLY DMSO back rub and sunlight are different. He wanted to try nebulizing but it was a cheap little thing, and the pure liquid began to eat the plastic in the nebulizer...so I gave up that idea. This was unexpected, and the docs around here don't seem to have ever heard of DMSO!!! I'm going to keep exploring this, and am so very grateful for these articles! Thanks so much. I don't want to lose him!
I had to respond when I saw you mentioned planters wart. I’ve use Colloidal silver for many years for many reasons. One day I thought, what the heck, why not try it on my warts. So I did. Applied it generously on and around the warts, then soaked a cotton ball with the cs and applied a bandage over them and went to bed. In the morning the warts definitely looked different but not gone. I did this for 3 nights in a row and wallah! the warts dried up. They looked like patches of dry skin and I continued applying the cs with a qtip during the day until they were completely gone. Never came back.
DMSO has helped me though. I have a weak heart and lungs due to 10 years of exposure to chlorine in a pool. My chest pain instantly retreats when I use it as well as tinnitus when I apply to my forehead.
I have chondromslacia patellae in both knees. Started using DMSO recently at night 90/10 distilled water topically applied at night. Feel MUCH better in the AM. Now doing it every evening.
Gave some to a friend to try for gout in a hip joint. He felt it made a big difference!
DMSO update: commencing week 4. 50% dilution. Applied to hip, entire circumference. (Arthritis, torn labrum). Suffering from this for 18 months, at one point crawling up stairs.
Both knees above and below patella 6". Bone on bone arthritis. (Aging athlete).
Self implemented physical therapy for 18 months. Daily. Epsom salt baths on occasion.
By start of week three, the results on hip were remarkable, especially since dmso on hip had marginal results in the studies AMD linked. Start of week 4? Simply amazing.
I can now stride uphill on walks. Nearly full stride. Actually regaining that "bounce" in my step that had previously been an aching "plod". Cadence doubled. Oh, part of that is the knees are responding well too.
I have a visit with a surgeon scheduled soon, if referral is not further delayed. I'm actually hoping for the system to be as inefficient as rumored. I think by the time I get in to see surgeon about replacement, the whole idea will be moot. If this improvement continues, I may abandon the idea entirely.
I'm off meloxicam. And what is interesting is that there has been no backward progression. Just continual improvement.
I am beyond thrilled and cannot thank AMD enough for this series. Priceless.
A friend of mine put me on to DMSO but didn't say much more than that. I'm currently using it on a number of issues from a black widow spider bite to mitigate the swelling and pain (trust me, you don't want one of those), joint aches, tinnitus and fever blisters that my wife gets on occasion at a dilution of 60%. I have not used it full strength. 60% seems a good tolerance for me.
Started a month ago spraying on my face 70% DMSO, magnesium oil, and castor oil. I would blink immediately after spraying solution and a small amount would get into my eyes. It would burn slightly for a minute or less. I noticed an immediate improvement the next morning. I had less dryness and less blurred vision.
I was kicked in my eye by our puppy, 50 lbs and strong, did serious damage and was legally blind seeing double, no progress healing for a month. So I found a recipe 2 parts systane, 1 part dmso, 1 part castor oil. My vision is restored. castor oil lubricates obviously, and is used in good eye drops, but also dissolves scarring and would assume it would due the same to accumulated blood. I'm no expert, it worked for me and quick. I had 80% healing in days, a good part of that in 24 hours. Month previous as stated, was not improving at all.
I use a 25% DMSO to 75% 10 ppm Colloidal Silver mixture every night. My vision is vastly improved and more crisp than ever. If you have had cataract implants you cannot use DMSO eye drops as they will etch the implanted lenses.
I have seen cataracts disappear after the use of DMSO.
10% is too low a percentage of DMSO. 20% is okay. Colloidal silver helps to deliver the dmso, they are synergistic.
Good luck, Steve. I posted about DMSO on this when you first had issues.
I subscribe to Mid Western Doctor on Substack and have read all of his articles on DMSO, it totally works, even for small things. I burned my thumb on a hot tea kettle, but the DMSO on it right away and the pain was gone and it healed the burn very quickly.
Yes Midwestern Doctor does address it in one of the articles. He has four articles on the subject, I highly recommend subscribing to his substack and then you can get all four full articles, you can print them to PDf. that's what I did. this is the link to one of the articles.
in the article are links to the other three. It's a lot of information and so well worth your time.
I can't thank you enough as DMSO gave me my life back. It is incredible. My experience follows, apologies for its length:
This summer I had a left shoulder injury with a concussion of the back in the upper region. Initially, I was making a slow but steady recovery.
Around the fourth week it turned south, and eventually everything from the top of my neck to the tip of my left hand was inflamed and in various kinds of pain. At some point throbbing pain started in my right shoulder, in the same place as in the injured one - a possible sympathetic process. I was feeling systemically sick (as, for example, one would feel from a flu, if that makes more sense).
Standard meds were useless - e.g. diclofenac, naproxen - and only icing provided some relief.
About 25 days ago, I started a DMSO treatment: 70% gel - once a day before bedtime. The result: the last couple of days I feel not sick for the first time in months, though some local issues persist.
I observed a range of effects, in order:
- Suppression of pain
- Localization of pain to its source points
- Curing of inflammation
- Healing of the damaged tissue
- Healing of the body
- Unexpected beneficial side effects on some other issues
- Negative side effects with minimal doses of caffeine and alcohol
- After the first application, DMSO effect on pain was immediate and incredible. I felt myself again and could move freely.
- Moving around was a mistake - suppressed pain is obviously not equal to being healed. This happened after the first application, and the pain returned in force, which made me stop the treatment for a couple of days, until I realized what I did wrong.
- I continued the treatment, and after about several days I started sleeping much better.
- Progress has NOT been continuous, I had good days and bad days, but the trend was clear and things were getting better.
- The pain was getting localized - it turned out that much of it came from my neck, rather than the shoulder.
- I was able to detect muscle knots in the neck and after a week or so they went away
- Other benefits:
1) I had a chronic issue in my left wrist, that would flare up with little strain. I thought that is going to stay with me forever, but it's been gone now for a few weeks.
2) Very painful left thumb inflammation which appeared after the injury - gone
3) Eye floaters visibly weakened; I have had them for more than a decade, due to the uveitis (which I managed to cure a few years ago with a diet change. The floaters however stayed)
4) After accidentally looking at the sun for too long, central parts of my eye had been responding slower to light, which was visible in low light conditions. After your recent article, I started using some macular degeneration supplement along with the above DMSO treatment and now the low light effect is gone; and this is only after several days of playing with this.
5) A six month old scar on my finger - a dark purple spot - is now barely visible. I put DMSO on it every day.
6) Armpit odor, another chronic problem, much improved.
During this time I haven't had any issues with garlic odor or odor of any kind. However, I did notice that even the smallest amounts of decaf coffee disturbed my sleep. Same with a glass of beer.
Final observation:
- It seems that I would get the best response if I use an ON-OFF strategy: Apply DMSO for several days then stop for a day or two. I stopped the treatment several times, as a test. The same thing would happen each time - when I stopped with DMSO, the pain would at first increase than over the course of the following day reach a new low. It would then start to increase again, at which point I would restart the treatment. It's almost as if DMSO attenuates some useful signals to the body, which after its removal is able to better "see" where the problems really are and heal. But then the inflammation would return and DMSO would be needed again.
I am loving all these articles on DMSO! Thank you for taking the time to write so thoroughly about it. I recall seeing it in the health food store years ago but didn't know what it was for and hadn't ever heard anyone speak of it. I have a lot of things I want to experiment with it on, however, I was able to test it on an acute burn injury immediately. At the time that had I got burned by a fat piece of grease that dripped on me from my oven, I didn't have DMSO on hand nor had I read the part in your article that mentioned it could be used on burns, but I wondered and a couple days later after the injury (and having searched for it in your article) I started applying a 50% solution topically. It was a minor burn but the pain had penetrated deeper into my body tissue and was also causing a systemic immune response that was making me feel ill. After about 2 days applying a couple times a day my burn has dramatically healed and I was able to stop wearing a bandage so that it could dry up and heal even faster. It looks great today!
I also applied drops into my eyes this morning and into my ears after reading this article. My eyes immediately feel better. I'm am going to see if I can improve my vision and eliminate some frequent waste accumulation I am getting in the corner of my eye that I didn't use to have. I also want to see if I can improve tinnitus/ hearing/ wax buildup in the ear. I'm so stoked about seeing how DMSO can improve my health while having also having it on hand as a proven first aid tool and broad spectrum healing agent.
Thank you for the article on DMSO and the eye. After reading your research and sharing with my husband who has recurring eye styes that aren’t responding to standard treatment, he wanted to try something. I’m familiar with DMSO since I use it on my horses occasionally and had a bottle in the tack room. I took a tiny dab on a q-tip and applied it to the stye that was about the size of a large pea. Within an hour it began to drain and by the next morning was 25% the size it was before he went to bed. Utterly amazing!! So grateful for your work. I have an order of pharma grade arriving next week 😊
After reading @MidwesternDoc article I tried DMSO on a huge eye stye my husband has, a recurring issue that no doctor had been able to fix. In less than 24 hours it went from the size of a large pea to near gone. One small dab on a q-tip. Amazing.
I can smell it when I put the gel on, but that’s about the only time. Nobody has mentioned if they can smell it coming off of me. Don’t worry about the smell though. I’ve been using it a week and am feeling fantastic overall and my asthma is non existent right now. I was really struggling with it lately before starting this. Energy too is coming back. This doc, whoever he is, will have so many people so grateful to him for what he’s done for us with his time, talent, and sharing of this info.
Yes, my dad had an eye disease and he used DMSO and it worked. At Mayo they said they might have to take the eye. But it cleared up. It was a mixture of vitamin C and DMSO. He got the recipe off the internet. He also used an aloe eye drop from Greece. It worked and the disease never came back.
btw, i cut my little finger badly - put ~ 70% dmso on it almost immediately, along with a little colloidal silver. I could hardly believe how fast it healed.
Reporting on my DMSO trial - approximately 8 weeks in using 1 tblsp mixed with small glass of juice nightly. Severe bladder pain due to emergency catheter required post double hernia repair due to delay getting to ER and overextended bladder. Within 2 weeks of starting DMSO, 6 months of bladder pain was reduced then gone within a few days. I am now pain free (bladder) and have a strong urine stream and can finally fill and hold like the good old days. Also Covid low energy and brain fog is much, much improved. Still hoping for relief of arthritis and tinnitus but will continue using DMSO. Speaking of shortage, I purchased 2 gallons on Amazon when bladder pain stopped thinking I had to stock up on this before the election. I don't trust the system not to spasm at least for a while and I don't believe in being caught unprepared in general :)
In an earlier Substack, you mentioned DMSO seems to be more effective on smaller joints. I have arthritic changes in the left abductor pollicis breves tendon. It was causing me a lot of sharp pain on and off and there was limitation of range of motion and ability to open jars, etc. I have been applying the DMSO 100% liquid from the DMSO store for about two weeks. The pain is gone and the ROM has improved dramatically. There’s still a difference compared to the right, but the improvement is remarkable. I am also using it on the right upper back and cervical spine as I have carpal tunnel symptoms of tingling in my right hand. It’s also working, but not as quickly as the thumb. Every time you write about it, I try to read everything. I printed one of your articles so I could re-read and underline. I wish I could give it to my chronic pain patients without fear of repercussions. One of them has Rheumatoid Arthritis, is homeless, and is hooked on Fentanyl due to the pain. It’s hard for me to understand that I can buy this and use it on myself, but I cannot prescribe it for her.
Thanks so much for this! I use DMSO for crepey skin (neck), sun damaged skin (chest), and back pain, all to great effect. Recently started on my scalp for hair health.
Do you dilute the DMSO for your neck and chest? I have been using the 99% gel from tractor supply and my skin is getting dry and flakey from the irritation.
Thank you! I'm 75 and 5 years ago, I was in top athletic condition, then injured my spine. Grade 1 spondylolisthesis with severe spinal stenosis at L4/L5. Crippling chronic pain. Declined surgery and opioids and over 4 years have been rehabbing myself from where I could only walk for a few seconds to where I can dance for a few minutes.
For about a month I've been applying DMSO topically to my low back area. It reduces, even removes the pain for a few hours. Combined with all the other therapies I do daily, I'm noticeably more functional with DMSO.
I hadn't thought about it limbering up my joints and tendons, but that makes sense. I'm going to experiment with that.
My MIL has this exact condition. I know she takes medicines but I would really like for her to try DMSO. Should she be concerned with reactions between DMSO and other pharmaceuticals she is taking?
I will rub it on my stomach for about 20 minutes (make sure skin is clean and dry). DMSO will react with water if not dry and cause some skin irritation. If I’m going to be home for a day or so, I drink a teaspoon. It will cause an odor, so I don’t do it during the workweek etc.
I used the DMSO cream with arnica on a client of mines bruising (from IVs) and the bruising disappeared overnight. Excellent stuff! And the cream is only a 20% solution. I’ve got the gel with the 70% ordered. Can’t wait to try it
Used this to treat my torn ACL and it is was good as new in about 8 months. My daughter had a steam burn 4x4 on her calf huge blister and couldn't even tell 2 days later. I have a stash in my cupboard.
"When I was a child, Dad was badly burned at work in an electrical fire. After his release from the hospital, Mom used DMSO topically on his wounds. There was enough release in the tight scars on the back his hands that he was able to return to work. DMSO heals and relieves pain."
This was a message I received from a supporter of this newsletter:
"Thank you. This is only my second paid subscription to a Substack.com author (the first was to Dr. Robert Malone). I'm retired, on a very limited fixed income and have been in chronic pain from a spinal injury five years ago. Your detailed series on DMSO has already helped me reduce my pain noticeably. Your other articles on GHB, sunlight, etc. have also taught me about natural remedies suppressed"
This was a message I received from a supporter of this newsletter:
"All the great work you are doing, and lately the DMSO info. I just started using DMSO topically for a very troublesome pain in my left shoulder and I am getting very good relief."
This is a quite small issue, but I’ve experienced ankle pain upon waking consistently for 5-6 years. I bought a 70% DMSO / 30% aloe vera cream about one week ago and started putting it on my ankles after showering but before bed. The ankle pain disappeared after one night’s use and has not returned.
Thank you very much for helping me in so many ways. I found your Substack while trying to help my mother, who is dealing with a large number of conditions you cover. I really would have had no idea where to start helping her were it not for you and your writing.
I am a new user of DMSO to treat arthritis and pain associated with multiple fusion surgeries (ankles) related to undiagnosed hemochromatosis. Dosing is one tblsp with fruit juice daily. Within two hours of my first dose, general foot pain was reduced. Honestly I just "felt better" with a sense of relief. As I move forward with usage over time I plan to withdraw from other medications and will keep you updated on my progress. Cautiously optimistic. Thank you so very much ... !!!!!!
AMD, FYI the “Master Mineral Solution” (chlorine dioxide) anti-parasite protocol includes DMSO. Interesting that it has a primary function similar to both Ivermectin and Fenbendazole, and it, too, has numerous anti-cancer and other testimonials: https://mmstestimonials.co/
I have not yet written about it because many other people already have. These take a long time to do so I am trying to prioritize the topics that aren't written about.
We had a client w/ unremitting back pain. She responded beautifully to Zeel. If you overpaint that w/ DMSO, it can be very helpful. We have used a lot of this combination in "downer dogs" (paralytic/paretic), some of which had failed conventional therapies for extended periods before we saw them!
I have been using DMSO recently. I wanted to put it on my legs to help heal my bruises faster and maybe reduce some spider veins, crepe arm skin and sun damage. I have a big toe that went through a sesimoid ectomy a few years ago that can flare up a bit but can manage it with asprin and turmeric. I do not take NSAID's. I am built tall and thin, low body fat, 58 and vain. I mean I look like a 30 year old from a short distance and am trying to keep it that way for as long as possible. I am still very active even running short distances. I'm always loading my kayak, camping and other stuff by myself and my legs take a lot of bumps and scratches,,,thin skin and easily bruise.
I see the bruises healing faster with 99.9 German made DMSO applied liberally a few times a week. I do not always experience the smell. Stinging and smell makes me feel like it's working, doing something. I would like to find a safe applicator so that my palms don't feel weird and wrinkly. I am very afraid of plastics so still just using a glass dropper and apply by hand. I am thinking about taking one drop a day orally with water or olive oil.
I use a clean organic cotton ball. Makes it a little easier to coat uniformly, rather than having streaks of DMSO running every which way. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GTHEOC
Thank you. Geoff Paine has been blasting DMSO as dangerous and calling for your identity to be revealed. You have outmaneuvered him by presenting all of the data. I believe anonymous publication is good for the world as it was for the American colonies especially in the 1750-1820 time frame.
I really think he doesn't understand the toxicity data or the context behind it. It's very common that people get fixated on what they know and then become blind to a much larger picture. I was amazed that he cited the FAERS data as proof DMSO was deadly without looking through it first or understanding what was in it.
I think he has looked through the data. He has written at least 5 articles on the dangers of DMSO including eye damage in human and animals, rabbit deaths, the odor that makes blind studies difficult, the skin reactions and explosions. He never talks much about the purity of the DMSO (contamination is particularly damages because DMSO can shuttle those contaminates throughout the bloodstream) or the concentration. He has an agenda and he was making me question. I really appreciate your summary of the data about the adverse events in the context of the benefits and in comparison with other drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
I'm just getting going here in the UK. So many facinating comments already! After reading your compelling analysis of DMSO I checked out Sarah Myhill (drmyhill.co.uk) to find that she has recently written about it too. I then checked out Amandha Vollmer's book on healing with DMSO, which is inspiring to those of us interested in understanding how our bodies function and finding natural remedies to everday ailments.
A week ago I started taking DMSO orally, 5ml twice a day, for general aches and pains (tendonitis, bursitis) and poor circulation. So far it's hard to judge any difference but I appreciate it can take weeks.
I suspect the taste (and garlic smell) may be a big turn-off for some people but I find that chewing fennel seeds helps, just as my Indian friends do after eating a spicy curry.
The information on Dr. Myhill’s site is what first made me interested in DMSO. AMD has gone to a whole new level though! I also have the Vollmer book, though I’ve only skimmed it so far.
Sarah Myhill is a true warrior, tackling chronic illness and helping ensure we all have access to information about our options to reverse the damage done by our bullying NHS. AMD is sincere and diligent. It's such a pity he or she has to remain anonymous. I wish more medically-trained people had the courage and humility to challenge the bullies who run our healthcare system. And I wish more ordinary people had the courage to confront the bullies on their behalf by refusing unnecessary treatments and challenging protocols that harm us all.
Everything kills fish. Those things die when you look at them wrong. I won't have them and I get anxiety when I see a tank out in public for which I'm not even responsible. One notable exception being a hospice waiting room. That tank was awesome. If this stuff doesn't even kill fish it's safer than tap water, which (in my experience) does.
Maybe it would be helpful for the Duypetrens contractions in my hands? Perhaps a blend of DMSO with magnesium oil and then some Rolfing? After several needle apeurotmies (?) and an injection, both little fingers are bent way in and I’m considering invasive surgery.
I have two magnesium oils from Amazon, haven't used yet.
Asutra spray "Pure Zechstein" magnesium chloride
Life-flo spray "from the ancient Zechstein seabed" magnesium chloride "brine"
Also thinking about soaking in epsom salts but DMSO would be more direct.
Haven't found a Rolfer yet. First try with some massage guy who offered only acupuncture instead.
Seems like I will need some deep massage to bring back flexibility over time.
Have also been taking Amazon magnesium supplements: MegaFood 300MG citrate, malate, and glycinate combo (and spinach leaf!). My wife thinks that helps with her calf cramps at night.
My Dupuytrens & trigger finger improved dramatically with the first dose of using CDS. Now that I know more, I use MMS1 instead. My hand isn't 100%, but close to 90% I'd say. I used to call that hand my "flipper." Now it is a hand again.
My Dupuytrens & trigger finger improved dramatically with the first dose of using CDS. Now that I know more, I use MMS1 instead. My hand isn't 100%, but close to 90% I'd say.
DMSO have been a wonderful relieving agent for herpes 1 & 2. Given to me by my boyfriend who was doing secret things behind my back. Yay. But I've lived with it for 30+ years, and DMSO is something I can rely on to ease pain and seemingly send the attack back into dormancy.
How do you apply DMSO for genital herpes flairs? Sorry to be so direct, but if I have extreme stress and breakout, valacyclavir is really hard on the liver....
Perhaps DMSO has to be 'hidden' because it interferes with Big Pharma's other, more profitable medicines. Just like IVM was denigrated by the FDA (albeit temporarily - while their DEADLY VAX PROGRAM was established.
I stumbled upon your incredible series on DMSO one week after my husband had a stroke which left him in horrible pain, vertigo, exhaustion and partial paralysis of the left side of his face, arm and leg.
I bought liquid DMSO on Amazon and thank God, the pain went away almost instantly every time I applied it to his face, neck and shoulder.
Long story short, I continued to apply undiluted DMSO to the problem areas with cotton pads about 2-3 times a day.
About 2 weeks in, he began to walk without a cane for short periods , and was sleeping less.
Only 3 months after the stroke he walked with me unassisted to a friend's house carrying a guitar (!) and was able to play the guitar and sing flawlessly while standing with one foot on a chair. My jaw was on the floor! My friend asked me why I looked so strange, so I told her,
"You're all witnessing a freakin' miracle right now. This man had a stroke three months ago, and now he's playing his guitar like nothing happened!"
She was speechless .
Doctor, thank you, thank you!!!! You are a Godsend!
I was given an antibiotic twice for sinus infections. I wasn’t told it could damage tendons. After the first dose I had pain and inflammation in my left achilles. 8 months later, following the second dose, my left Achilles became more painful and my right Achilles also became tender and painful.
After reading your article I purchased dmso gel and applied it morning and night. Amazing! After the first dose my pain was 50% less. After the second day, the pain was almost gone and I could walk normally. I’m so grateful! I love to walk and hike and was quite sad to have to cut back on my favorite activity. Thank you so much for getting this information out to all of us!
I have been damaged a few times by western medicine and this last incident was so upsetting. I’m usually very cautious, but my last two sinus infections were so severe, I just wanted to clear them up. So, I take some responsibility in not thoroughly researching the drug before taking it. But, my md knew I had an inflamed tendon and prescribed it anyway. I do feel she should have given me something else.
Thanks so much for this information. My 80 year old mother had a major bleed stroke in her brain at age 57 as a side effect of hormone replacement therapy. She was told she would never have use of her right side again, but she proved them wrong by toughing her way back to reasonable health and regaining enough mobility and dexterity to handle daily chores such as folding sheets, getting dressed without assistance, gardening, cooking, and so on, though her art career required a major change from being right handed to using mostly her left hand.
She has been using DMSO on her legs for several weeks now and has noticed a huge reduction in pain, discomfort, swelling, and discoloration of the skin. She gave me some of her batch and I'm curious to see what it can do for persistent tinnitus as the result of a surfing injury. I saw tinnitus mentioned once near the beginning of the article, but no mentions after that or in the comments. I'm curious to know how I might administer it in the best way to help rid me of the "guitar leaning against a Marshall stack on 11" squeal that dominates my life 24/7.
I have been periodically (i.e. whenever I remember to) putting a 50% solution with distilled water straight into my ear with glass dropper, and it seems to be helping. After 15 minutes or so I gently remove the excess with a cotton swab, and then for a while my ear canal feels warm. A while after that I clean the canal again and what seems to a combination of ear wax and something flaky (dead skin?) comes out.
The result so far is that I go longer amounts of time without noticing the ringing, and when I do notice it, it seems to be slightly less loud. It also seems to migrate back and forth between my "good" ear (the left one) and my right ear, but at a lower overall level. As I type this first thing in the morning it is only in my right ear, at about 80% of what it was before I started treating it. Then again, I'm of course fully aware of it, given the subject matter. ;-) An hour from now things will likely have changed as I go about my day.
My mom is also continuing to see improvement in her stroke recovery. Her damaged right side seems to be "waking up", and she now has both more feeling and more strength on that side, to the point where I notice it in her gait. She is now using her right hand more in daily tasks, and the other day she was sanding and refinishing some furniture and said "Hey look, I'm sanding with my right hand!". She also says there's a little bit of discomfort in the recovery process, and that when she pushes herself to do more during her day, she really feels it afterward. To that I said that should be expected, just like if you were going through physical therapy after an injury.
We're both very encouraged overall, and we will keep an eye on this thread to see how it's helping others and what information we can share.
My son has very debilitating tinnitus - I am also interested to hear about anything which might help him. Apparently tinnitus is not an uncommon affliction and yet all of the doctors my son has been to just shrug their shoulders. I have ordered some DMSO for him. Hope it works, good luck to you and please update us on your results.
Right after your 1st DMSO article, I fell chasing my chickens🤣, and unfortunately ended up with my elbow getting shoved between metal slats of my deck furniture. Excruciating pain in my elbow, spasming tricep and ribs. No sleep for 2 days, then started slathering DMSO on both sites and BOOM. Blessed sleep, no pain and I was shocked at how fast the bruise cleared up. Just discovered that I actually had an avulsion fracture and my entire tricep tendon is detached.....but not much pain, just general soreness. I have to have surgery now, but you can bet your sweet bippy I am reaching for the DMSO instead of pain killers post surgery. Thank you!!!
Reminds me of how Marijuana was demonized with the advent of to invention of Nylon by the DuPont Family's chemical company, then primarily used in it's fibrous form for rope manufacture, especially for the US Navy; didn't NSAIDS (I can't remember mention of ibuprofen before 1980) check in about the same time as DMSO was being touted even on daytime talk show television?
I was introduced to DMSO back in the 1980's by a veterinarian. I had a dog that had developed mammary tumors and I told the attending vet that I would give her one surgery, and when the tumors came back she would be euthanized when they got large enough to ulcer, as is typical of canine mammary tumors. He did extensive surgery, removing as much of the mammary tissue as possible. In order to help the healing from such extensive resection, he prescribed DMSO topically along the suture line. It took some weeks, but helped her heal fully and she live another 8 years! My next experience with DMSO (aside from using it on horses sore ligaments) was a vet who shared with me his "snake bite remedy" which I keep on hand to this day: DMSO plus Furacin ointment, plus dexamethasone made into a poultice and applied to the poisonous snake bite. It absolutely prevents the sloughing that typically accompanies pit viper bites. I even had a 13 pound terrier struck by a copperhead in the throat, who required critical care for the overwhelming venom, but as first aid I made sure the poultice was applied and she recovered with no sloughing or scarring.
On another related subject: as I understand it the only human disorder that DMSO/MSM was approved for years ago was interstitial cystitis. Recently I have read that there is evidence that IC is connected to biofilms, or possibly cell wall-defective organisms or both in the bladder. Anything else come out about that? So many elderly people develop persistent bacteriuria, for which antibiotic therapy does more harm than good. Might DMSO help?
When I was working as a Thai massage therapist, I had several patients who were jockeys. They tend to be incredibly intelligent regarding their bodies. They told me about DMSO and how they used it on their horses after a race to facilitate recovery. That led to them using it on themselves. I was gifted with it several times, but I never used it. My initial research brought up the solvent issues, etc.
I remembered it was popular with the natural supplement community 20 yrs ago. It seemed suspect to me just the same. It wasn't until I worked with an informed holistic physician that took the time to educate and demonstrate the proper use of DMSO that I began to use it.
He took an old farmer with a lifetime of aches and pains, applied magnesium chloride gel all over and then took a cotton ball dipped in DMSO and dabbed it over the injured areas and tight muscle attachments. He then put the patient in a hyperbaric chamber. The chamber pressure plus the DMSO took the magnesium (#1 remedy of the old docs) to the bone. One treatment removed decades of chronic pain. Then I did the same protocol with stunning results.
I learned of its discovery in a different way. Namely, that a night watchman at a pulp plant noticed deer coming to munch on the piles of refuse each evening. The plant chemist heard about it and made his own observation. It was only the elderly deer and they only munched on one of the 3 piles. Intrigued and knowing that animals have innate wisdom, he studied and tested and was led to the discovery of DMSO. The FDA permits the infusion of it into women's bladder tissues when chronic infections leave the tissue raw and extremely painful. I can't think of any tissue more vulnerable, but this powerful 'solvent' resolves it in one treatment. I've seen it work in many of my elderly patients. Would I label it the miracle cure for any and every thing? That is a red flag to me. I think there is a reasoned middle-ground approach. (for instance, with the recurring bladder infections, if the patient would avoid sugar, they would remain healthy, but once they drifted back, the infections returned, With arthritic conditons, an anti-inflammatory diet will often cure the problem. Transdermal magnesium cures a host of issues. DMSO is no longer needed.) I would include it in my top 10 without a doubt! Great article!!!
I keep DMSO by my bed, in case of heart attack or stroke -- will take a swig. I wish I could use it regularly for various things, such as varicose veins...but since I take a few prescription meds, I can't use it. That's a bummer. If I ever get off these meds, I'll definitely use it.
You can't use DMSO if you take prescription meds? I'm wondering if that just applies to some meds? I take a thyroid med (T3) and a binder but I don't take them at the same time I take DMSO or does that matter?
My understanding is that DMSO makes everything go far deeper into the body, so DMSO not to use when on those. I take Synthroid & a mild BP med. I'll have to ask on the DMSO telegram group again, to be sure, but that's what I understood them to say. I'll report back what I find out. If you've been using it that way, maybe it's okay.
I checked this out on a DMSO telegram group, one said they would still use DMSO, another said they wouldn't. So who knows. I might try a dab on a cluster of varicose veins, just to see if it helps.
My wife is weaning herself off unnecessary pharma drugs at the present time. Migraines are gone. Blood pressure is up so we need to work on finding a non pharma substitute.
Fred, about 10 years ago (I’m 64) my BP was considered “pre-hypertensive”. I’m not overweight, don’t smoke, walk three miles 5x a week and eat well but FWIW the entire maternal side of my family is on BP meds.
I started taking 240mg of magnesium glycinate before bed. It took several months but my BP returned to between 110/70 and 115-75 which has been normal for my whole life.
Two comments…one-if your wife wants to try this, have her ease into it. She may have some intestinal cramping at first. Two-I’ve wondered if my results would have been faster if, once used to it, I’d taken more at magnesium in the beginning to build up what must have been depleted???
For some, magnesium has the added benefit of relaxation/better sleep which is why I take it before bed.
Good luck weaning her off pharma. Work on eating Whole Foods/no processed foods and getting some exercise if you aren’t already. My husband and I don’t take ANY meds. We eat high protein, high fat (no oil), low carb (no refined sugar, no flour). Our carbs come from berries and plums! I’m 5’3” and weigh 112. I feel fantastic and I’m not going to follow up with “for my age”. I just feel great. We don’t go to the dr…that seems to help the most😂😂😂
I know what you mean about doctors. At my last checkup they refused my request for an antibody test but instead offered me a shingles shot, pneumonia shot, a flu shot and a Covid shot. My reply was no, no, no and NO.
Thanks for the great suggestion. I looked it up and it looks promising. Blood pressure med is one of those she wants to keep for now and she is not open to experimentation on her body. So I will see if her BFF can work with her as well as she is further ahead on weaning herself off of Pharmaceuticals.
Maybe she can start by supplementing some magnesium while monitoring the BP to see if it starts easing downward. I wouldn’t want to use both the medication and Mg without monitoring…but perhaps it would make a compelling argument for trying to taper off. Best wishes on this journey. ❤️
I want to report the success of DMSO + ivermectin in treating my toenail onychomycosis. My left great toenail had a longstanding fungal infection and looked grotesque measuring 1/2 inch in thickness. My wife was so disgusted by the appearance that she wanted me to see a podiatrist to get the toenail surgically removed. I started applying daily DMSO gel + veterinary ivermectin paste. Immediately I started seeing color changes in the nail going from white to orange to red to brown and eventually black and at the same time the nail started becoming thinner and loosening from its underlying attachment. After two months the now shriveled and necrotic previously-infected nail completely detached revealing a normal appearing new nail growing in the nail bed underneath.
Was just reading your recent Tylenol post, which mentioned this article.
I was in a car accident almost 3 months ago. I had no significant injuries other than a sprained thumb, although my car was totaled. I used DMSO gel on the hand and base of the thumb several times a day for two or three weeks, along with wearing a splint for a month or so. There was minor swelling and bruising, but the DMSO managed the pain well enough that I didn't feel the need to take acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
I read your articles on DMSO and was excited to give it a try on my heel. I went to our local Seed & Feed and bought DMSO 99% for horses and farm animals. I was dx with Achilles tendonopothy with a bone spur and acute calcanial deposit. I had a Tenex procedure done by an Orthopedic Specialist. He was able to remove some of the calcification, but said it was the worst he had seen (he is a doctor for the Sacramento Kings and several other professional sports teams). Two years post-surgery and I still had very significant inflammation all around my heel and ankle. I had tried everything from PT, acupuncture, stretching, shock therapy, castor oil packs and every sort of anti-inflammatory supplement on the market! I was very frustrated that I would never really be able to walk more than short distances. I started the DMSO as soon as I got home from the store. I applied it directly from the roller bottle onto the entire heel and ankle area. I have been doing it 5-6 times per week (1x day) and have seen miraculous improvement! The inflammation has gone down by 75%. I have more mobility in my ankle and fit in closed heel shoes! It is unbelievable! I have been walking about a mile several times a week and do not have the usual pain and discomfort. I have noticed that my skin appearance around my heel and ankle has changed- it's a bit dry and wrinkly- so I stop using it for a day. I am so excited to continue using DMSO and hope to be able to wear some of my shoes again! Flip-flops are great for the summer, but I' excited to wear something besides clogs over the Winter months! Thank you soooo much for taking the time to write these articles about the benefits of DMSO!
MWD, I am beyond grateful to have gotten access to your writings. Words simply cannot express how important your work is, and I now have a far more optimistic view of both my future and society's, now that I know about the miracle medicine DMSO and the word is getting out. I've used it recently and had good results on headache concerns, and am super excited to see what it can do for my eye floaters and nearsighted vision. Thank you ever so much!
I purchased DMSO in Australia since reading your first article. I perused some understanding of what the AUS product might be. All product said 99.9% pure. I investigated medicinal routes for purchase, and eventually was denied purchase for some reason. Eventually I found 99.9% pure from Big W, and another industrial retail store who charged 100% more for the same product. I ordered both, and each packet arrived with identical labelling, as the same distributor was the only distributor.
On the label in AUS it says “Poison”. I rang the number provided and asked what poison meant in relation to DMSO and they where completely naive about the product and could not give me any advise about what the poison warning was for. I was interested in taking it orally but have not done so because of the lack of information in AUS.
I had pretty serious surgery in February this year and have recovered very well considering. I am 70 years old. I have been using the DMSO topically on the Key hole surgery and drain hole scares. The scares have been disappearing dramatically over the past 2 weeks of DMSO use. I have several 50+ year old compound fracture injuries, and these seem to have a reduced in arthritic pain since, but time will tell as they are very old injuries. My nighttime dreams seem particularly lucid as well.
After showing articles you have written and discussing DMSO with friends, virtually every AUS person has retreated into the absent voice about DMSO in AUS. They seek only to undermine my suggestions with fear rhetoric. I am Un Vax’d, and No one in AUS is un vax’d … well nearly.. so the hypnosis of obedience to the narrative is suffocating in AUS; but my kids are un vax’d too. My daughter exclaimed the other day whilst shopping that my breath stank. I cheered telling her that the DMSO must be working, so she bought me some nice perfume and a packet of Mouth wash gels suggesting it was a good idea. I am happy to explore DMSO for a longer time. All seems well here except that the Poison warning is a bit stressful as the AUS information pretty much says Do Not Take. But, AUS is an unquestioning hypnotised clone after USA directives.
Also unvaxxed Aussie. I wouldn't worry about the Poison label, that's coming from the corrupt TGA (96% funded by pharma) - they approve poisons like pfizer ,Moderna & Astrazenica and make more natural remedies jump through hoops to get approval. I am also using a DMSO available in Australia that's labelled poison - Bioactive Healthcare. My friend is taking it internally with no problems. Where I am, lots of people are awake or waking up and interested in alternatives to pharma
I am in Aus and just received my bottle today - brand is Swan & Mantis. I saw the "poison" label and "not for therapeutic use". I had a chuckle because I immediately thought of the raw milk situation in this country where it has to retail as "bath milk" because raw milk is so terrible we all are very likely to die if we drink it! Bathing in it is OK apparently.
Oh and of course I thought of how the TGA is such a corporation of unsullied reputation, with all drugs and vaccines carefully tested and scrutinised ("we trust the manufacturer's testing regimen").
But I mainly bought for elderly parents with many aches, pains, arthritis, Diabetes related nerve issues, glaucoma, macular degeneration - and I'm wondering how I will convinve them to take "poison".
I’ve been using DMSO on a varicose vein in my leg and on the arthritis in my left thumb for about a week, since reading your last article on DMSO. I haven’t notice much improvement yet in my thumb, but the varicose vein is noticeably smaller. I live an hour away from medical services and plan to keep DMSO on hand to use immediately in case of something more serious like a stroke or heart attack while I get to a hospital. I have also sent these articles to a good friend who just suffered a mini-stroke last week. Hopefully he will try it. Thank you MWD!
May I ask how you’re using DMSO for your varicose veins? Do you rub it directly on the skin where the veins are? Do you use the 99.9% DMSO? Diluting it? Once a day, for how long? Id appreciate any advice you can share.
There should be a book about how exactly one uses this miraculous agent. I read the book Healing With DMSO by Amandha Vollmer. How wonderful this works but she is not specific. If I have a heart attack what do I do? I even went on Youtube to see what people are saying. If anyone can recommend a book that actually tells you how to apply it, how much to use, how often. I would appreciate it.
I got her book a few weeks ago. Has good info and she mentions in the beginning she will include dosages later in the book but as far as I can see, she never does.
I got the book, "DMSO Decoded" which does a much better job of giving guidance on physical illness or conditions that need healing and dosages and formulas to use. Much better book in that regard
I read Amandha’s book too and still dont feel like I understand how to implement DMSO specifically to my issues. I tried the 70% gel on my varicose veins that STH (above comment) used on her veins. Used it every day for 2 weeks….didnt help at all. Not sure what Im doing wrong…
Same here. Mine aren't really all that advanced, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference though I've taken it quite regularly over a couple of weeks. Since the 99% gel is rather uncomfortable as far as I'm concerned, I use 70% DMSO with Aloe Vera instead now. I wonder if it would help to take it orally? Or perhaps add an essential oil that is good for blood circulation? I found that cypress, juniper, helichrysum (curry tree), and vetiver are good for that. I'll probably try...
The book with all the lifesaving information is called "The One Minute Cure," which cures virtually all diseases. and has been suppressed by Big Pharma since the 60's because natural "Cures" cannot be patented and turned into "Cash Cow" drugs for Big Pharma to make their usual $Billions from, that is- "The One Minute Cure" by Madison Cavanaugh, second edition.

Actually mine are considered minor per vascular doc. I appreciate the tips you gave me though. I guess DMSO isnt a miracle for everything for all of us. Everyone is so different. Have a peaceful weekend STH.

I was recently discussing DMSO with a young pediatric general surgeon resident at a top 20 med school. I He said they use DMSO to kill cells in their research work. Any idea what he could have been referring to? Stronger concentration?
I am pulling out of a very faulty memory bank, but I thought the upper end concentration that would not kill blood cells was c. 30%. My clinical notes are 40+ years old, so I probably couldn't find those references. It was LONG before the internet.
I had a nasty foot rash that nothing would help. I used DMSO and immediately the next day all the blisters broke and in a few days, it all peeled off and was like new. DMO also stoped the itching immediately. I swear by it.
I stopped getting spinal epidurals. I use DMSO daily for multiple things. I injest about a full dropper for pain. (A little garlic like breath) I've mixed it 50/50 with distilled water to use with a nebulizer, I put some in coconut oil to rub on my back for more pain relief.
Soon, corticosteroids will be seen as malpractice. Degenerative joints leqd to injections, which leads to further degeneration, which leads to replacement$. They should be an intervention of last resort. Since I learned about DMSO, I have injected exactly zero steroids.
Half teaspoon of DMSO in water and 30 minutes later my usually high blood pressure(148/90) went down significantly to 109/70. That’s way better than the meds I used to take (Edarbyclor) and not sure how long the effect lasts but will keep testing my BP and report back. I got the idea after reading the substack on GI treatments and people taking it orally then tried it. Figured from other posts by the MWDr that it relaxes and expands blood vessels and it sure looks like it does! Hoping no bad side effects but thinking maybe a small dose morning and night might be a solution to keep pressure in normal range 🙏🏻. Love the idea as at 73 years of age perhaps it helps my tendons that I use daily for golf too?
I take a capful of DMSO with a capful of 3% food-grade hydrogen peroxide and swish in the mouth and spit it out every evening. I have great confidence in the preventive benefits of DMSO for overall body health. As well, my teeth are healthy and my gums do not bleed.
For topical pain relief, and healing, add castor oil to the DMSO regimen. 70% Castor Oil and 30% DMSO. Castor oil provides the healing, and DMSO supercharges the absorption of the castor oil.
Boy DMSO is SO amazing! It has clearly anti-viral effect (herpes in my case), and recently it even helped to regain hearing, which is terribly affected by the shedding.. Just pity DMSO got rather expensive and not all health food stores and even online health suppliers do not carry it
I started using DMSO (always topically, as its absorption is so rapid and complete; mucosally for the nose/sinuses, but significantly diluted) consistently for more and more problems, esp. musculoskeletal, skin, and sinus problems, starting maybe 10-12 yrs ago
DMSO made me stink too but my wrist was in really bad shape and it was either wrist surgery or DMSO. It was a miracle for my wrist. I also use it on my knee which I had surgery. Its a little rough on the skin but it works like a miracle.
We've been applying DMSO cream for some time off and on, and never worried about putting on a clean shirt after. Have had no problems, and have had significant pain relief! Plastic, on the other hand, will be destroyed by it. I tried it in a cheap little nebulizer, and it ate the nebulizer. LOL!
This summer I was led (by the Lord), in a curious way, to try combining DMSO with cod liver oil,.. this in the wake of having developed extreme knee and hip pains that felt a lot like I imagined arthritis would. (only on the right side though some how). I took a teaspoon of DMSO in Orange Juice with 2 large capsules of Cod Liver oil and went to bed. That night my knee and hip did not awaken me, and the next day I had no pain at all. This after just one dose! The best news is that, though I only take the DMSO and Cod liver oil intermittently, the hip and knee pain has not returned. I hope this might be helpful information for you!
I started out smelling pretty bad (according to my wife!) when using topical DMSO but over a few weeks (she loves me a lot...) it diminished to almost completely unnoticeable. Which A Midwestern Doctor has mentioned does happen for many people.
I use a 50% dilution and I'm one of those who finds it stings like hell. However, that also has diminished to about a tenth or less than I started from. Hardly irritating at all, regardless of applying it to a new area.
I've been using it topically on a really stiff neck I've had for over 40 years after an injury. Initially it started aching badly for about four days but in the same way as it does if I've had some kind of "body work" done on it (massage etc.). Then it slowly improved by about 80-90% over a few weeks. I attribute that to it feeling as if it was suddenly going through a range of motion that it doesn't normally go through. I am guessing that's something to do with pain reduction resulting in my nervous system not blocking the movement - that's a real physiological behaviour.
After research, we use DMSO for our daughter with Down syndrome . We have seen improvement in her verbal and social activity.
Also, my son-in-law was burned by gasoline in a flash fire accident and my daughter called me to come quick. I went back over my notes in the 5 minute drive to their house where I began administering DMSO and aloe vera 50/50 mixed to his face, neck, hands and arm. I also used sodium chlorite to neutralize the acid on his skin caused by burns and then washed it off after 5 min. That relieved much of the pain.
But along with God’s healing power, the DMSO/aloe was the miracle solution. For 3 days, we debraided/cleaned 3 times a day, and applied the solution. Then we switched to a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid that draws in water and, I’m telling you, there is no scarring! I wish I could post pics.
We have also used DMSO on kitchen burns and it’s really hard to believe how quickly it works.
I have a low back molar that dentist said was probably infected under the tooth. Sad he was kind of worried about that. Doesn’t hurt. Eventually I’ll have it removed. Meanwhile, DMSO and carnivore diet is what I’m doing. I’m doing so much better.
Four years ago I was fatigued in pain and couldn’t even walk the mailbox. Now, I’m exercising, happy, no pain, No fatigue .
Doctor told me for years ago that this was all just old age and that I should learn to manage it. I was 57 and that did not sit well with me. Of course he put me on statins and high blood pressure pills, and pain meds. I only took the BP pills.
Went to another doctor and he found two tick borne illnesses. That doctor died.
I was on my own.
I finally figured it all out.
It’s been a journey.
So grateful for you as you put me on the path to using DMSO.
DMSO undoubtedly cured a painful varicocle affecting my left testicle which I had since I was 16 years old until 42 years old. I applied it topically to my scrotum once or twice per day in an attempt to cure the varicocele, benefit fertility and health, and for "moderate" to severe pain. I am being very conservative with my "moderate" pain report, as it consistently felt like one typically would feel about one half hour after being kicked in the balls, only for 26 years straight. Within 15 to 30 minutes of the first application the pain completely subsided, and returned to a lesser degree in about 12 hours. An additional application caused the pain to subside for another 12 hours, returning at an even lesser degree. An additional application caused the pain to subside for 24 hours, and again returned at a much lesser degree. An additional application caused the pain to subside for 48 hours, and upon returning, it was very mild. After one additional application, the pain never returned again. It was about a week before I even thought I possibly felt something mildly uncomfortable, but I wouldn't even call it pain, and it may have been psychosomatic. I have yet to use ultrasound or other imaging, but the formerly palpable "bag of worms" (enlarged veins) are without a doubt completely gone. If I *think* I feel something undesirable, or at least once per week if I don't feel anything at all, I will prophylactically apply DMSO to maintain the obvious health benefits, as it seems to be curative, and I'm not running a study on myself to see if the condition remains in remission; I will have kids someday and that's why I refused surgey, as I won't gamble with modern medicine possibly butchering me irreversibly. I always knew a cure existed and I always thought of DMSO, but I was still under the fear spell from the propaganda lying that DMSO is harmful. Whenever modern medicine tells you there is no cure for something, beware. As the good doctor's remarkable post accurately explains, DMSO is one of the most important healing medicines in the world, but the FDA and their globalist puppetmasters tried to murder DMSO, and my unborn
I want to reveal a formula with DMSO that I have discovered on my own because I like to experiment with new ingredients. “Do you have any lines or wrinkles you want to smooth out or get rid of . Get some pure as you can Hyaluronic acid and put on clean skin , like try your upper lip , then put 40% DMSO with aloe Vera gel or juice on top of the HA and watch the magic happe
Thank you so much for sharing this information on DMSO. I recently tried some in a roll-on form I purchased commercially, on my husband’s diabetic neuropathy feet. After the first few applications, he began to get feeling back in his feet. This, after 9 years of basically numb feet.😳 We are so pleased to have discovered this wonderful substance!! Thanks again for sharing!! 🙏🏻
I have lupus intersistitial cystitis. I haw been doing the MMS / DMSO bath once a week. It seems to be helping. I also use a douche bottle (silicone) during the bath.
After all modern, Western treatments failed for my high-grade, urothelial carcinoma (bladder/urinary tract cancer - 10 recurrences with spread to urethra and both ureters), I began using a 50% DMSO solution, on my own, in my bladder for 20-25 minutes (interstitial cystitis protocol, but 180ml instead of 50ml). The results have been amazing, thank you Lord Jesus. Medical answer was to perform an advanced, radical cystectomy, meaning surgeon takes everything but my right kidney and urethra (post prostate), to include all pelvic lymphnodes - barbaric. The Lord God said, "No."
DMSO is known to be cytotoxic to cancer, and it's being proven out in my own treatment. I do 2x/wk installations, after high-dose intravenous vitamin C treatments (also cytotoxic to cancer at very-high cellular concentration levels). DMSO theoretically transports the IVC into the cells for the double effect.
All of my symptoms have disappeared, including kidney pain and tightness around prostate. I do allow DMSO to sit in my urethra for 5 minutes, and then go into a strange, yoga-like position for 15 minutes with my feet on a vibration plate, to get the solution 'up' the urethras.
I used it last week for a infection that would not heal. It healed in X3 days. I was in so much pain that was ongoing. Drs at a loss couldn't help. I highly recommend dsmo it's amazing! Thankyou good Dr🙏
This experience very minor as a health matter but shows how potent DMSO can be.
I had a notch in my nose since seven years old. Long scary wart hanging down from nose. Doctor burned it off twice, didn't work. Volleyball in the face at recess knocked it off, bled, gone for good. But left a notch behind. Rim of nostril, right in front. Not even that bad cosmetically but a missing piece.
DMSO orally, a teaspoon a day for two months. Did not apply anything topically to face. The nose is complete 65 years later. Cartilage, matching fresh skin, all there as if it never happened.
Also fixed my knees, weak tendon damaged wrist, vanished a 40 stitch scar above my knee (stitched in ER by Dr. Yoho), all sorts of positive effects.
I did an acne trial - thin coat of horse paste on my face, covered with DMSO. Face was beautiful the next day, but I haven't felt the need to repeat the experiment.
This is fabulous to see! I've been using DMSO for over a year now and I have 2 gallons in backstock, so critical do I find this substance.
It's helped with so many aches, pains, injuries, and with helping other substances get further into my skin when desired (like CBD for pain, chlorine dioxide for infections, castor oil for joint pain, magnesium for muscles).
I have been using DMSO for nearly a year and I will always have some in the house. I have over a yard of scars and all have softened with DMSO even though they are years old. One scar on the back of my neck, which has been operated on 3 times over the last 30 years, was really twisted and tight and my spine was out of alignment. Since using DMSO the scar has softened and untwisted and is not nearly as noticeable. I used it on a skin infection very effectively. Because it carries whatever you put with it deep into the skin, I have used tea tree oil on foot /nail fungus and then sprayed with DMSO and it has helped a lot. I’ve used it on my dogs because It’s safe if they lick it. I haven’t been made aware of bad breath but at times I can smell something different on my body. I’m not sure others smell it, but it’s a small price to pay.
Robert, I am glad you are on board with DMSO. I make up a topical solution of 50% Magnesium Chloride in distilled water and add 1% DMSO to improve absorption. A muscle cramp will resolve in less than 15 seconds post application. My patients love it. No adverse responses.
Anecdote: my 60+ knee recently starting giving me fits for no discernible reason. It was getting worse. My chiro suspects ACL or PCL tear and sent me for an MRI. While waiting for the results, but I stumbled upon an article about DMSO. My husband happened to have a roll on bottle, vet prep, diluted with aloe gel that he had used for a detox protocol. I slathered it on my knee, went to bed and .... 4 days later I have yet to get another of the "gotcha" pains that had been getting more frequent when I straightened my knee. I'm still waiting on the MRI results.
I had been rubbing Frankincense eo on my knee. I'm now applying the Frankincense, and a magnesium gel, after the DMSO twice a day.
Let me add that horsey people, including race horse veterinarians, have been using DMSO for many years. It is front and center of most performance horse operations. I think this is because that horse leg injuries can be notoriously hard to treat because well, you can't really tell a horse to stay off that leg etc.,,,,so effective topicals or other noninvasive treatments, like DMSO, are really important. Bascially the veterinarian side of DMSO should give the humans, who might want to try it, confidence because for many years it has been used on horses, many very high dollar horses, with no downside that I've heard of. After listening to this podcast, I'm finally going to try it on myself since I have a big toe that will never be the same after multiple injuries (horses!) and surgery.
I used DMSO decades ago to treat my mother's and grandmother's arthritis. I still use it now in my acupuncture practice; this post is a most comprehensive entry on DMSO. Many thanks.
I've been using DMSO for almost 60 years (my best friend's dad, in the 1st grade, was a Veterinarian) and I still have bottles of Chlorophyll & Mint pills all over the place, to blunt the smell, from the lower refinement days. Now all you have to do is buy the "Non-diluted 99.995% Low Odor Pure Pharma Grade Liquid." I have it on my knee (with little cartilage left) and a scrape on my wrist as we speak. I've been buying it in gallon jugs for decades because I give SO much of it away (I'm in the fitness industry and manufacture the squat device called the Manta Ray). I've had many customers who were Olympic and pro athletes and one gold medal winner said: "there would be no serious Olympic records without DMSO" :)
I even have a text doc printout I give people, but what you all need to know (I haven't listened to the interview yet) is, NEVER put DMSO on the pad of a bandaid and cover your skin with it wet! Let it air dry THEN cover it, if need be... DMSO is just too strong for a "covered wet" application (trust me, I found out the hard way :) Another tip: if you're in a hurry to dress a wound, or to just get dressed soon after application, apply Arnica Gel over DMSO and it will not only dry much more quickly, but Arnica is a great healing aid as well.
I'm SO happy to see this topic addressed here! I've always called DMSO, "the miracle shit".
I've read your informative words Mr Midwestern Doctor and have decided to trial iDMSO on people I know who need the help.
I tried it, dismissed itt but then reframed my findings.
No it was not instant ( I did feel a short lived relief) but no I didn't consider my own mantra. If it's natural and does no harm remember all healing takes time and patience.
I was reading one of your recent articles while rubbing DMSO on my knee. That only happened because of your extensive work publishing information on DMSO. Thank you! Michael Framson"
"Thank you for all of your digs on positive use of dmso. I have healed my shoulder injury and continue to take it internally as well as a lower dose with vitamin C in my eyes
Hello, my daughter and I have been debilitated with long covid since 2020. We are an EDS family, just her and I struggling to survive as best we can. We use dmso-cds for our eds pain, and also over our livers for detoxing from mold.
I have been following orthomolecular medicine for many years but you had something to add to that. DMSO has transformed my many symptoms after a brain, head and neck injury and csf leak and I am most grateful.
Wanted to share with you that I’ve been using DMSO on a Q-Tip in my ears and somehow it’s quieting the tinnitus. I still have ringing but it’s quieter. Only on day two.
You know I love this stuff. The day of my surgery, I rolled DMSO around my wounded boob and had immediate pain relief. This was just after I got home from the hospital. [my husband] was amazed at my results
I'm going to start with an anecdote on another piece you wrote: I used two drops of DMSO on a hemorrhoid I had for years. It wasn't massive, but it wasn't small either. And after a single dose, it shrank to the size of a grain of sand. That was over a month ago.
Love dmso. Helped me heal from Remdesivir poisoning and all the other drugs that injected me with the I had no knowledge of. After detoxing, it definitely helped heal the lung scar tissue. Amazing stuff!
[comment from me..this is really interesting because he saw remdesivir would put people into a cell danger like response state where it was harder for their body to syththesize protein and they did not respond as well to prolotherapy]
It takes up to 4-5 months to heal ear ailments. Make sure your ears are clean. Clean out wax then use dmso. It worked for my dad [in reference to tinnitus]
My sister has been using DMSO for floaters for like a month and she has almost nothing now. In the beggining she did it every 2 days bc it gave her some kind of little burning at first but now she does it every day. She mixed 10 drops of castor oil with 1 drop of DMSO when she started, now she added one more of DMSO. But she was using it also for a tooth for almost two weeks, pure of course and few drops each time, that may have help too with the floaters, I think.
I had a retinal bleed in my R eye in 2022, I used manuka honey eye drops and lowered my BP . It went away after a couple of months. I had a smaller eye bleed in the L eye in 2023, same tx same result. About 6 weeks ago I had a large grey out of my R eye and immediately used 25% DMSO gel (Jacobs Lab) and a little aloe on my eyelid which completely cleared it in less than 5 minuets. (I was racking up a lot of screen time.) About 6 days later a smaller grey out in the R eye and again I immediately used 25% gel on my closed eyelid. No issues since then. Thanks you for the amazing info you have provided for DMSO! I pretty much have had so much success with various issues using DMSO topically and I am so appreciative for your extensive information!
I may have accidentally made an eye story for you. My husband's eyesight had been deteriorating steadily and quickly. He is 43 and was up to bifocals. I had just started him on selenium (600 mg of the Youngevity brand daily). He had an ingrown toenail, so I was putting DMSO on it three times daily. In two weeks, his eyes healed so much that he no longer has to use glasses except to look at things very close up (he's farsighted). Could that much DMSO have impacted his eyes/interacted with the selenium?
I used DMSO on my eyes I couldn’t tell pink from orange or red differently. They all looked almost the same in a game with colors was almost always wrong. And got laughed at a lot . 9 months ago I started putting DMSO in my eyes one drop 3 to 4 times a week 100% strength. I now see the colors very well. I did a eye exam and I usually read the middle line, I read the bottom line with each eye . Thanks for having a article on DMSO and the eyes [received via email]
I used to struggle with uveitis and for years had synechia (adhesions) in my eyes related to my (now past rheumatoid arthritis). I used DMSO for a couple of months after your initial articles and haven’t had any bouts of uveitis since, despite engaging in the reading style that often triggers synechia induced spasms (and then iritis). Since all my symptoms have resolved I stopped using steroid drops and haven’t had anyone look again for synechia that I finally don’t feel anymore... doesn’t seem like much of a point. I read for a living so I really enjoy using my eyeballs better — James Miller MD
I just aggravated the spondylolisthesis in the L-5 area to the point it radiated down my left leg. Treated it with arnica/castor oil/peanut oil with DMSO applied after, and it was gone in a couple of days.
I started using it a month ago after reading your posts ! I d had multiple spinal surgeries and this had been truly life changing. I also use it on our 8 month old puppy who has bilateral elbow dysplasia. Thank you for educating us!
I stopped getting spinal epidurals. I use DMSO daily for multiple things. I injest about a full dropper for pain. (A little garlic like breath) I've mixed it 50/50 with distilled water to use with a nebulizer, I put some in coconut oil to rub on my back for more pain relief.
I had a nasty foot rash that nothing would help. I used DMSO and immediately the next day all the blisters broke and in a few days, it all peeled off and was like new. DMO also stoped the itching immediately. I swear by it.
Thank you for all the incredible info you share. I have been using DMSO for pre-cancer spots on my face and one is completely gone, the other is about 50% gone.
Also, one of the ladies in my trial for cataracts, her floaters have completely vanished. Cataracts are still there, but she's noticed a dramatic change as they were present all the time and now: nothing.
I had just started working with DMSO in my patients, and after your EENT article came out I noticed ghosting in the right eye [due to a monocular diplopa there]. I mixed up a 20% solution and used a couple drops in my affected eye. I woke up the next day and it was corrected. To this day, if I notice anything off with my vision, DMSO is my go to.

Interesting anecdote since using dmso orally my tonsils started to grow back after being removed as a kid - not necessarily a good thing but curious all the same
100 ml of clean water and two teaspoons of dmso wait 5 mins and imbibe - you can swis gargle or just shot right down
It's been nothing short of a game changer for me. I used it as an oil pulling liquid (25% food grade peroxide, 25% dmso & 50% distilled water) (swish and spit) a balm spread cream (80/20 mix of almond oil and dmso) on my diaphragm, upper & mid-back, and upper front shoulder area.

DMSO was in every horse barn in the 1970’s any lameness, first got treated by rubbing down the horses legs. We were all using it without gloves, just giving the lags a massage. Weird that you could taste it the minute it got on your skin, sort of garlic like. But I knew at that time people were also using it for arthritis and other health issues. You could buy it over the counter in any health food store. So i grew up with the product was popular.
I have been using 40% DMSO for 3 wks and I have no more ink blotch hallucinations where my central vision was severely compromised and I could not drive at night even with my glasses on three weeks later I can drive at night in the rain without my glasses on and I have no more impairment on my central vision so I see all these other therapies, but mine is the dry kind of macular degenerationbut in my opinion, it’s almost gone in three weeks so go figure
I had a conjunctival cyst on my eye for 3 days. On day 2 I asked my Girl to have a look in my eye for it felt I had an eyelash in it...I left it until the 3rd day then remembered & hadn't really used DMSO before. Aaaanyway, I dabbed a 50% mix on my eyelid & it was gone by morning.
Yes. We have tried DMSO. It has worked for finger RA and plantar faciitis mixed with som topical Hydrocortisone cream and done well, but has not moved the needle on her hips.
In the past I've found that the longer you've suffered from a condition, the less likely DMSO is going to help. It works great as a topical analgesic for my muscle pulls, joint aches, etc., but has had no effect on the neuropathy I've been suffering from for years.
I've treated it with Red Light Therapy and DMSO cream, which slightly alleviated pain while walking. This allowed me to add walking on treadmill to my routine.
I used 70% DMSO and Hydrocortisone cream on my neck for a C4/C5 flare up and it made a huge difference. I had PT and chiropractor adjustments as well. I was getting better and stopped the DMSO for a few days and pain came back. It made me realized it was truly making a positive impact. I used 70% DMSO on her hips with little success.
We have been using several of the therapies you have informed us of. My husband has been doing UBI with ozone. I had hoped it would help his Alzheimer's. I believe brought on by 5 years on Lupron that depleted his testosterone and his ability to make it. Diagnosed because he has a family history and 2 Alzheimer genes. Idiot neurologist who diagnosed never checks to see if there could be another reason. After 12 weekly treatments, it did not appear to help with memory but he also has metastatic prostate cancer, so he continues to do it once a month. We started the DMSO and that seems to be working. I started putting 2/3 teaspoon DMSO with a teaspoon of galactose in his coffee each morning, which he sips between work out classes. He puts honey in his coffee so it masks the taste. I have decided to try without the galactose because it has become very expensive. ($120 for 7 oz) with all the other supplements he takes it adds up. If I see him digress without I will add it back in. I could see results but by afternoon he was getting very agitated (this was happening before I started the DMSO not because of it). I started giving him 2 teaspoons after breakfast in juice and again 2 teaspoons in the afternoon, with good results. I also make sure he has a healthy diet, organic, grass fed, etc. Is he cured? NO but he's functioning a lot better.
Had a terrible problem with colitis , cramping…the works…kept me near home for most of the a.m. started “ painting” my lower spine with DMSO for arthritis pain, and wonder of wonders…the colitis slowly disappeared! So now, I “paint” my lower tummy and back in the mornings…am totally off meds..!!
Oh and yes…also ingest DMSO in half glass water , 1/4 tsp, or more , each morning.
1. Our dog had a large stacked tumor behind her ear that was bleeding incessantly. We had to wait 6 weeks before the vet could fit her in to remove it, so I decided to start applying dmso as I was in the middle of reading the dmso series. I soaked an organic cotton swab with 100% dmso and added a dime-sized blob of aloe and three drops of iodine, then held the swab to the tumor for about 1 minute. I followed this procedure 5 days per week for 6 weeks and the tumor was almost gone and minimally bleeding by the time she went yesterday to have it removed. I wish I could post the before & after photo here as it was such an astonishing improvement and has convinced several of my family members to “buy in” to dmso’s healing powers. (See before & after photo here: https://substack.com/@bwarne0/note/c-166285724?r=1b45hf&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action)
2. My son fractured his ankle playing soccer and the doctor said it would most likely take 7 weeks to heal. I applied a 70% DMSO/30% aloe mixture with a soaked organic cotton swab twice per day for three weeks until his first follow-up appointment. At his three-week appointment, he was declared healed and was given full release for physical activity.
3. My husband applied the 70/30 dmso/aloe roller from the dmso store to a worrisome mole. It took about 3 weeks of daily application for the mole to scab over and fall off.
4. I’ve been applying dmso/aloe to my varicose veins on my legs for about 8 weeks. I recently increased to 100% because I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. They are definitely starting to fade now. However, I was looking forward to my annual vision exam scheduled two weeks ago because my vision had started to become blurry. It turns out my vision had improved by .5 in my left eye and .25 in my right eye, and I needed a new contact prescription. I’m sure this is a result of my dmso use as my vision is horrible and never randomly improves.
At this point, I’ve successfully convinced my parents, sister, and in-laws to purchase and start using dmso for various issues. My mom has experienced immediate relief for her Morton’s neuroma. My husband jokes that he’s going to buy me a shirt that says “Do you even dmso, bro?”
Thank you so much for all of the time and energy you are pouring into this newsletter. You are very much appreciated!
I gifted a 70YO friend with some 99.9% DMSO in a glass jar.
After the first day of use:
“I've used the liquid topically and rested for an hour and pleased to say that I wasn't stiff on rising as I usually am.”
After three days of use:
“I'm administering the liquid daily and thus far have noticed a change in the sciatica symptoms, less intensity. Lower back pain more of a dull ache, not shooting pain as before.”
You are making a difference, doctor, and I’m happy to share information about this wonderful umbrella therapy with friends and family. Of course I share the precautions and protocol suggestions too, like applying it topically to clean skin in a concentration that the individual patient tolerates well. Thank you!
I’ve had great success using DMSO ( only rose scented without aloe vera) to reduce size of my prostate. I had an enlarged prostate - I am 79 - and had difficulty with nighttime urination. I started applying DMSO to the perineum every morning after my shower- after 3 months marked improvement in flow - now at 6 months almost no problem and flow is very good at night.
Using the rose scented cream DMSO has caused no problem - just make sure it is the one without aloe vera - no burning sensation! I apply some to my index finger after thorough cleaning of perineum in shower and spread on .
We are having the same wonderful experience with DMSO! We wish others who are caught on the medical industry merry go round would give it a try, especially for pain and wounds. Recently, we applied chlorine dioxide spray let it dry a bit, then added 70% DMSO gel to quickly heal road rash and swelling after a fall — miraculous!
If you are asking about use on livestock, I apply it directly to wounds— 70% with some added Betadine— (pour on, dab on, or use small spray bottle) and also some topically to their belly area and inner thighs where there is the least hair/wool. If they need an antibiotic, I use oral capsules and mix the powder with a small amount of the DMSO alone because I don't know if the iodine would degrade it, and use the DMSO/iodine mix directly on the wound at the same time.
For mastitis, spread the DMSO/iodine over the udder thoroughly.
I used a mixture of half DMSO and half 2 percent Lugol’s iodine on my knee when I wrenched it a couple years ago. It helped tremendously with the pain and it seemed to speed up healing. I couldn’t put the mixture on at night because it was so energizing that it kept me awake.
I also did ionic foot baths every few days, which helped with pain and probably sped up healing.
An update on my success with DMSO. As a treatment for arthritis in hands and wrists, it has enabled me to stop taking sustained release ibuprofen and additional paracetamol, plus the omeprazole that was prescribed to avoid side-effects. I had been taking these for over five years. I apply 70% DMSO several times a week, plus take DMSO and MSM internally. Once a week or so, I might experience an ache in the wrist that threatens to stop me sleeping, but an application of DMSO removes the ache within a minute or two, facilitating sleep.
DMSO was also helpful in the early stages of a serious wrench to my knee. But the knee remained painful, especially to kneeling, for over three months, and I eventually had x-rays and ultrasound. No remaining damage to ligaments was found but there was some excess fluid in the joint under the kneecap: the doctor was able to see the residual swelling that I had not identified myself when simply looking down at my knee. The doctor knew of no treatment options: he said that I simply had to wait and see if it would “heal itself”. He did suggest physiotherapy, but there was a month wait for a first appointment. I proceeded to apply DMSO twice daily again, specifically around that area. Within days the pain was reducing, and after a week I could kneel again without discomfort.
DMSO is also proving useful in the first aid kit for promoting healing of wounds and skin abrasions, which are not uncommon in our rural location and life-style.
WMD, you and others have often remarked that DMSO tastes bad: and so it did to me, when I first began taking it orally, perhaps about a year ago. Now, however, I find that it no longer tastes foul: it’s still bitter, but it also has a sort of sweet taste, a little like gin (but not alcoholic, of course!).
I have been involved in studying integrative medicine for about 10 years and have run a radio show for a year talking with people like the Midwestern Doctor on the air on various subjects. I have found the information that he posts is some of the best that is out there especially on DMSO. 10 months ago I sensed that I was losing my short term memory and was listening to a bunch of Dr. Thomas Levy's videos talking about high dose vitamin C and Methylene Blue. I had been on the high does vitamin C for about 10 months to get rid of my cataracts and by the way it worked. I started taking the Methylene Blue mixed with ascorbic acid while still taking high does vitamin C (High Dose is 20 to 30 grams a day) about 8 months ago and have found that my short term memory has improved substantially along with my cognition. I just started taking DMSO orally at a rate of 1 TSP in 4 oz of water along with two glasses of distilled water with 5 grams of sodium ascorbate each day for the past week and I have been amazed at how great I feel mentally and physically. By the way I turned 80 years old this past June. I will attempt to keep u up on any new changes that I find. Thank you Midwestern Doctor for all you do.
I take 16 drops of Meth Blue in the morning in distilled water with 1g of plain ascorbic acid and 16 more drops the same way at around 6pm with ascorbic acid. I take vitamin c throughout the day about 1700mg of encapsulated liposomal every 2 hours and I take 6 oz of distilled water with 5 g of sodium ascorbate in the morning after breakfast and 1 tsp of DMSO with 4 to 5 oz of distilled water 2 to 3 hours after breakfast and another 6 oz of distilled water with 5 g of sodium ascorbate 10 min after taking the DMSO in the afternoon. I use all the different types of vitamin C during the day. 1g Ascorbic acid with the Meth, 1 packet of Liv On liposomal in the morning 20 encapsulated liposomal through out the day till bed time and than 1 more packet of Liv On liposomal before bed. Don't expect you body to accept that much Ascorbic or sodium Ascorbic acid without having several bowel movements through out the day as it is cleared through you kidneys and bowels but the liposomal is absorbed by your fat cells and doesn't cause bowel problems so you might want to start off slow with the ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbic and use mostly liposomal as it is eaiser on your stomach. Using the Meth Blue is something you should start off with small doses like 5 to 8 drops until you see how your body reacts. I not sure how much DMSO I will ramp up to till I see how my body reacts to the current dose over the next month or so. If you interested in more info on vitamin C and Meth Blue you can find many videos that are very informative by Dr. Thomas Levy at the following link. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dr.+Thomas+levy+utubes&iar=videos&t=newext&atb=v375-1 Let me know how you do.. Bob N.
I’ve been in chronic pain for decades. I’ve been using DMSO with some relief ever since learning about it from this Substack. But, the relief I’ve been able to get so quickly and radically has come from addressing an UFG. I’ve been Keto, then Carnivore, then Animal-based Whole Foods, nothing has helped as much as addressing the UFG (upper fermenting gut) with VitC and Lugol’s Iodine!!
I've been using garlic in capsules whenever I feel any flu stymptoms and it always work for me. I take 5000 mg before sleep, one time, and 2000 mg for at least one more day, 3 times a day, with each meal, or until I feel the symptoms have gone. I also use some mouth spraying of colloidal sylver, or DMSO (70%) during the day.
My husband has never had pain before until this year (just turned 70), and he's the one who keeps getting bit by ticks. The DMSO helps against the pain, but I do wonder if there's something else wrong.
I was in pain like that, and would be awake all night because my legs would hurt if I didn’t move them often, and hurt like crazy when I did move them. I had pain in my neck, back and shoulders too, but the knees were the most devastating. Even though I knew it was bad for me I still took Advil, in as small quantities that I could tolerate. But luckily I found a good naturopathic doctor who tested me extensively and concluded that I had Lyme disease. I never had a positive test for Lyme, but she was able to figure it out from blood tests and my symptoms, also that I had been sick from a tick bite a few years before this started. I followed her protocol and am now recovered and pain free. I am also in my 70 s, but it turned out it was not just old age.
The dmso did help along with baking in the sun, but I also took specific herbs for Lyme along with some antibiotic. My real healing happened after I quit the antibiotics and just took the herbs.
I now use DMSO only before and after doing something that I know will hurt my knees. Personally I find DMSO more effective for the underlying issue than for the pain.
You are doing a great job and have saved me from a lot. I rubbed 4 drops of DMSO for only two days on my belly after many days of pain and nausea and now I am perfect, without taking any Omeprazole coz you didn't recommend it in an older article. Thank you.
I have chronic digestive issues that caused low back pain. I started taking psyllium and colostrum and coconut water. The pain is L4, L5 and also as things move through the colon. As things start moving, the pain only lasts a short time. I cannot even take a drop of zeta aid since it causes digestive pain and burning in colon and stomach. Salt, Vitamin C also do this. I go to a Gohl trained Chiropractor, which helps. And I put DMSO on my abdomen, every night. Things are getting better and I walk and lift weights. Foam rollers really help too! Do you think there is a correlation to spyder veins and varicose veins to these issues?
We seem to have handed it out to so many other folks that we've actually gone through quite a bit now one way or the other. Relatives horses, brother's coworker who melted his welding mask on the side of his face, friend with arthritis, friend with recent brain surgery, and the list goes on. :) And we use some ourselves both internally and externally depending on what the issue we are trying to address is. So it is very helpful to know that if we are keeping a few extra bottles around to have for ourselves and to share with others, there is no need to worry about it not being useful in the future.
Wanted to say that using Hydrogen water has helped my back, knee and should pains, mostly arthritic, degenerative immensely. i used to use dmso daily and now use it about once a week.
Third post on my very sore hip. First post reporting DMSO topically applied, AMD (A Midwestern Doctor) replied that it is hard to go that deep. Second post began one tsp 100% DMSO per 8 oz of water, while continuing naproxen. Physical therapy alone didn't resolve the pain. the meantime, I was going on a trip which required lots of walking so I ordered a wheelchair for the airports.
Third post is that the DMSO, along with continued exercises from physical therapy have worked!
I am trying to heal whatever is causing seizures in my dog. DMSO has improved her health tremendously but it also increased the seizures when I gave it (rubbed it on both sides of her neck) at the same time as her medicine (Phenobarbital.)
Now I am giving the DMSO in the middle of the day and the Phenobarbital morning and night. So far so good.
thank you very much - I have recommended and given DMSO to a number of people, and we're all experiencing wonderful results - thank you for your comment
I have been using DMSO for several issues over the last few months and am consistently amazed by its efficacy. My son had been suffering from a recurring scalp infection for years. We had tried so many alternative treatments! Two rounds of Rx antibiotics helped temporarily, but the infection would come back after 2 weeks. Before he left for college, I gave him a spray bottle of 50% DMSO combined with Lugols iodine, colloidal silver, and cassia hydrosol. I threw everything I had at it!! He said two applications of the spray has been enough to clear it by 90%. He was really impressed with how quickly it worked.
I have used a DMSO gel for the past several months to heal 3 diabetic ulcers on my left foot (they are now healed) and have had several DMSO IV infusions in hopes of improving the blood flow in my legs.
I have suffered from a bout of diverticulitis for about 3 weeks now after eating (regrettably) Chia seeds....I haven't had an issue in about 19 years, so honestly haven't thought about it but now I know Chia Seeds are the Spawn of Satan for my gut!! I have been applying DMSO to my abdomen...I think it has helped....but still situation is not totally resolved,, although the acute pain of a fes weeks ago has resolved so I think the Chia Seeds are hopefully gone.
Hi there Doctor, thank you so much for all of the information you’ve been posting about DMSO.
I’ve used it for muscle pain and it’s been astonishing how quickly and thoroughly it worked. I’ve tried it again for something else now.. tinnitus.
I’ve had this for years but this year it went off the scale in one ear. A really, really loud “static” sound which sounded and felt like my brain was fizzing. I was getting desperate as it wasn’t something I could distract myself from and the sound relief app in my phone wasn’t loud enough to cover it.
I’m only 4 days in but it’s receded into a different league. For most of the day it’s barely noticeable and one morning I woke up to silence! I thought at first I’d suddenly gone deaf until a heard birds singing.
I can’t begin to explain the relief, even if it stays at this level it’s a win for me. I was told by a consultant there was nothing that could be done about it so I am deeply grateful I came across you and your wonderful work giving these health treasures the light of day. Thank you.
Yes of course. I’m using a DMSO solution made up of 50% DMSO and 50 % pure distilled water. I’ve sprayed this inside my ear, on the side of my neck and the back of my neck just under the scalp line. (my neck has an issue too) It’s definitely working for me, the tinnitus hasn’t yet gone but it’s massively improved.
I’ve had no bad reactions to it but it’s always wise to patch test and as is always said consult with a professional if in doubt.
Interesting. I put DMSO on my foot for some arch pain before bed this week. I slept more fitful. May have to run an experiment. I’ve been using DMSO and after it dries, apply my red light. Seems to help. AMD promised some info on red light use with DMSO at some time.
.. I get shooting pains in the middle of the night from the head of my right 1st metatarsal. No other sn or sx so we conclude it is part of my peripheral neuropathy from chemo 10 years ago.
If I apply ~100% DMSO to the joint, wrap the foot in Saran wrap, and cover with a sock the pain is totally eliminated for the night. (I scrub new Saran with DMSO to remove any surface treatments and rinse/dry it before reuse to remove perspiration toxins.)
If I take 6 tsp of ~100% DMSO orally at bedtime, I do not need the foot application. To prevent tolerance from developing I do not take the oral dose on weekends so I still do the foot application then.
As an aside, I am considering the benefit of a one week DMSO holiday since I have been on it for at least a year now. Any MWD comments?
I made an exhaustive study of plastic wraps and their components which I have outlined elsewhere on MWD. I concluded that washed and reused Saran was fit for my purpose at age 82. If I were 32, I might think differently. Of note, there is a pure polyethylene food wrap made in Japan but it is not distributed in the US. There is also pure polyethylene electronics packaging tubing available in the US but a minimum (at least 2 lifetimes) order is over $100.
I haven’t even bothered to ask my doctor about DMSO, but did try 70% topical during a recent [microscopic colitis] flare. It did not seem to help, but I may try an oral dose if it flares again.
I've been using 70% DMSO gel and oregano oil (2x per week) on some moles. I *carefully* apply the dmso and then the oregano oil on top. That oregano oil is no joke!
It's been about 3 months now, and the moles are almost gone.
I will echo this. I've been applying a 50% solution with organic castor oil for 3 weeks now, to a few small moles with some skin tags around it. The skin tags are finally just falling off and the moles are getting smaller. I havent tried 99% but may try it.
A few months ago, I also had a similar problem with my left leg. The ankle and calf would swell immediately upon rising and morning shower.
Because I had a problem with an ulcer between my big toe and the neighboring one, I cut out the toe area of my sneakers. Which is now gone after treating it with DMSO and ivermectin cream.
Well, one day while cooking, a very heavy and sharp knife fell on the big toe. Immediately my sneaker filled with blood.
Oh no, now what? I hobbled to the bathroom and blotted the blood from my toe, and held some gauze there to stem the flow.
Finally I was able to get a bandage on it. After cleaning up the blood and washing my sneaker, I filled a small tub with warm water and Epsom salts, removed the bandage and soaked my feet for about 20 minutes.
Applied a new bandage and patted on some DMSO on my calves and around the wounded toe. (Been doing that for about a year now, patting DMSO on my calves, and my varicose veins have greatly diminished.) Went to bed and hoped for the best.
Well the next morning, to my surprise. Skinny ankle and no swollen calf. And it's been like that every day since. I call that a miracle.
I am hypothyroid for 34 years. I have recently started using DSMO for a knee injury (bakers cyst & lateral meniscus tear), and it is wonderful for relieving pain and I am hoping it will mean I can skip surgery. BUT I have also just had my best ever thyroid test results!! I am rubbing it on my leg, which is injured. I got pharmaceutical grade, made in Germany. But after done i rub my hands over my thyroid. I am currently on a lower than I usually take dose of thyroid (still full replacement), and as said the results are the best I have seen.
The thing I have noticed most recently is a reduction of fatigue. I used to indulge in a daily nap, then go to bed and sleep another 8-9 hours at night. Now, if I try to nap I just can't be bothered. I sleep my normal sleep at night and awaken refreshed. I do swipe the 70/30 over my thyroid area.
Last fall, DMSO worked a miracle on a badly bruised foot and on a painful hard blow to the shin. It was not possible to ignore the extremely fast pain relief (10 minutes!) and the stunningly fast recovery, things that I would have expected no less than a week.
Somehow yesterday doing yard work, I achieved two minor injuries:
My left wrist was stiff and painful and I could not rotate it much. This sort of injury in my experience takes 1-2 weeks to resolve. Probably from moving a cord of wood from one location to another as well as carrying a few large bulky solar panels and lotsa logs.
My right toe and foot near it swelled up, was painful to walk on, and started turning black and blue. No idea what caused it (boots?) but there it was.
DMSO works
The wrist
The wrist required 3 treatments over the day. Each time, the pain and stiffness subsided—not gone but obviously better. All while doing yet more work!
Applied once more the next day, there is only a minor lingering stiffness. This is not normal healing—it is never that fast. Never in my life do injuries of this sort improve so rapidly. One more application tonight, and it ought to be gone by tomorrow, I expect.
The toe
I did not think to treat the toe the night-of, so it turned all black and blue by the next morning—quite dark and obvious. One treatment and by end of day the discoloration was greatly reduced, swelling eliminated, and pain completely gone. Another treatment tonight and we shall see.
I buy my DMSO from the DMSOstore.com on Amazon. Use it two to three times a day for severe arthritis in my hands (thumb at palm area). It was very painful to try to "pinch" anything prior to using DMSO. Tried Voltaren, but it didn't help much. DMSO has been the ONLY remedy I've found to relieve my arthritis pain. And although I don't have restored strength in those joints, it's no longer painful for me to grasp items between my pointer and thumb.
Here's my routine: I wash and rinse my hands thoroughly first (We have a reverse osmosis water system, so I feel good that they are as clean as possible!). Then I apply the DMSO to the affected joints directly with my fingertips. It feels warm at first, which is soothing. I don't touch anything until the DMSO is completely dry - about 10 minutes. Following the application, discomfort is minimal or gone completely. If I get in hurry and skip the application, I have big regrets. So happy to have learned about DMSO from MWD!
To add one clarification: by "cure", I mean that the problems went away for a good while (a month or so).
Since then (5 weeks), I've had a slight flareup, which I believe is a provocation caused by some factor, e.g., a sensitive area that is reactive to, say, food or whatever. In particular, I think my bile duct possibly has scar tissue from a violent bicycle crash back in 2018 (mTBI also). It makes sense, and my internist actually suggested such a possibility based on another patient with a similar issue having suffered an impact.
So when I say "cure", I mean elimination of all symptoms, but not necessarily permanent. OTOH, any flare disappears right away with DMSO, so I am way ahead of the game.
Empty stomach works just fine for me. 3X a day.
I like taking it without food so that the fluid (16 oz at least), absorbs faster. By adding MgCl, KCl, NaCl (table salt), the fluid is also near the electrolyte balance of the blood, which further speeds absorption vs plain water.
I didn't realize that DMSO could drop BP. My aggressive use of DMSO in recent weeks (cured two chronic internal pains!) was associated with feeling rather unsteady and no visible veins in my hands, a violation of a lifetime of typical.
Interesting! I had terribly itchy underarms (for some reason) for a few weeks. Used DMSO 70/30 aloe Vera….have not worn deodorant since and no need! Glad to hear others have noticed the same.
That said, I will toss this here that I have been experiencing increasing muscle weakness over the last year, as my health started declining after I got a desk job (I've had desk jobs before, but never had this kind of weakening), but after using .25 ml dmso in my coffee every day or at least multiple times a week, my muscle strength returned after only 2 weeks. I was so happy I almost cried as I am my ailing and elderly mom’s only viable option to have an able bodied adult live with her so she doesn't need to go to a care home, and have chosen to use that boost to restart my muscle building exercises (not looking for magic bullets and did not want to waste that miracle leg up). Thank you for your awesome efforts here! I hate doctors and it is no secret among those who know me irl, but I tell everyone you are the only doctor I have any trust for!
I have not had chronic constipation, but I have had irregular bowel movements, going through different phases of "normal", constipated, diarrhea, repeat.... I do many different health things (not specifically for this), but I have found three things have helped me a lot. (1) I started drinking kefir made with goat's milk every morning. I had taken probiotic pills for years and years, but the first time I tried kefir, my body told me, "YES! I want this!" and I've been taking it ever since. (2) Whenever I was in a constipated phase, I would take magnesium - worked every time. But the most effective thing I've tried (3) is oral DMSO. I've been taking this for at least a year now (starting low & gradually increasing the dose). It has done a lot for me in many ways, and the most recent is normalizing my bowel movements. I now have easy, normal poops every day, usually early morning & after each meal. It took a long time to get here, but it was worth it! I continue to take DMSO orally every night, waiting to see what improves next.
I understand that normal/natural gut microbiome is mostly bacteria, with some yeast. I was diagnosed as having Candida (systemic Candiasis) about 30 years ago (in a random, unintended way). Today, I am 2.5 years into a hard luck problem with my arm. My arm was fully "fermenting". I decided I would fix the arm, or have it amputated. After 30,000 cotton swabs, etc, etc. The arm is vastly improved, and my treatments continue. The 5 doctors I've seen have not been helpful.
DMSO, after much experimentation, does seem to be helpful as an addition to my various formulations.
I ingested DMSO to treat hemorrhoids, and it largely fixed chronic constipation, which I've had since I can remember. Side effects: urgency to pee, poo being too soft, and gas. These three things seem to be related. Fix: combine DMSO with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). This firmed up the poo. Maybe the reason our poo is firm is because baking soda is in a lot of food? These side effects have largely disappeared. I don't take DMSO everyday. It's easy to overdose. Constipation is largely corrected. Ditto hemorrhoids. Knock on wood.
After a back injury I've been on paracetamol & ibuprofen for 8 months. I know I know, but I can't function without them. Dmso whilst helpful has not been my medical miracle even in combination with other therapies.
A few of my favorite [constipation] remedies include rubbing coconut oil, dmso and rosemary oil on my lower abdomen and massaging a bit to help break things up.
We have been giving our dogs 1-2 droppers of DMSO in milk. (8 droppers is 1 tsp.) They lap it up with gusto.
I applied 50% DMSO in RO water to a sprained/injured leg. The dog gave me a look that said, "This feels funny," and relaxed as I massaged it in. Some days she licked it, and some she didn't. And I have applied it to her belly along a surgery scar she got before she became my dog. DMSO in water seems to soak in and dry nicely.
I've been using DMSO for leg cramps, but experimenting using it for other ailments. I tried putting a little on a poison ivy breakout, and the itch and rash disappeared, didn't come back. Usually with poison ivy I would have to take antihistamines for several days.
Note: my cat, who hates the smell of any topical, sniffs my DMSO'd hand before I wash it, not repulsed at all. Interesting.
I was diagnosed with multiple “autoimmune diseases” and they multiplied over time. One is/was AS. Diet was most important for healing, emotional work a must and DMSO was life changing. I was young and the natural way was not available to me. When confronted with “being disabled for life” and prescription drugs the “only way” financially available, I gave in and went down that road…
~24 yrs after the ankylosing spondylitis diagnosis, I am finally off all drugs & starting to thrive. I don’t even have to take DMSO every day any more.
Update on my sore hip. I first tried 100% DMSO gel. No effect. A Midwestern Doctor replied to me stating that it is often hard to get effect in such a deep area. It is immensely helpful to be heard.
Finally went to doctor who ordered an X ray showing arthritis in the joint. Prescribed physical therapy. Seemed to help at first, but in my opinion not confirmed by physical therapist, the 9 minutes of different exercised on a BOSU stability device, with many jerking motions, resulting the return of and pain returned as strong as ever. I had gone to the doctor in December about hip pain, but, in my opinion, what pushed the pain over the edge was doing intense IWT, Interval Walking Training. IWT consists of 3 minute segments of normal walk, then the highest intensity for the next 3 minutes and alternate. At age 82 not a good idea.
The physical therapy was helpful to finally (I hope!) be to catalyst to engage in regular exercise and strengthen muscles around the hip area and improve mobility.
At the end of physical therapy the pain was so great that for an upcoming flight, that included a plane change in Dallas-Fort Worth airport, I ordered a wheel chair for end to end transport in the airports. I also entertained the possibility of a cortisone shot.
In the middle of the 12 session PT, my wife convinced me to take a NASID and I began Naproxen twice per day. No help.
I went through the 3,400 items of results listed in one of the DMSO articles and extracted ones on arthritis and other topics for my wife. I finally began taking 100% DMSO orally. I now take a teaspoon morning and evening but spill over when filling the teaspoon so my dosage is about 3 teaspoons per day. Doing somewhat better.
Then I went back to 100% topical gel on hip once per day. Amazing results. Pain almost completely gone. I have not cancelled the wheel chair until the current conditions lasts.
Then for 2 days I did not put on the topical DMSO and the pain returned a little. Put on today and continue the liquid. I just pour it in 8 oz. of distilled water and drink.
I am going to throw in something else which might be totally unrelated. In my yearly physical exam, a month ago, there was a problem with iron and the doctor prescribed an endoscopy to see if something was going on. And I had very hard poops and began taking stool softeners the last few days.
My general practitioner for the last year and a half is an Osteopathic Doctor. I told her that I was taking DMSO and printed out one of these DMSO articles for her. . She suggested an appointment in 3 months to see how I was doing. NOTE: she didn't suggest that I run out and get a cortisone shot in my hip. For the last 9 weeks I have been supporting my wife after knee replacement. When my hip pain was bad I sorta thought about a hip replacement for myself but will continue the current course.
I posted 3 comments on my hip. This is the first one. By the third posted comment my hip was fine! Continued exercises, but main element was 1 tsp 2x day of 100% DMSO.
I have scleroderma very painful I use DMSO thank you Doc! You saved my liver and my sanity! So last week my Rhuemy asked why I have never asked for pain control as one of my fingers is disfiguring. I had to come clean and tell him about DMSO, surprise he did a 2 year research on DMSO as a fellow.
Said I taught him something today and will refer pts like me who are end stage liver disease (auto immune PBC) for pain control as he didn't like many of the options either.
For the knees, I'm fond of applying DMSO, then about a nickel sized amount of Diclofenac gel spread on top. I had a miraculous response in a guy who was post total knee replacement. Ortho left one leg 1/2 in shorter than the other. On all the pain meds. Ortho got an xray and "everything was fine." Not even kidding, he called my nurse the very next morning to report he was conpletely pain free. No more pain meds and a real success in my book.
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a simple naturally occurring chemical
Ivermectin/DMSO Application:
1. Spray on a combination of DMSO & spread ivermectin on first then spray on DMSO(doesn’t matter which one, I would start with Ivermectin ) If needed lightly rub in with 1-2 fingers to the area needed. If you don’t need to spread it to the area needed just let it air dry. Use 30-70% DMSO, use lower for the face per user response… usually 2 -3 puffs of DMSO is enough to spread on the face.
2. Spray on 1-3x times daily, if dryness cut back, or use Aloe Vera for moisture or redness. Just wipe off and/o by wipe off with water around the eyes or other spots if tingling plus don’t get in your eyes, keep your eyes shut when spraying. Can also just put (rub on)more Aloe Vera on for tingling.
Spray on the forehead and cheeks, or only the problem areas….
Always clean your face & hands with organic soap, use only one or 1 2 clean fingers (because of the DMSO) to lightly spread and rub into the skin) Let air dry, and wait for 15-20 minutes before applying makeup, etc….
Rinse finger(s) off with water and wipe with a towel after spreading DMSO to the area needed, to keep the smell of DMSO to a minimum.
It may take several months with stubborn acne to see moderate results…..
A few days before you published this article, I was trying to figure out how to manage pain from a strained hip muscle. Oral DMSO knocked it completely, but I don’t take it on work days due to the odor (my colleagues keep commenting that they “smell Onyx”). I tried hemp seed oil (purchased from Charles Warren Presents) with good relief, and 70% DMSO in aloe vera gel with better relief. I decided to try them together, and after 2 applications 12 hours apart, I had total pain relief. I applied the combination one more time after 12 hours for good measure, but have not needed it since. I didn’t notice hemp seed oil mentioned in your article so I thought I’d share my experience (though you do reference CBD).
DMSO has been very helpful for me in dealing with several minor musculoskeletal issues over the past 8 months or so. It also seemed to have the effect of an increasing my overall general health…I seem to just simply feel better when I apply it. Feeling better to me has been even more valuable than the help with the musculoskeletal help even though they are probably one and the same.
I've been experimenting - using DMSO on my knee along with MCT oil before walking makes the walk so much better. My hope is that the torn meniscus is somehow reforming. And if not, it feels like it is.
- ordered 70/30 (with Aloe) and had limited but positive results treating a damaged rotator cuff. I absolutely love the vivid dreams. Been using it over 1 week.
- ordered the liquid 99% and tried in my morning coffee with heavy cream, results an 'explosion' but I have no gall bladder.
- I moved to ~ 1 tsp with water and water as a chaser.. omg that stuff is really strong !!
- day 2 moved to 1 in the morning and 1 about noon.
- Edit: now doing only 1 tsp with water chaser.
I am noticing a big improvement with my shoulder. I am still going for an MRI to see if surgery is needed but based on my past 3-4 days I am thinking not.
My regiment is cream on my shoulder and 1 tsp/day. As 'aMD' has stated Everyone is different so start slowly and adjust. I am so thankful that I am in the 80% and pray for those in the 20% find a solution.
To close, in my experience with a clean diet and good health DMSO has been a very positive experience for me, I do not take any meds other than NP Thyroid.
For over a year, I dealt with what appeared to be eczema on the inside of my right ankle; about a two-inch square patch. The itching was relentless. It would keep me from falling asleep, wake me in the middle of the night, and drive me to scratch just to find some relief.
I tried everything: prescriptions, over-the-counter creams, and natural remedies. Nothing worked. No doctor I spoke to could offer a solution that made any real difference.
Then I found the undiluted DMSO roll-on from the DMSO Store. I applied it two or three times a day for about a month. The itching started to reduce, and after another month, the rash completely disappeared. The skin in that area looked a bit like a prune for a while, but the itch was gone!
I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you, Midwestern Doctor, for spreading this knowledge. DMSO changed my life.
Hi! Back is now essentially pain free after about 2 months of regular use. Was using a 70/30 DMSO and aloe vera gel mixture on hip, si joint and hamstring injury. Was using with magnesium oil, peppermint, lidocaine cream, & arnica. More recently, an 80% solution with peppermint oil has also been great and it dries much faster than the two with no residue. However, we are finding that my clothes are carrying the scent after laundering. I usually try to make sure I'm dry before putting on clothes but am wondering if there is a residue causing the issue. What detergents are working for others to get rid of the smell? My husband is complaining and I don't want to give up my pain relief!
I fell and twisted my ankle and left knee very badly, also strained my right knee (I have arthritis in both knees.) I rubbed the foot, ankle, leg, and knee with Herbal Mana Frankincense DMSO Gel, and also rubbed the right leg and knee. I was amazed to get relief.
Thanks to you, I’ve been using DMSO to shrink large varicose veins on my legs - while they’re still present, they’re much smaller, softer, and a sensation of “thickness” that was present before is no longer there! I’ll share a before and after once they’re gone or almost gone.
I have a rotator cuff problem in my left shoulder (already had surgery on the right shoulder). I'm mixing 50% DMSO and 50% magnesium oil, put it on the shoulder every night. Seems to be helping a little.
I used essential oils of turmeric and frankincense one drop each combined with DMSO gel when I started treating my knee inflammation and swelling (from old ski injuries and minescectomy) with excellent and fast results, after your first series of articles on DMSO.
This has opened the floodgates of my imagination for a number of future combinations to try.
Maybe I’ve overlooked this information, but how often is dmso used? I just got a 70/30 to start and used it the first time yesterday. Stiff neck and low back pain are definitely improved. Applied again this moving I still have soreness even though overall better, but how much is too much? I don’t want to go overboard, but honestly, this is the best I’ve felt without nsaids for years. Is twice a day normal?
I have been fascinated by your posts and I'm delighted to tell you that the last three weeks I have been using 50-50 99% DMSO with normal saline with 12% magnesium chloride in a nebuliser for five minutes each day. The results have been spectacular and I have stopped using my Ventolin puffer which I was using up to 12 times a day. It is really an extraordinary result. As a physiotherapist I am gobsmacked. I would like to include glutathione but my compounding chemist is unwilling to suggest a dosage to be added to my combination above. Can you please suggest one, for which I would be eternally grateful
I've been experimenting with DMSO for a full year now. Mostly topical application. I started with 1:1 mix of DMSO in high-quality olive oil, gradually worked up to 5:1. It knocks out muscle pain and bruising like magic.
The most striking result was a hip joint that was steadily becoming more painful - I was considering asking for surgery. (I'm 70.) I applied the DMSO-oil stuff 2x day for a couple of months, then also started eating collagen powder with my breakfast (5 g day). After 6 months, no more pain at all, just a hint of stiffness after sitting for a long time. So I've gone down to 2x week (still taking the collagen every day). Pretty cool experiment!
I'm also using it for varicose veins, and after a year of 2x day (with one day a week off), they are only slightly improved. But considering I've had this condition for 50 years (!), I'm prepared to be patient. Oddly, I've noticed that the progress comes in waves, and the 1-day break seems to contribute to that, not sure why.
More recently, I've started trying to cure my chronic rhinitis by swabbing it 1x day in my nostrils and soft palate (so that it trickles down my throat). I put up with a brief burning in my nose, and an awful taste, but it seems to be working.
I thought I was being adventurous, but this article has so many more options I see I've barely scratched the surface!
PS - forgot to mention, this mixture also cured a TMJ problem that was deteriorating. This was originally why I first bought the DMSO.
And I do mean "cured" - my jaw went from a painful locking habit on one side (often while I was asleep - very disturbing!), and pain when biting into food, to totally normal functioning again.
That took around 6 months, applying the DMSO 2x day to the joint and along the neck tendon near it (behind the ear). Somehow they seemed to work together.
I have used methylene blue at 15 mg per day to restore my immune system after it was crushed by the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. This process took about 3 1/2 months. That was a in 2021. I have been taking methylene blue at the same dosage every day since that time. Recently,thanks to the posts A Midwestern Doctor, Recently,I have been drinking 3/4 of an ounce of 99.995% pure DMSO liquid along with the methylene blue. The result is that very little methylene blue appears in my urine! I believe this is because the DMSO is helping methylene blue penetrate my body’s cells more efficiently!
I struggle with fatigue/burnout and often feel my the back of my neck area tenses up easily. I have had some success by putting DMSO on that area, feeling that some "flow" is returned. My inspiration for this was from other articles where you mentioned the vagus nerve often getting compressed around here and the need for good circulation to and from the head, not least for sleep.
I also had the idea to put DMSO around the kidney/adrenal area on the back (very roughly), to see if it somehow could help support the adrenals. Sometimes I can feel like a constriction in them when overexerted or stressed. Perhaps the DMSO helps create flow around here too, because it does seem to have some effect and I haven't felt that constriction as much afterwards.
A combo I've been using, just because it made sense to me to try, is DMSO and Dr. Christopher's Bone & Tissue ointment. The later I've been using for much of my life to heal everything from skin wounds to broken bones. It's a salve with comfrey and other herbs. Adding DMSO by just applying some to the skin area I'm working on, and then rubbing the Bone & Tissue into the same area seems to increase it's effectiveness. As in skin heals even faster than I have been used to over the years using the same salve. I've used anything from 20% to 100% DMSO for this depending on if applying to something more sensitive like the face or less sensitive like the legs/feet. The Bone & Tissue salve also seems to counter any tingly/burny feeling the DMSO can create by it's self as I will feel that if using only DMSO, but not at all if applying the salve immediately afterwards.
Brother sprayed DMSO after applying castor oil on the perineum and improved urine flow and frequency, but also did CD enemas and ozone suppositories. DMSO alone has worked for headaches, bunions, burns cuts, scrapes. Added with magnesium to reduce muscle soreness and leg cramps. Added with ivermectin improved acne and acne scars.
Happy Body has a couple of creams that have MSM and CBD in them that I find help with my Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have also made some comfrey tincture that I apply with DMSO mixed with magnesium oil
DMSO in combination with magnesium oil is a good combo for arthritic joints. You can find magnesium oil on Amazon. Amandha Vollmer wrote a book Healing with DMSO that has many remedies such as this. She also sells some of her remedies already mixed. I used her night cream and her scalp treatment
I am almost 70. I took a fall recently when I was out getting some sun because I was reading an article on my phone instead of watching where I was going. I fell over and broke the skin on one knee (through my jeans, no big deal) but also banged up my right hand. It was really painful and I thought I would have problems for weeks. Had lots of pain in my knuckles and the first phalanges when I closed my fist or used my hand.
When I got home I rubbed DMSO cream into the back of my hand and then later used 70% DMSO liquid and rubbed it into the back of my hand and into my phalanges.
Now, a couple of days later I cannot feel any pain!
I have a forward curve in my neck and upper back that prevents me from raising my head, or turning it side to side. It is fairly painful. Today I applied a product from BearCat Body Care Essentials LLC
It consists of 50% DMSO, and 50% black Jamaican castor oil. I transferred it to a rollerball bottle for easier application. After applying it to my upper back and shoulders, it became warm, and within minutes the pain was gone, and I could raise my head without pain, as I have been unable to accomplish for four years
Based on your articles I purchased a jar of 100% DMSO gel. I was amazed at the burning sensation of my skin. (a new phenomenon to study!!!) I discovered that younger people have less of that burning than us older people, suggesting that this phenomenon accumulates with aging. Was this related to that energetic pollution I had been studying?
I applied DMSO to a small patch of stiff muscle and waited for the burn to show up. When it did, I applied one of my electromagnetic devices (that vacuums out this ionizing energy) to the center of the patch. The sensation immediately shifted to a more comfortable tingling, and to my amazement, lasted 1/2 hour or more. To me, this meant that the DMSO was dissolving old deposits of free radical end products like AGEs and releasing the quanta of high energy stored in the bonds of the free radical end products. It seemed this energetic pollution was flowing to my device from an expanding area of the body as the DMSO penetrated through the body dissolving free radical end products in it's path. This suggested to me the possibility that such a combination of DMSO and extraction of quanta of oxidizing energy might be a form of rejuvenation.
Then someone introduced me to the little H2 infused water generator bottles available for $30 on Amazon. As I studied them, they work by having H2 gas combine with OH• (hydroxyl radical) which forms water molecules within a rich mix of aqueous electrolytes, converting that oxidizing energy to heat energy dissipating harmlessly into the body. I found that, if I drank a few ounces of the H2 infused water, waited 1/2 to 1 hour, then applied the 100% DMSO, I got absolutely no burning. A Grok study showed me that, by greatly reducing the hydroxyl with the H2 water, I was initiating a cascade of reduced free radical levels of lower oxidizing potentials in my body as well.
Based on this I propose that DMSO combined with antioxidants might work better in reducing inflammation because DMSO alone releases the high energy potentials from dissolved free radical end products back into the body contributing to the pool of oxidative agents like hydroxyl which then just re-form new free radical end products in other parts of the body.
For those who don't get skin burning from DMSO, this might seem unimportant, but for us old people with a lifetime of accumulation of free radical end products like AGEs, this combination of DMSO with H2 water or perhaps another form of hydroxyl level antioxidant might provide a major reversal of one of the forms of aging.
I used the 70% gel on small areas of my face (I read your warning and stupidly ignored it). I was freaked out slightly when my face started swelling but I just added more aloe and it calmed down and the next day was fine. But the amazing thing was that I had noticeable mental clarity (I have constant brain fog and chronic fatigue) so that was a happy accident! I also applied it to a pimple that was completely gone the next day.
Decided a while ago to try a teaspoon internally. After a few days, amazingly, I noticed I wasn't coughing! I'd had a regular chronic cough almost all year! And the cough is gone! Thanks so much, Doc! I had been told I had beginnings of heart failure, and a cough sort of goes along with that. I'm feeling much more confident! Workout three days a week going a mile on treadmill, and i'm 82. 😊
In my own practice, I now use DMSO or a DMSO combination in about 80% of cases, and the results have been remarkable. The potential for self-healing outlined in this article is inspiring. Save it, print it and keep a copy nearby.
Had the same thought and after a week or so, the difference was significant. So, yes, I will second the use of DMSO to improve penile blood flow [for erectile dysfunction]. Start with 50% to lessen the chance of irritation, now at my usual dilution ratio of 70%, no problem.
Statins cause T2D, ED [erectile dysfunction], brain fog, heart disease, reduction in CoQ10/K2, skin cancer etc. Yup to them all. So I have had ED for over 10 years. I began using DMSO on my feet and I thought, hmmmm.... improves blood flow! YUP, it is helping. Thanks AMD
I have very, very minor COPD (self-diagnosed) after no more than 25 years of smoking. But the cough began to get my attention. Had to sleep on my face, not side or back eg. Went very slow on acclimating self to DMSO liquid, 30%, 50%, 70% and now a hundred. I follow AMD and use a water-color painter's animal bristle brush to paint it all over my chest above the lungs. Almost immediate good results. Still doing this once or twice a day.
I have had moderate to severe RA [rheumatoid arthritis] for about 25 years...Recently, I’ve tried DMSO (50% dilution) applied directly to the affected joints. It does seem to help and allows me to function/sleep without resorting to prednisone.
I was suffering from chronic Lyme but I am thrilled to say that I seem to be healed now. I had a lot of pain and arthritic type symptoms and fatigue. I lost a lot of weight (down to 95lbs) and became very weak. Along with herbs, nutrition, and what exercise I could tolerate, I used DMSO and baked in the morning sun almost every day. I also did 5 months of antibiotics, but the real healing happened after I stopped them. My body seemed to crave the sunlight so I followed that, and the DMSO helped with the pain and stiffness. I also sometimes took it orally when I took my herbs.
Recently I started taking DMSO 1/4 tsp twice a day in water with 1/4 tsp wildflower honey, it has made a notable difference, My hair has gotten thicker, and my face is smoother still - I feel like I am aging backwards.
Is there any experience with the use of DMSO for psoriatic arthritis, taking DMSO orally and combining it with OptiMSM tablets?
I am taking 6 1000mg MSM tablets daily, which already brought about a big initial improvement.
Now I plan to start also taking DMSO orally, combing it with distilled or purified water and wondering what concentration of DMSO might be appropriate.
I am currently treating a 45 year old CF patient with DMSO and glutithione. She was in the beginning stages of getting worked up for lung transplant. We'll have PFT's from before treatment and updates every 3 months starting in August. 1 month in, she's feeling like a teenager again, exercising and has been illness free for 4 weeks now, which is the longest period without antibiotics since she was in her 20's. She tells me I can share all the details of her case
A lot of these health issues we have build up over a long period of time, so we cannot expect overnight solutions with DMSO but keep applying it and it really does work. I have a back issue in my left lower back with an operation on L4/L5 disc. With regular application in this area it has taken over a month for the pain to subside, on the other hand,rubbing a 70/30 concentration daily on to my legs and feet quickly resulted in less swelling in the Summer heat.
Thank you so much for this detailed article. I have been using DMSO for a few months for pain. I have a lot of pain from doing physical work and 2 bad car wrecks. It has been an effective chronic pain reliever.
A GREAT AND UNUSUAL SUCCESS STORY. WORTH SHARING WITH YOUR READERS in the next DMSO article.
8 and 1/2 years ago I had hernia surgery. It was completely successful except for one side effect. Upon ejaculation I experience sharp but short lived (less than 10 seconds) pain near the incisions. 8 and 1/2 years later, I still have the pain upon ejaculation. The conclusion from a few different doctors was that scar tissue grew back around my vas deferens on that side and the pain is the result of fluid being forced through the vas deferens [and into the penis]. I have grown to live with it.
Update to this past week: I have been using DMSO for some knee pain (sadly not working), but lo and behold, my ejaculation pain has completely disappeared. This is in line with what you wrote about scar tissue in your second DMSO article on Sep 29, 2024. But there you implied that the DMSO needs to be applied soon after the surgery, if not during the surgery. I can report that, at least for me, it worked 8 and 1/2 years after the surgery (I am currently 69 years old). THANK YOU MWD.
I have struggled with COPD for 20 years, and was finally able to quit smoking 9 years ago. I started using DMSO a week ago and have so far had some amazing results. I feel I am ready to try using it in my Nebulizer.
I believe I have pulmonary fibrosis from years of dust exposure working in a woodshop. I'm afraid of having that confirmed by a doctor and then being unable to resist the pull of their magical fear incantations regarding my certain horrible not-distant death. So I am going this alone pretty much, apart from what I glean from online information. I've been taking DMSO topically and internally, with promising though a bit shy of dramatic results, and soon to start administering it with a nebulizer, possibly alternating with glutathione.
Fantastic research and sharing. DMSO seems to have made a difference for my mother who was recently diagnosed with ILD [interstitial lung disease]. We are researching a DMSO - friendly nebulizer that has stainless steel reservoir. Any suggestions?
Thank you for all the work you do to bring DMSO to the forefront. I am already benefitting from your articles (pain from arthritis in my hip has been greatly reduced after only 2 weeks of oral application).
So far, my muscles have not responded to the extent I had hope for using the dmso/magnesium oil but swelling in my ankles and feet in hot weather has been much reduced. So there are many benefits but it is still a work in progress.
I also rub a 50/50 mixture of dmso/water into my scalp once a week after a hair wash, which has brought some colour back and made it more blonde. Soon approaching 81 I am looking for more energy, especially for my legs, so as I said "it is a work in progress".
I had success using this for wrist and ankle pain. It also faded some spider veins. I also think it may have stopped my hot flashes as they are returning now that I am not using it anymore.
Two experiences with treating livestock infections with DMSO:
1. A ewe with severe mastitis— normally requiring an injectable antibiotic— cleared it up with only topical applications of Betadine mixed with DMSO. Mammary tissue has a high need for iodine, so increasing its absorption via DMSO was very beneficial and increased the antimicrobial effect.
2. A goat with an injured ear from a dog attack. I dissolved amoxicillin from an oral-route capsule into DMSO and applied it topically to the relatively hairless skin of her udder and inside of her thighs. The wounds healed with no resulting infection. Normally this would have required an injected antibiotic since ruminate animals cannot be given oral antibiotics.
A neighbor’s cat claimed me as his “person” a little over 2 years ago. He spends much of his day at my house and backyard. I noticed he had an itchy spot near his right ear that would flare up from time to time. At times it would bother him so much, he’d scratch at it until it bled. His owner would apply a cream from the vet when it would flare up with semi-effective results. A few days ago, I noticed it had flared up again and he had scratched at it until it was raw. I grabbed a Q-tip and my DMSO and applied it to the sore area. The next day, the wound was sealed up and diminishing. Second day, applied again. The sore area was nearly completely healed by the third day. I dabbed on a final treatment the third day but there was hardly anything to dab at. Happy cat.
Just thought everyone might find this interesting.
Yes, I topically apply 99% pure DMSO every evening on me. Have used it for sore shoulders, knees, with great results. Am inspired to apply on my chest now after reading about others good results for asthma, cough, and related lung issues. Have developed a slight chronic cough from sinusitis. Am inspired to start adding a drop or two of DMSO to a sinus rinse machine.
Tip: if your skin feels hot or turns red when using DMSO topically, (mine did but gradually went away as my skin eventually stopped interpreting the DMSO as a threat), try applying coconut oil before the DMSO. It helped me a lot. DMSO will carry whatever is on your skin into your body. Organic coconut oil is good for us, inside and out.
Grateful to you AMD. We will put this work of yours to use for good. Thank you for helping to provide solutions for those who were at a loss as to where to look for help. I am going to do some personal work on nebulizing DMSO...I have some lung issues resulting from exposures to products of combustion in a broad array... from wildfires to structural fires, chemicals, dust, refuse and biological hazards of several types, metals and fluxes. My career as a Professional Fire Fighter has left me with some challenges to play with, and my hobbies are all dangerous to health. About six months ago, I did some repairs to a piece of jewelry for a merchant representing Navajo silversmiths...and found out that Spiny Oyster dust is not good for eyes... I used Fusidic Acid Opthalmic, plus DMSO and was well in one week, no repercussions.
Thank you.. thank you. I have had pneumonia many times from my work environment and damaged lungs and airways. I have been rubbing DMSO 70% unto my chest and back and my cough is completely gone and I feel whole. I am 76 and want to stay as healthy as I can for as long as possible. I am not a medical person so many times i have to stop and research.... but.. i am learning and want to Thank you for your wonderful articles. I read and reread then..
Hi Doc, checking in after my Barretts Esophagus recheck on Monday. I had a severe case of it diagnosed 3 years ago....I refused to take prescriptions omeprazole or pantropazole, but had been taking ivermectin since the pandemic and added menbenzadole 3x a week for the past 8 weeks, then read your article re: DMSO so started applying it topically starting at my throat and rubbing it slowly down to my stomach...and guess what, the Doctor says there is NO SIGN of Barretts Esophagus, but I still have signs of GERD, but my GERD has always been silent so no symptoms which contributed to my developing Barretts. This endoscopy result was such great news and I'm not sure which of my off label meds contributed to the eradication of the Barretts, but I am SO THANKFUL to you and your articles and to GOD for bringing us together as I have continually prayed for a cure, which doctors told me that it was not curable but could maintain it with the proper prescription drugs and limiting diet. SO THANK YOU. I read every word of your posts and am now using DMSO for arthritis in my knees and fingers...You are the BEST!
I used DMSO liquid for knee pain over a 2-week period, with no change. Then I started taking 1/2 teaspoon daily in my tea. Four days later, the pain (which was usually low-level, but chronic) disappeared completely. That was 6 months ago, and I now take 1 teaspoon DMSO liquid in my tea 4-5x per week.
DMSO has improved my kidney function and greatly reduced the edema I was experiencing. I take the liquid orally. 1/2-1 tsp twice a day. I started with just drops though and worked up to that.
After watching video posted by @RebeccaCunningham of her neighbor who was able to breath and do more in a short period of time after using DMSO in a nebuliZer. Impressive! I have been diagnosed with COPD. Lungs greatly affected my quality of life.
My research -
I went back to a program Dr Vliet of TruthForHealth.Org did in December 2024 in her Faith Over Fear series. She suggested A Midwestern Doctor, The DMSO Store (Ft Lauderdale, FL) and to take it slow.
6 weeks ago I had started walking an hour a day - very slowly and at first could barely make it.
This was recommended to me by a Buteyko Breathing Breathing Specialist.
DMSO experience
Day 1 & 2 for me - small roll on 99% from DMSO Store.
Day 3 - Small roll on 99% on mid chest area. DMSO Store
Walking in now 81 degree weather, my Apple watch for the first time asked me if I wanted to record my workout! Prior to that I was too slow for it to pick up I guess. Today I did the same path and even a little extra and still finished 5 minutes early! Better able to breath without getting out o breath.
Thank you for all you do with this FSM Substack. I have been using DMSO with great success and have recommend it to many with the information from your articles.
I recently was diagnosed with what is likely a cancerous 10mm nodule in my lung, and began a nutritional/diet/repurposed or off-label drug protocol (with chlorine dioxide and DMSO!) that includes 40 mg of melatonin per day.
I take 1.5T DMSO in a lime juice/water solution 4x/day. I have MS and am attempting to heal damage. It has been incredibly helpful for pain and energy. In May and June, separated by 2+ weeks I took 0.2mg/kg of IVM as part of an antiparasite protocol. In June and to a greater extent July my vision became a lot worse. Near vision contacts had been at -6.0 and went to -8.5. A full panel for thyroid, DM, and electrolytes were all normal so I was baffled but then read this article tonight. Could this have been due to this DMSO/IVM combination?
I also had another spot of melanoma come up on my leg (previous Mohs procedure on same legs 11/18 stage 1a) that I treated with chlorine dioxide and it seemed to improve until I had some skin breakdown. I stopped. It has healed. If it needs treatment again I’m going to use your advice and treat with DMSO and IVM topically.
I have been taking a low dose (140mgs) of imbruvica for almost ten years to treat CLL successfully. I started using DMSO topically and I soon started having paroxysmal afib episodes, which was distressing since I have never had any heart problems. After reading this article I realized that the DMSO was possibly increasing the potency of the imbruvica. (One of the major possible side effects of imbruvica is heart arrhythmias/afib.)
I stopped using DMSO over a month ago and have had no episodes since. I’m going to ask my doctor about lowering my imbruvica dose so that I can use DMSO - and yes, I would have bloodwork more often to check levels. (Interestingly, in May my WBC count was the lowest it’s been in seven years, which supports my theory of the DMSO increasing the drug’s potency.)
I haven't had an opportunity to finish this article yet before my wife encouraged me to share my experience using DMSO. In my case it was an infection in the jaw from an extremely bad infection in a tooth that multiple dentist and doctors could not initially properly diagnosis and instead sent me home with an antibiotic each time for nearly a year before I was advised to have the tooth pulled and be done with it. I did that but still experienced pain up in the jaw which spread to the back of the jaw. Still the dentist that pulled the tooth could not see an infection in the x-rays. At a loss and finally resolving myself that mainstream medicine has lost all credibility(seeing the very slightest hope I had left in it evaporated) I searched for a better antibiotic and found it in Chlorine Dioxide. So I began a protocol with it going up to nearly 8 drops an hour and while adding DMSO drops to each . Several times throughout the day I'd sit with some of my 4 oz water with 8 drops Chlorine Dioxide, and 24 drops of DMSO mixture and lay on my side and allow it to sit there and soak around that jaw bone for up to 10 min. I also brushed with it multiple times a day. It seemed a bit extreme for me at first since I had never really done anything like it before but at this point I was very afraid since I had read that infections in a bone usually will never heal or go away since antibiotics(same for chlorine dioxide) will not reach places void of water. But I'm happy to report that after much persistence, working at it for several weeks, it seemed it penetrated into the jaw and finally eliminating a year and half nightmare of pain and the array of clearly ill informed doctors and dentists and I haven't had any pain since. I have gone on to do multiple 3-4 week protocols this last year for lyme disease and what seemed like a toxic build up(from...is it possible it was from chemtrails?) with great success! I did 4-5 of them before figuring out ways to keep toxins at bay by drinking lots of water and working with diatomaceous earth, psyllium husk, and triphala to keep the bowls moving while adding some essential vitamins(vit. C, vit. D, ect). I appreciate you(Midwestern Doctor), whoever you are! You have opened my eyes ever wider than they already were and I've been inspired to study real medicine further to help my adult children in the future!
Blend: 30% DMSO, 20% castor oil, 20% aloe, 30% pure water. (castor oil stinks & "tastes" bad, but is anti-inflammatory - but I'm wondering if I can substitute something else. It "tastes" really bad).
Put 2 drops up each nostril (have to be lying down). Wait as you feel it going into sinuses - then - spray with saline to drive it further into the sinuses. My saline spray is a little jet spray that "shoots" the saline up the nose. I don't think a pump would have the same effect.
Wait 15-20 minutes. Blow nose = all clear.
I've also managed to sneak in 2 ingested doses without hubby complaining of stench! So maybe I just need to space out ingestion a bit more.
A DMSO/Vaccine Shedding Story [and neck improvement]...
For background, I'm an NP working in skilled nursing facilities in rural southern Arizona near the USMexican border. I was injected with two doses of Moderna in January 2021.
Thanks to the FLCCC, I knew about ivermectin - which I was able to get by walking across the border to Mexico. Never got Covid until Omicron - a mild case - but then in the ensuing months, noticed that during outbreaks or vaccination campaigns, I would have tachycardia, dizziness, head pressure, brain fog, fatigue - when I went into the facilities. Symptoms would worsen during the week while making rounds, and subside on the weekends. I was constantly treating myself, following FLCCC guidelines, sometimes knocking it out by a 5-day prednisone burst.
Then came transverse myelitis.
Before Covid, transverse myelitis was something I'd heard of exactly once. After the shots, I'd had 11 patients in 18 months with symptoms of acute back pain radiating down one thigh, then pain would move to both thighs, then they would start falling down with their legs giving out, then they were paralyzed and numb. (Thanks to an amazing patient with MS who taught me her treatment regimen, was able to get them all walking again. Thank you, Kendra.)
When it happened to me, I instantly recognized the symptoms and was able to get myself on high-dose steroids within the hour. I treated myself with everything I knew, allopathic and not - and you, Midwestern Doctor, along with the FLCCC, saved my life.
However, due to my work and being exposed to patients and staff constantly, I'm a chronic state of fluctuating inflammation, with occasional flares of the TM usually heralded by sudden back pain.
Now to the DMSO part: A friend whom I'll call Mateo was visiting from California. We met in a coffee shop, and as soon as he walked in I saw he was walking like Frankenstein, was so arthritic he could not turn his neck but had to move his whole trunk. So I told him about DMSO, and he came to my house to try it. I had him wash his neck with a washcloth, then demonstrated how I put DMSO on my own neck (didn't wash my hands after applying). Mateo splashed the DMSO on his palms and rubbed it into his own neck. Pretty quickly he complained of burning and tingling, so I took some olive oil (pure non-GMO) and rubbed it on on his neck - contact time of maybe 3-5 seconds. Within minutes, Mateo was surprised that he could move his head up and down and side to side - he was demonstrating this and then gave me a look of alarm. "You're breaking out in hives!" he said. I was. Without being aware, I had been scratching my palms, then noticed my feet were itching, then noticed my back was itching, plus my lips and my scalp and I was pretty much scratching everywhere. Obviously having an acute allergic reaction. So after taking benadryl and then prednisone, we were trying to figure out what I was allergic to - Mateo didn't have anything on his skin, and the bottle of olive oil I had used was half used by me...and then, without really thinking, I asked: "Hey Mateo, have you ever taken any of the Covid shots?"
"You mean the vaccines?" he said. "Oh yeah... I've had eight of them."
When was the last one? Three weeks ago.
That's my story. Obviously I've left out a lot of details, but my theory is that my body is super-sensitized to spike protein, I've already got an autoimmune condition, and I gave myself a huge dose of the antigen after touching a shedding person with DMSO carrying it straight into my bloodstream.
I hope my experience will help someone. It's a testament to shedding...and to the power of DMSO.
I felt comfortable using it as it did alleviate wrist pain that I had for over a year from lifting weights. The pain went away after one to two topical applications of 60%. It also reduced pain from an ankle strain, but did not completely eliminate the pain. I used it on some spider veins for about a month and they have faded. After this, I decided to try it for tinnitus. I have read all the articles and comments. Possibly it’s the other ingredients that were used in the studies that reduced the tinnitus and not DMSO alone.
I have been using the apple-flavored horse paste Durvet Ivermectin form on the many skin growths of all kinds that my 100yo mother develops regularly. I have yet to find a kind of growth that that formula will not get rid of, with once a day application for anywhere from several days to several weeks. Simple and easy and extremely effective. :-)
A diagnosis of malignant melanoma treated with Chlorine Dioxide (CDS3000ppm)and 70/30 DMSO. I saw the Dermatologist on April 10th and she performed a shave biopsy on my ankle. Unfortunately it came back positive. I started treating it with Andreas Kalcker’s protocol K until the surgery on May 14th. I applied CDS3000 and let it dry and then applied DMSO twice a day. Below is the first biopsy showing melanoma to the peripheral margins and diagnosis in the deep margins, followed by the biopsy after surgery showing no sign of disease. I’m totally convinced this stopped the cancer in its tracks. The surgeon and the dermatologist had no answers to why there was no cancer in the second biopsy. I didn’t tell them I treated with CDS and DMSO.

So I’ve been having headaches since 1982, migraines, and they always start out on one side of the neck and shoulder, usually the right, but once in a while on the left and I have been taking zolmig for 29 years. It takes a while to kick in and I need an 800 ibuprofen with it, but it sometimes takes hours for it to go away. I use deep blue by doTERRA to just ease the pain. so two nights ago, I rubbed in the deep blue from my temple to my neck and shoulder, and then thought I’m gonna put DMSO on top of it on a cotton ball. I poured some on and just kind of rubbed it over the whole area went and laid down and lo and behold eight minutes later that pain was gone. First time in 29 years was it just a fluke? I don’t know. But I’ll try it again.
Thank you for continuing to report on DMSO and its amazing uses. It has become a household staple at our home and my husband and I have effectively used it for a variety of ailments, but always externally. We’ve had some great successes and not noticed any change in others. My greatest success was the relief from painful spasms caused by neuropathy, and my husband’s was relief from painful arthritic joints. Thank you!
First off, huge thank you, AMD, for this tremendous series. I've been using DMSO for numerous things. (My frozen shoulder accidently disappeared in 4 days.)
I've just been diagnosed with non-dysplasia Barrett's Esophagus and am wondering how to use DMSO to reverse this condition, along with changes in diet, habits and exercise?
Doc currently has me on Protonix for 30 days (it's day 10), but I didn't take it today because of horrible leg cramps/pain that started 3 days ago and has become almost unbearable; no sleep, barely functioning. I applied 70% DMSO about an hour ago and the pain has diminished 70-80% already.
I have small fiber neuropathy. I've been using a 70/30 roll on on the bottom of my feet and there is some relief, but it is not gone. So. I will look forward to the next article. Also, I have been putting it on my carotids. I have high BP [blood pressure] and was upped on lisinopril to 40mg. (I know...) Last pre-DMSO reading was 159/95. Ist post reading was 106/75!!! THANK YOU!!!
I'd like to also add that 10 drops of 70-80% solution of DMSO with 1 drop of peppermint oil applied/layered over a 4% lidocaine lotion/gel (pay attention to inert ingredients to avoid parabens, fragrances, etc.)is great for sciatica and SI Joint pain. On top, I spritz with magnesium oil spray if I'm dealing with muscle cramping that day. The peppermint oil/DMSO combo is something that I learned from Amandha Voltmer's book and sort of modified for myself. I've actually stopped using it daily since getting out of pain and have skipped a week here and there and use only occasionally now for flare-ups. That's after pain levels of 7-8 in June/July this year. Also doing PT and strength training for my back.
Yes, this works, but I’ve only used DMSO topically. Hubby said I smelled like I had garlic breath, so I put 1/2 tsp MSM powder in water and chug that immediately after applying DMSO. He says it’s much improved, but can sort of smell it a little if he kisses me. I also take 1500 mg capsule 1-2xs per day. I skip the morning dose if I decide I need DMSO for my hip/SI Joint that morning since I end up using the powder to prevent the odor instead.
I have found taking my oral dose with grapefruit juice mitigates the odor in your mouth and in your sweat as for me it makes the DMSO work better and faster - perhaps more absorption at the cellular level so less external loss of efficacy??
It has to be 100% grapefruit juice otherwise it is not as effective. Also I have tried orange and pomegranate - they do not help absorption as the grapefruit juice does.
DMSO ODOR RELIEF!!! I'm so excited to share this!!! We just started taking a teaspoon of barley grass powder (in juice) to mitigate the odor from drinking DMSO. It's making a huge difference! Breath is still bad (working on that), but it has eliminated the "Pig Pen like" odor cloud that usually lasts for a day and a half after drinking DMSO. I believe it's the chlorophyll in the barley grass doing the work. You can purchase chlorophyll on its own, but it can cause an upset stomach.
Yes indeed! I'm still using DMSO almost daily on hands and feet. As far as I can tell, all the splinters are now out of my feet (they caused curious yellowy coloured puffy areas), but there's still nerve damage in them from persistent cold and crushed feet as a child (ill fitting shoes, and cold houses, and wet feet from shifting from one classroom to another).
Meanwhile only yesterday several more bits of wood came out of my hands, plausibly from 5 decades ago. I'm finding the splinters on the inner surface of the joints, while the swelling and pain is on the top and sides of the joints.
DMSO cures structural spinal pain immediately upon application to the skin and only 1 application was needed for severe disc degeneration L1-S1. 1st Smartest Guy In The World.
acupuncture, chiropractic and neural therapy (similar to prolotherapy but using minute procaine injections- intramuscular, intra-articular and quaddle ) are low risk beneficial treatments for many types of musculoskeletal pain. When combined with DMSO, they are even better.
thank you for all your valuable information. I've past several articles in to my NP. She is just starting out in her career so I think it is helping her. She thanks me every time. I've gone off all BP meds and take only supplements now. And I'm using DMSO DAILY. YOU WERE SEND BY GOD
I have a mysterious skin condition - nothing visible - but a searing pain and hyper-sensitivity on my abdomen (almost like post herpetic pain from shingles only I haven't had shingles) and over my liver area as if my skin has been burned and all the nerve endings are inflamed. DMSO helps almost immediately which I use in conjunction with a hydrogel of aloe, lavender, carrot extract and colloidal silver. Saved me from having to take NSAIDS. Thank you for your info and encouragement. The times inbetween applications get longer - from twice daily to every 2 days now. Anything to be done about the garlic taste in the mouth side effect? I'm In South Africa with only one brave supplier that I can find. [this might be abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome]
DMSO is amazing! But if anyone is considering any spinal or back surgery because of disc compression/displacement on nerves don’t! I had severe sciatica with multiple discs compressing the nerves. I literally could barely walk without excruciating pain and lying down the nerve pains pinged all over my foot and lower ankle. Didn’t sleep for weeks. I followed Dr Sarno for a bit but it only got worse so had to get a primary md and she ordered an MRI… 2 days later she called and wanted me to see a spinal surgeon asap as I was heading toward cauda equina syndrome… loss of bowel and bladder function and paralysis. I declined (only on gabapentin which I reluctantly took) . My nephew told his chiro about me and said send her down here. After he saw my mri he said I’m a perfect candidate…. It’s spine med therapy. I live on an island so the trip to NJ was painful but just lied in backseat.. barely able to walk. After about 2 1/2 weeks I could walk without the excruciating pain and by the end of 6 weeks I was off gabapentin. From someone who was asking God to take her to being able to walk a mile now in 1/2 hr without pain is amazing. I do use the dmso combined with a thc cream on back that’s literally being stretched after the treatment and opening up the disc spaces.
I tripped over a garden hose that didn’t belong on the sidewalk. I fell very hard and bashed the frontal lateral aspect of my right knee on the concrete. No bony injury, but gross swelling of the soft tissues around my knee and below it on either side of my shin. Over the next hour I drove home. Reaching home I had so much muscle pain (8 out of 10) that I was calling out in pain, inching along, hardly walking, and hanging onto furniture while making my way to my medicine chest. My knee was swollen to the size of a melon. The joint itself did not hurt, but the knee muscles were so stiff they were like a brick around the joint. I could hardly flex it and so tried not to!
I have DMSO 99.9% liquid. I sat in a chair and applied it generously topically, undiluted, to the areas of swelling and pain and gently massaged it in. After another hour I re-applied it. That was ALL I did for my knee, apart from elevating it—no anti-inflammatories or painkillers. Two hours after I first applied the DMSO, the pain had settled to 5 out of 10. The pain continued to decrease throughout the day. The next morning I was reluctant to sit up in bed and fearful to stand, but I was surprised to find the knee was no longer stiff, and there was no pain per se, just a mild ache. I could walk comfortably. The swelling was reduced by half. Since then my knee has healed fairly well. I will never be without DMSO in the future.
I use it on my hands for scleroderma pain sometimes 2 roll on apps a day. Then I won't have any pain for a week then look out and DMSO knocks it down right now and keeps it there.
I've had chronic pain from a bad shoulder for 15 years (rejected from PT and even surgery; opioids help a bit but I can't get them as I don't "show" pain). Topical DMSO almost completely controls the pain!
At the age of 13 i was nearly killed in a football accident. I'm now 72 and have played baseball for 60 years, still play tournament baseball as a catcher.. I've had a right shoulder AC separation, left bursa surgery all years ago and within the last 5 years my left long bicep tendon is torn and my left rotator has a full thickness tear both which have not been repaired and have no effect on my baseball activity. Full range of motion with no discomfort just a bit of overhead weakness. I opted out of surgery. I decided that if it all goes bad shoulder replacements are more successful than a rotator repair.
So, when I received the diagnosis I decided that I would continue as I have been doing for a while longer. Being an avid baseball player and blue crab trapper I'll wait until the the late fall to have surgery. I already have C5-6 fused in 1989.
They suggested pain management but the DMSO helps me get through some of the difficult days. I've lived with this for so long and do all I want to do so a few more months should work.
I do understand the concern but having been through this for years and for 6 months had a chiropractor do the neck crack thing, he was thinking the entire time it was just an adjustment issue and was certain he could resolve it.
We started my 2 year old son who has had extremely severe eczema since he was 3 months on DMSO and aloe in December 24’. In just over 6 weeks he looked like he was almost 100% cured. We have stayed consistent in applying it every night before bed. About 2 weeks ago I got lax at a kids birthday party and let him have some “nothing Bundt cake” that was a huge mistake because he had a terrible flare up and it has not calmed down ever since
I’ve had Ankylosing Spondylitis for over 23 yrs & have had 29 fractures as a result of prescription drugs. I have been off all drugs for AS since 2020 & taking no prescriptions now in 2025.
I am doing amazingly well these days.
Glory to God who has given my body the ability to heal and the knowledge to do most of it myself. DMSO since 2021-2022.
I like DMSO also. My husband’s back says “no” to full strength 70/30! I checked last night and it was red and itching. So I guess back to the half strength! I want so much to see him off pain medicine and just DMSO!! It works for me
I've also had good results with a combination of DMSO and oregano essential oil. I take care to not touch the normal skin, just the spots, because oregano oil will actually give you a chemical burn. Several moles and sun damage spots on my face have flaked off after a few weeks of treatment.
I'm currently on a second round of Prednisone for a skin rash of unknown cause. First one was 60mg 3x3, 3x3, and 3x1. That failed to knock it down, so I'm on a 5x3, 5x2, and 5x1. The itching was driving me crazy. I tried hydro-cortisone, and that didn't help very much. Went with Calahist, which helped but not enough. Finally I thought to search for "Does DMSO help with itching?" and the answer was "Well, it's an anti-inflammatory and analgesic, so sure." Tried it (70%), and it's working!
With MG the muscles will not allow much exercise during a flare, which I am currently in. DMSO is great for pain and I use it for a variety of other things as well. I've run into so many folks who are scared of using it for their pain because of the word 'solvent' that sometimes appears in references to it.
I've been having great luck taking 99% DMSO @2.5ml twice daily, 1/2 hr after meals. I mix it into 1/8 cup well water, (filtered through a high end, passive Berkey water filtration system.)
Before I started on the DMSO I was losing 2-3 lbs a week. No one could tell me why. I lost 60 lbs in total but within a week of starting on the DMSO my weight loss stopped and the elasticity of my skin returned, (even if it has noticeably dried out to the point I need to moisturize it with a vitamin E, Cocoa & Shea Butter lotionfor sensitive skin.
Topically I use the 99% DMSO mixed 70/30 with Aloe Vera gel on my feet and legs to deal with neuropathy. It only takes a few minutes for it to take effect. Relief usually lasts a few hours.
This might be a good time to thank you, Doctor, for literally saving my life. I was wasting away! I think I can safely say that out loud.
You're much too grounded to suffer from a God Complex.
I also want to mention that DMSO can be put on the forehead and neck and throat if there is fear of stroke . this is from my extensive reading of DMSO . I used it 50%. it worked for me .
Your comment about fluid stagnation reminded me to ask you a question regarding using DMSO on muscle strains and sprains. I find that DMSO does help, but a side-effect seems to be greatly extended visible bruising. Is that due to the DMSO facilitating the movement of trapped blood much further than it would typically travel?
DMSO works on bone-related pain, such as spinal injuries, immediately. With minor neuropathy is both hands at the fingertips I tried DMSO on my left hand for a week, once a day. Sterility is critical when using DMSO but it reduced the neuropathy by 80-90% so I'm doing both hands now. DMSO is an interesting drug as is Hematoxylin but I don't expect these drugs to stop my cancer. Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy have, so far, had the best results.
I will speak highly though of DMSO which I bought for my shoulder rotor cuff injury after gardening too much. Couldn’t lift my arm above my neck area for months and after doing some research decided to buy a jar which has some aloe Vera gel included in mixture. Within a month my shoulder improved over 50% and some exercise, but not only that I had a dark mole on my shoulder blade which disappeared completely and can only put it down to this DSMO. I was so excited that I’m going to try using it on my varicose veins to see what happens. I also have read various articles on the great success of food grade (6 or 12%) hydrogen peroxide daily in juice or water as a cure for lots of things. Also highly recommend the potential of oil of oregano daily diluted and or mixed as a potent cream for all things.
Thank you! This is fantastic. There are currently 2 trials investigating Mebendazole and pediatric brain tumors. So the higher ups suspect what we are seeing on the ground. With benzimidazoles I am personally aware of 3 miraculous cases of complete resolution (we corrected one's lingering vision problem overnight with DMSO).
Agreed. I have seen a few miracles: stage IV NSCLC resolve inside 4 months, GBM in 3 cases, in similar time frame, and recently an astounding finding in my sister that can only be explained by the MOA of DMSO+IVM. I've worked hard to replicate these results in others, but I do not see the pattern. The NSCLC was the most puzzling b/c it was when I first started and used very low doses.
I then privately asked exactly how the vision was restored and then was told:
"I believe he had compression of an optic nerve so he was virtually blind in one eye. The tumor vanished in like 8 months with mebendazole, but he still had near blindness in his eye. Taught him about DMSO eye drops. The very next morning, his wife text me and said his vision had returned to normal after using the drops I made him. It was a 20%solution. I just checked in with him, and a year out, he is still cancer free and still has all his vision."
[in response to a question about loss of smell and taste from COVID-19]
I smell it in. Put some 85% DMSO onto a paintbrush and either just sniff or apply to a body part and sniff. See also a reply to the Good Doctor's article on DMSO and skin where someone describes using essential oils to repair the sense of smell.
Mine gradually disappeared year on year over the last 20 years. I've been doing all this for 3 months and making marvellous progress.
First, I have to report that I use DMSO for bone mets in one vertebrae of the spine and on tailbone. It has been a lifesaver. I had trouble figuring out where the pain and aching was originating from and then imaging finally located. So, I take DMSO orally and also apply topically to the affected areas. I am pain-free which allows me to sleep and do daily activities. Figuring out dosing was challenging, but have worked that out. Also, original tumor spot is activity free-ish - I also use DMSO on it and it appears to still be there to some degree but not doing anything.
I've been trying out DMSO and have had one small (but striking to me) success. After tending to my husband for a handful of gout flare-ups (including one that required steroids as well as Mitigare to resolve), I believe I understand the symptoms. When I started having pain by the right bunion area while walking, I took my shoes and socks off to have a look. Sure enough, my foot was thicker in that area. It was not really red or hot yet. I decided to try DMSO. I rubbed it on 5-6 times that day. Then I read that people soak their feet in a baking soda bath. So the second day I made a paste of DMSO (70%) and aluminum-free baking soda and applied it several times. By the 3rd day I was pain-free and could walk perfectly fine, even though there was still some swelling. I also noticed that my skin was rougher in the places where the baking soda had stayed thicker on my skin. By day 4 I was not putting anything on and my feet were the identical thickness again. My husband thinks I did NOT have gout based on the fact that it didn't get as bad as his flare-ups had. I think I intervened in time. I don't know if the roughness would have smoothed out on its own, but I did rub cold-pressed, unrefined organic castor oil on it for a couple of days and my foot is perfect again. (Note: I previously had bunionectomies on both feet over 25 years ago)
I have slightly arthritic knees (I blame on the beating they took from basketball in my younger years) which would always hurt me the day after I did any sort of high or even medium impact activity (even bike riding). I started spraying my knees with 70% DMSO after every workout/bike-ride. I hardly feel any pain now the next day. I can't thank you enough for your DMSO material! It also took care of a chronic trigger-finger/tendinitis on one of my thumbs. Something that 2 cortisone shots couldn't do, and I was already contemplating surgery. It did take 4+ months of daily use until I could be sure that the DMSO was actually working - and I would've given up long before that had I not read in one of your substacks that for chronic issues it can take a few months.
Reporting a DMSO miracle even tho off topic. I have had cyst in scalp removed surgically 2x and once with a fish oil injection by integrative practitioner. I started using DMSO gel daily on my unicorn bump, and after it swelled up and hurt for a month, it dissolved, a thin liquid came out and has been draining for the last 4 days. Just a bit of puffiness now. I am thrilled!
I've been using Amanda's DMSO eye drops (20%) [for cataracts] and one return visit to eye doctor showed a slight improvement. He said that fluctuations can occur - I didn't mention I was using DMSO eye drops. Word of warning - the drops sting and I've nicknamed them "firedrops". Another eye appointment coming up soon and I'm eager to see what the status is.
I started to use dmso about 3 months ago. I mixed up about a 50% solution with distilled water and dmso. I gradually increased the strength from 50% to 60% and now 70%. Up until I had started using dmso, I had been seeing a chiropractor for my wrists and thumbs. The pain that I had came on suddenly. I tried to think what kind of repetitive motion things I'd been doing. At first, I thought about the chain maille jewelry making that I had been learning. I thought that could do it; but, it had been months since I had made anything.
I think I'd been seeing the chiropractor once ever 7 to 10 days before I got my first bottle of dmso, after reading so many articles from Midwestern Doctor. Now, with the chiropractic therapy and the dmso therapy, the thumb and wrist of my left hand is relatively pain free. It's taking longer for the right wrist and thumb to recover; but, I can tell that there is significant improvement.
I have Hashimoto's and have begun to use DMSO. Since starting the DMSO I need to take a lower dose of replacement thyroid hormones. Is this usual? Why is this? Is the T3 finding its way into the cells where it is needed more efficiently?
I am having a problem with the outside of my right hip. For a few years I heard a noise in the hip when raising my leg. I finally think it is the tendon sliding over the hip joint. There was a flare up about 4 months ago and it started again in the last week. One scary aspect; going down stairs the pain almost collapsed my leg.
I have been using 100% gel DMSO applied to the skin of my hip and lower back area. Some days I have used it twice and sometimes once. There are helpful results sometimes, but the pain can come back. I plan to keep the applications of DMSO. I will begin to apply 3 times a day and keeping records.
I have been using dmso for years on my wrist, knees, and back. Its a miracle. You don't even have to swallow it for it to make you smell like garlic. It goes through the skin quick, and into the body, and your body will produce the smell. An unfortunate side effect of a great medical tool.
This may seem silly and trivial…but I have found taking DMSO in raw milk orally eliminated the smell that a person puts off when taking it. My husband had a stem cell transplant and since stem cells were stored in DMSO, he smelled so bad I couldn’t stand to get near him for a while. Later I learned about using it and just to take it in something that masked the taste I used raw milk. None of us ever developed the stink. I read Dr. Jacob’s book and he briefly mentioned the same outcome in the Chilean children and attributed it to them drinking raw milk. Hope that helps someone who is using it orally.
We have been having success for some years now in obtaining Acyclovir in PARENTERAL form (for i.v.....) (glass vial that receives a diluent) and re-consitituying
the medication. Mixing 40% this 60% Dmso and apply to the lesions for HERPES Zoster
infections. On the skin. Especially in the acute - few days - infections is very effective.
If months, helps but very little.
Lesions dry up quickly and, especially, seldom recure. In a few times used the same has
happened in genital. Infections; not have tried for G. warts. Probably less effective.....
Indeed, I was long used to poor flow, but I developed sudden extreme urgency which made me take up DMSO to see if it could help, which it has done handsomely for both issues.
I have found that DMSO really helps with impaired urine flow so I assume it is having that effect on my prostate, although I have seen no experimental data to verify this.
For me Urine flow and urgency to go. I feel, yet I have not had it examined that the reason for the positive effects is that the DMSO is shrinking the prostate.
I have a BIG success story from my own life this past week. Combo of oral DMSO with 12mg tablet of ivermectin. It worked like a miracle. Seriously, unbelievable muscle pain relieved in 2 doses given, separated by 6 hours
Hi Lance, Thank you for your contribution to this article. I have read everything I can and I am most interested in your research. Yesterday I started using the D-Hematoxylin on my Mom for metastatic kidney cancer that has created a 5.3 x 4.0 cm tumor in her right lung. I mixed 1/4 teaspoon of hematoxylin into 1/2 teaspoon of 99.9% DMSO in a glass and used 2 drops of this mixture in 3 cm saline solution in her nebulizer. The second dose I used 4 drops. She had quite a bit of coughing and this morning she coughed up a 2 1/4 inch chunk of blood that had been compressed into looking like a bronchial tube. (These scared me until pulmonologist told me how they are formed) and has completely stopped coughing. I nebulized 5 drops of nascent iodine with saline because some fresh blood followed the clot and then after a nap and few hours had passed, gave her two drops of D-hematoxylin in saline.
I tried it first on myself before I used it on my Mom and there was no change in the nebulizer and no effect on me. When Mom used it, the nebulizer turned red, showing us what Dr. Tucker was talking about when he said it only stains the cancer cells.
This is where I got the hematoxylin. Everything I read seems to indicate it is 100% hematoxylin. On the top right of the bottle is says “Chemical Name (%) and right below that it says Hematoxylin (100) CAS517-28-2
I've had swollen fingers for years, diagnosed as gout from the symptoms, also as arthritis and knuckle pads. Turns out that the irritating factor is not crystals, but thorns, splinters, dirt and other muck and rubbish in my fingers. Quite literally hundreds of bits have come out of my hands since applying DMSO (literally) and also drinking it. Varying the concentration every few days seems to work best, but definitely including 85%.
Swelling and pain much reduced, and movement improved. Still persevering.
Some of the things stuck in my fingers were actually bodily materials, such as scabs and dry blood, and slivers of dry skin. I work outside a lot and tend to allow blood and cuts to dry on the skin, just washing it off in the evening (or failing to do so). I have had very dry skin over the years, and this partly accounts for dirt getting incorporated into the layers of skin instead of washing off.
I've also realised that I actually should be picking off scabs (having had it drummmed into me to never do so). Whereas the scab material locks around splinters and thorns, and the foreign material comes out along with the scab.
I also have a lot of bite scars on my hands from puncture wounds, and these opened up again revealing dark marks in the centre. In recent years I've learned to continue to scratch out bite wounds and apply saline, until all signs of pus bubbling up have cleared. These wounds did not reopen, only the older ones. So these old ones reopened I scratched them out as well, then allowing them to reheal.
When these old wounds were reopening, my skin looked quite bad, bubbling up and looking horrible. So I surmise that some people's 'bad reactions' to DMSO, are in fact good healthy reactions as the DMSO does its work. I also wonder if this could account for why DMSO appears to cause eczema in some people...that instead it's revealing old layers of skin irritation that didn't heal properly, instead just layered over with additional skin.
During the time that the majority of the dirt was coming out of my hands (roughly 6 weeks)I needed a great deal of extra rest. I surmise that a similar process was going on inside my body of clearing away excess fibrous tissue. Certainly I have a lot more general flexibility of movement now.
Thank you again many times for your fabulous work.
Thank you very much for all your work. You're recommendations have helped me tremendously. I'm terribly EMF sensitive and have had neurological issues due to psychosocial distress and a bit on the ASD spectrum. I now have balance, energy, motivation, clarity, calmness, resilience that I could not achieve with supplements. EMF sensitivity is still a constant but DMSO calms my nervous system and muscles quickly to where its manageable. This is why I divide the dose am and pm.
MWD - Interesting tidbit... Five nights a week I take a tablespoon of 100% DMSO diluted to 20%. (It potentiates the 160mg IR verapamil I take at the same time for nocturnal leg cramps yielding total control.) The DMSO then takes over my morning Keto diet meter reading. Stopping DMSO for one day drops the ppm reading by 40%. Stopping for two days drops it by 91%. For me this verifies your recommendation to limit DMSO to five days a week.
I use it on my face for rosacea and wrinkles! It stings and burns for about 15 minutes but I read by applying aloe vera cream on top of the DMSO it will help that problem. dmsostore.com. I use the peppermint DMSO
I have had various skin cancers, including two melanomas. I have been the one to find them before the dermatologists, and felt there were two more on my face that were coming, so I used the DMSO on those, and they have resolved. As someone else said, it does dry out the skin on my face, so afterwards I use a skin lotion to lubricate it again.
I’ve used DMSO on superficial wounds(paper cuts, scrapes, when you jam your fingernail and it separates from the skin a little. Hate that! ) and I am always amazed the next day. If it isn’t nearly all “sealed” it’s usually more than halfway healed overnight! Usually by the next day, pain is gone and just tender feeling. It speeds up wound healing like nothing else.
At your recommendation I began improving zeta potential and since using it my incidents of atrial fibrillation almost completely stopped. I am also using natural rope fiber soled shoes outside at times to improve the earthing element, so that to may be helping. I also have two teaspoons of DMSO in the AM.
I clean and dry my hands and apply 70% DMSO in aloe vera gell using my fingers. My wife is sensitive and gets very itchy so since DMSO helps her I have been applying it lately to her back and hip at night time when she is sleeping and the itching doesn't bother her.
DMSO - I can testify that DMSO has had an immediate benefit to me as I have suffered a spike in arthritis and/or inflammatory response in several joints - it has to be reapplied for sure but the effect , for me, is undeniable - all down to me reading your magnum opus article on DMSO - many thanks
I have been treating myself and my wife with oral DMSO. One advantage is that I don't notice her garlic breath as I have the same thing and the odor sensitive cells are saturated, so I am insensitive to DMSO breath. I stopped the decline of early onset Alzheimer's in my wife by luck. She developed some horrid bed sores. I broke out the emergency use drugs, veterinarian grade pharmaceuticals, ivermectin and fenbendazole.
1 tsp per day for each of us still uses up the 8oz bottles from the DMSO store, available at Amazon for $26. Each shipment from Amazon includes an invitation for one to visit the DMSO store. I just bought a gallon for $160 that will allow me to refill several 8oz bottles for $10 each. Buy the small bottles and test diluted samples topically before trying highly diluted oral doses of 1 tsp per day. I use 1 tsp in 6 oz of fruit juice. It still has an oily taste.
The month by month decline stopped. Way too late. She is bed bound and I have to feed her by hand. Stable for 18 months. Eats well, better hygiene, has her left with no sores or irritated pink skin. So, now I am trying to help her brain cells caught in "cell danger response" to wake up. Thus, the 1 tsp of DMSO per day. It is perfectly legally and morally acceptable for me to do something that doctors cannot. I am using gentle sexual stimulation to increase brain function. She babbles more. Still not understandable. Hip and leg motion does prove stimulation. I don't know if this will improve brain function over time. It has improved her acceptance of changing her Depends.
I starting using the DMSO last night. I got the tingling and itching where I applied it like expected. Afterwards, I could feel it moving through my body and having an effect on different areas, but the best part was I could feel my sinuses opening up and I could breath better. I had the best sleep last night, I didn't want to get up this morning. Today, my husband and I are noticing that water tastes different to us. It has this horrible after taste now. I haven't noticed a change in taste with anything else. I've had my taste change after a parasite cleanse so I know how that sense can respond changes in the body but wondered if this was common side effect and if it goes away over time.
I also applied it to my back and shoulders that get sore from stress, I would say the pain was about 90% gone. It took about 15 minutes for the pain relief to kick in. Have used it several times on my hubby's back and shoulder when he has pain after jiu jitsu, he says it helps significantly.
Disclaimer: This is not official medical advice—interpret and apply as you see fit. I’ve been following a cystic fibrosis patient whose lung function had steadily declined over 25 years. In just one month, we achieved a remarkable turnaround using a simple, integrative approach: Topical DMSO 99% applied to chest and back Nebulized glutathione, starting at 125 mg twice daily and titrating every two weeks up to 500–600 mg twice daily A follow-up PFT revealed a 5% improvement in FEV₁—virtually unheard of in CF. I’ve since observed similar benefits in several COPD patients (both emphysema and chronic bronchitis phenotypes). As for propolis and hydrogen peroxide nebulization, I recommend sticking to the oral route for propolis, since inhaled formulations can sometimes irritate airways and negate the gains from DMSO and glutathione. The same caution applies to hydrogen peroxide nebulization.
I am a physician with 43 years of practice so far. I told a fellow MD about the DMSO I had read in your articles. He applied DMSO to a physician who had intractable headaches and somehow cured what none of the neurologists could fix. No more headaches and no further treatment. This patient MD was going to quit work because of the headaches! I have many patients now who have benefited from your great work in putting these articles together. Thanks from all.
In the winter especially, I get these tiny splits (a tiny open wound) in the skin on my finger tips, which are exceedingly painful if you bump the finger tip on anything. Which is very east to do if I am doing any kind of manual labor, or just doing anything. Last one I had a month or so back, I had been dealing with it for a couple of weeks, rubbing in every known lotion trying to keep it soft. But it seemed no better. (when I used to work in the hospital, many would get these from using latex gloved coated with powder to make them easier to get on. The only thing that ever helped us was a very powerful prescription steroid cream, but using 1% hydrocortisone cream(non- prescription) didn't seem to help much. ......................................... Anyway, this last one, I decided to SOAK it for a minute or 2 in 99.9% DMSO. Within 2 hours, it was noticeably better! The next day it was 90% better. I soaked it again. By later that day 100% of pain was gone, though it took a few days for the split to 100% close up. I was thrilled, thinking I'd never have to suffer with these things again! ......................... Well, a couple of days ago I was doing a lot of work repairing some rotted wood behind a gutter on my house. ( kind of hard because I had no help and am 76 years old) I developed another one my thumb. I soaked in DMSO, and did not get much improvement. Repeated, still not much improvement, thought "OH NO, it is not going to work!". I have been coating it with equiv of chap stick to keep it flexible and moist and reduce the pain. Now, 2 or 3 days into it, I soaked it 1 more time. Now, a few hours later, I notice pain is 90% gone!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I think this was s significantly larger split, plus it was extra hard not to re-injur it what with it being on my thumb. Even buttoning a shirt was painful and re-injuring. Maybe that is why it took longer? But even so, these things can take weeks to heal, so I am still delighted!
I did the same thing a couple days ago after taking a flying fall on a hiking trail. I was wearing gloves but the fall still broke the skin on the heel of my palm. I applied DMSO to the periphery of the bleeding area.
Now here's the amazing part of that story. After I got up from the fall, I had a bruise on the muscle just to the right of, and slightly above, the kneecap of the left leg (quad muscle). It was about the size of a nickel, blue-ish and getting darker. I had arnica with me, so I took some. I realized the hike was over, so I began hiking back to the trailhead, but the pain in my knee and the quad muscle was intense. Then I remembered I had DMSO in my pack. I put some on the bruised area, the pain went away immediately, but the surprise was so did the bruise! I mean like maybe 1/2 minute, 1 minute, the blue color of the bruised tissue was back to normal. I've never had a bruise like that disappear. I figured it would turn an ugly black and blue and would take a week or more for it to disappear. The pain came back as I was walking, but I just reapplied DMSO about every 20 minutes or so till I got back to the trailhead. Two days later the leg is almost back to normal, no residual pain when I walk or even run very slowly. DMSO is a miracle!
I just got some DMSO for myself and my patients and I’ve been experimenting with it. It’s so good to read just how safe and effective it is. I am blown away!
Just wanted to tell you that I have been making a skin serum with ascorbic acid power, a little baking soda to balance the PH, distilled water and DMSO. It is very effective and my skin hasn't looked better. The only downfall is I have to make a fresh batch regularly as I can not use any preservatives ( although the vit C has that capacity) due to the possibility of DMSO amplifying it's effects. Reading about the use of DMSO in skin cancer treatments was very interesting, thank you.
1) I have moved my oral DMSO to bedtime. I take 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon in a glass of water. As a result I no longer need to treat the soles of my feet. The nocturnal shooting pains have not returned.
2) I have had a patch of prickly, itchy, gnarly, lumpy varicosities in my right calf since 2015. Several weeks ago at bedtime I began applying 100% DMSO, covering with food wrap and an ACE bandage. It burns for the expected 20 minutes and then quiets down. The prickle and itch are largely resolved and the lumps are still there but are amazingly softer.
I can barely tolerate liquid DMSO at 5% 2x week (fyi I did have some positive results at 5%), but I tried the 70% gel with and without aloe vera and I can tolerate gel with minimal itching at 35%.
I'm using DMSO for my pet goldfish. It got too cold one night about a month ago. For a week it looked completely dead except for a tiny movement in the gills. Now it's swimming for a minute several times a day and starting to look hopeful as I gradually give it a bigger daily dose.
I'm taking DMSO to see what it can do for my CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia), and it's worked pretty well so far! After taking 15ml daily for 2 months, my lymphocyte count dropped 25%, from 14.5 to 10.9. That's lower than it was when I was diagnosed 5 years ago. It was 12.3 then. I only weigh 115 pounds, so you may need more, depending on your weight. I based my dosage on a guy who posted about his success with it whose weight was 225 and he took 30ml/day. Whatever you decide to do, good luck to you!
I did use ivermectin and fenben for 10 months in '23-'24, and they worked too. Also got my count down to the same as now, but it went back up right after I stopped them. By then I'd heard about DMSO and decided to try it. No other treatments, except for a few supplements-vitamin D, k2, & zinc. I just this week started on green tea extract and curcumin supplements. That's a CLL treatment I tried before, but I'm hoping it works better in combination with the DMSO.
I feel I'm gaining grounds [on long covid] with DMSO 1 tablespoon twice a day with the global issues, if I can just remember to do it consistently. And will explore the chlorine dioxide which I have after I'm consistent with a DMSO, and my cognition comes up a little bit more. Excited that Corry KORYwrote a letter to allow DMSO, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide and I think a few other things TO HAVE THE BAND TAKEN OFF SO THEY CAN BE RESEARCHED FOR HUMAN USE .
Condition: inflammation and fracture of medial femural condyle due to folded-over stray piece of meniscus.
Objective: to heal the bone and its inflamed surface sufficiently to make surgical removal of meniscus fragment feasible.
In addition to osteopath's recommended procedures to facilitate recovery, I applied DMSO at 100%, twice a day, to the knee, in sufficient quantity to fully wet all the surfaces, but not to run off. (This takes about 1/2 tsp or so). I let it dry in before putting on pants.
Result: HUGE PAIN REDUCTION after two treatments.
Problem and Question: At fourth treatment the skin on the knee began to sting but it went away.
Fifth treatment: stinging and a bright red rash of tiny little bumps, like the surface of broccoli, appeared on the knee.
I stopped the treatments.
There was no residual damage to the skin which returned to normal in a few hours or less.
SOLUTION ANYONE? It has been two days of no DMSO; I'd like to resume use. If I do not get the bone healed the only surgical solution is a TOTAL KNEE, a much more fraught surgery. Is a diluted solution less likely to cause the rash? If yes, is a diluted solution as effective? Or is it better to suffer the rash at 100% strength, reducing frequency of application, in order to enhance healing response? Is the rash, in and of itself, a danger, or just a passing phase that one can cautiously ignore and endure for the sake of the benefits of DMSO?
As usual: unexceptionable! I would like to give a contribution: a 12% solution of DMSO+ 10% xylitol+ 0.2% nacl+ 0.1% nahco3 sprayed every night on the nose and ears. Although it is gentle, it has a good effect on the biofilm which is the network that traps and feeds viruses. Since it is delicate, it must be used continuously
DMSO is the only thing that stops my headaches in their tracks. 1 tsp in a jigger of grape juice, the relief is immediate.
Unfortunately, the smell on my body is also immediate, and if I want to have a relationship with my husband, I cannot take. He's spoken of the smell as "stale urine," "rotting flesh," or "rotten fruit."
I kind of resent his extreme reaction to my stench, but the hassle of dealing with him is too great - he has cut me off from an effective treatment - then he can deal with my grumpy, pained self.
So - the headaches come, and I'm back to paracetamol & codeine (cannabis medicine doesn't do anything for headaches, but helps immensely with musculoskeletal pain).
I rubbed DMSO cream plus Plantain beeswax ointment on my chest and neck for congestion and it worked great! Didn't think to rub the DSMO on my forehead for some reason!
DMSO works for my headaches. Start with low concentration and increase as needed. First few applications may itch or sting but each skin area adapts after a few applications. I used to use lots of aspirin but haven't used any since learning about DMSO from AMD.
I have extremely sensitive skin but have never had a rash from using DMSO. I had itching a couple times with my feet, but it wasn't surface/skin itching, it was deeper, like when something is healing and it itches. It went away. I think there was something that was helped by DMSO
A question regarding DMSO: Are migraine-like headaches a side effect that you've heard of? I've experimented with it enough at this point that I can say with certainty that it causes migraines for me. There is a linear relationship between the dose and the pain. At 1mL per day, I detect almost nothing; at 5mL per day I detect moderate symptoms; at 20mL per day I'm laid out in bed unable to function. It always starts in my frontal sinus and spreads throughout my head. The migraine consistently comes on after ~18 hours of drinking DMSO.
I have a mild, chronic mucosal inflammation in my frontal and ethmoid sinuses, and minimal inflammation in my maxillae and sphenoid sinuses. Perhaps that's part of it. Perhaps the supplements I'm taking are part of it. But whatever interaction may be at play, it's bad enough that my use of DMSO needs to be less than 2mL per day (at which dose I experience only minimal positive effects). Although the positive effects that I do feel at higher doses include faster healing, well being, reduced anxiety, reduced inflammation etc. which is truly wonderful.
My friend, George (70 year old obese male with a disabling spinal injury, limited mobility and slow metabolism) was diagnosed with Stage 4 Merkel Cell carcinoma in August. He had a surgical procedure to cut out the bump on the outside of his right calf and a tiny bit more near the lymph node close to his right hip. After 2 months, when the standard, "compression socks and elevate the legs procedure" wasn't working; we began treating the surgical wound with a once daily application of DMSO 70/30 gel in the last week of October. (Also weekly acupuncture treatment from a highly experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor for 5 or 6 weeks, before Christmas.) The 3.5 inch long bloody gash is now a narrow, half inch wedge-shaped crack that no longer requires a bandage. His last scan showed a very slight swelling of the lymph node but nothing abnormal given the wound healing going on in that leg.
Do you have any resources on making a mouthrinse with DMSO? I did a 50% dilution based on your previous article and wow was it strong (but tooth pain gone). Is it possible to add clove oil or something to it or would that cause issues?
I had 'brain fog' for 6-8 weeks after a total hip job which I am pretty sure was from the anesthetic, started drinking 2 tsp DMSO in 8oz water ~6-7 weeks after the op [after reading your article on internal uses for DMSO] and feel this totally cured it in about 1 week and now my brain is very much back to normal]
I used to have the kind of mind that once skated through an Ivy League degree. Thanks to your writings on DMSO and Walsh's nutritional therapy (ADHD), the last couple weeks I have begun to feel the fire that used to burn inside of my mind, the brilliant processing ability I used to take for granted. My brain actually works!! I started studying a difficult subject because my long-struggling brain now needs something to chew on. I can actually dream about building something in life. Due to DMSO, when I look into my body, I don't see patches of dark with only a few cells producing light, I'm beginning to see more life energy throughout. I spent thirteen years with the sole, fulltime mission of self healing, and thanks to your work I understand the cause and have a treatment that seems to be bumping me closer to 100% than I ever dared hope. You are making a huge difference in the world.
I can try to explain what I did to get to where I was before these treatments, but I'm not sure it's replicateable.
I live in what is known as a medical desert here in France, where it can take months or years to find any practitioner to take a new patient. I have found your information on DMSO absolutely invaluable, as have several of my close friends. It's just so very sad we didn't have this knowledge years ago.
Also, I’ve been using DMSO on a chronic elbow issue and it’s working brilliantly! I am a Chiropractor and am recommending it for all kinds of things in my practice. The local health stores are having trouble keeping it on the shelves thanks to your brilliant writing! And I’m in Ontario Canada! 🙌🙌🙌
I too have been using DMSO for a chronic pain condition from a spinal injury because of this site. It has been very helpful. It is indeed a travesty that it was prohibited for so long.
With a Covid protocol I regained part of my smell and taste which is exactly as you explained in your hearing loss. You can smell some things and other things really smell off because you've lost just certain parts Where food that used to taste good taste like medicine, or sewage. As it starts to return it normalizes. Thanks again for sharing. I will say I started drinking DMSO utilizing the basic protocol because I was desperate with no money and no doctors that think Long-Haul is real, or whatever. And the neuropathy/atrophy/sensation in my lower right leg started to normalize. Pretty cool after three years of the above symptoms along with intermittent edema in both legs drastically went down. all of these symptoms started with Covid/Long-Haul 2020
Base of skull is also an excellent place to do a topically as your brain houses a lot of the neurological functioning of our sensory systems. I was amazed that it was either DMSO and or chlorine dioxide used as eardrops help profoundly for conditions that are so hard for people to get rid of. But again I believe the Midwestern docs or Dr. Yoho said that taking it orally is tenfold effective for many conditions like you're talking about, and then you actually find out it helps other things you never thought would change. So much new research out there that supports all this, sure to share if you find anything that you really like research wise That can help us grow.
I totally understand what you are saying. But I'm seeing changes that I never thought possible using DMSO, ivermectin as well as LDN in the injuries I've gotten since Covid.
So DMSO is working for you ..... fantastic, and only if you're comfortable
you could start a lower dose orally in Purified/distilled water and titrate up As needed or tolerated like I did.
Some sources say you can camouflage the taste in different types of liquids but I would refer to
A REPUTABLE TRUSTED/experienced RESORCE (Stanley Jacobs, the Midwestern doctor, Dr. Yoho)
as anytime we make modifications to a suggested protocols, it can totally change the way it was meant to be used, as well as the bio availability of the product that were using.
I have been applying DMSO topically on my face, neck and around my ears, as well as several parts of my body (arms, legs, abdomen) for four months.
A few things:
1) A skin tag on one of my arms dried up and fell off.
2) One of the covid vaccine side effects that I experienced is that I lost hearing in the low tone and high tones. After topical use of DMSO for several months, my low tone mild hearing impairment is now in the normal range. It improved by 10 to 15 dB in both ears. However, my high tone hearing impairment has not yet improved.
3) I have not been as susceptible to respiratory imfections.
4) My brain fog has improved. (Another covid vaccine side effect).
5) I am more emotionally balanced and feel energetically protected.
My wife and I are both actively using DMSO and mms thanks to your DMSO articles and your recommend of Dr. Yoho. We've both been struggling with health issues for many years and I feel a new real hope again for both of us
He told me to check with my doctor about applying DMSO on my total knee replacement area—my doctor said no. I’m thinking that DMSO would eventually degrade the implant, since it’s made from cobalt and polyethylene, and since DMSO is a solvent.
Before I asked the doctor, I applied DMSO on my knee—just two applications, and it seemed to have helped my range of motion and inflammation. Unfortunately, it’s not wise to use it, so I stopped.
I have a severely compressed nerve at c3-c4 that causes so much pain. I tried topical DMSO on it last week; I dabbed a few drops on with a cotton ball. It dropped the pain about 80-90% in a few minutes.
I've had three levels fused in my neck already and don't want anymore surgery. I hope this proves to be a lasting help. Good luck with your husband's pain.
DMSO is changing the neuropathy and the micro clotting and total arterial blockage of Popliteal artery artery right leg and intermittent edema bilaterally (Totally healthy before Covid I now have ground glass in my lungs with possible atrophy? And intermittent breathing problem along with intermittent hypo hypertension and same thing for the heart rate and Yep it intermittently gets better when I do certain protocols so I can function.
A couple of days ago, a skin tag that I had on my arm for more than 2 years fell off. I had no idea what caused it to fall off. It occurred to me about a day later that the DMSO I had been applying to my arms once a day was likely the reason!!!! Amazing!!
I have been using DMSO for about three months, but haven't always been applying on that spot.
I'm also allergic to sulfa drugs but I'm taking DMSO orally, about 1/2 tsp per day in tea. No bad reaction. Also, you could do a patch test as AMD describes in the articles to see if you get hives or whatever the sulfa reaction is. (Mine is hives.)
I had a little skin horn on my finger. Just a rough snag that I could feel. I put 1% DMSO on it, and it "flaked off" forming a small crater. The crater took a week to heal, but the horn is much smaller and less intrusive (it is still there, and I'm still treating it regularly when I remember).
I would love reading it. I read constantly and love knowing stuff. DMSO helps me all the time. In fact, DMSO is only second to Chlorine Dioxide. They are both used together quite a bit.
My Dear Midwestern Doctor, I am actually in awe of the thoroughness and exactitude of your writings in your Substack. It has helped me enormously since I've been following you as a subscriber . . . particularly, in my case your posts on DMSO which I've been able to use to handle the pain resulting from spinal injuries incurred playing Rugby in my youth in Australia 75 years ago.
I’m happy to hear the Dr Miller is finding success with DMSO. My husband and I are trying it for different issues and are finding success. The big issues were for neuropathy and arthritis, which have been extremely successful and relieved us of pain. I’ve reported these before. But recently, I began treating enlarged pores and an enlarged hair follicle on my face successfully. I use it full strength even though AMD recommended using it about 1/2 strength with no problems. We are also trying to rid our bodies of the seborrheic keratoses with some improvement. It is definitely a miracle drug.
DMSO helped my plantar fasciitis - which was from a broken toe pulling on the muscles of the foot.
The next time I broke a toe, I used DMSO right away, and it was a much better healing.
Turns out, hubby broke a toe 3 days ago, and after DMSO he hardly notices it. He's now a believer.
THE ONLY WAY you will figure it out is to get some and start small. Use it on something insignificant - that mole that's been bothering you. Gain confidence as you gradually increase the percentage.
I started with 1%, and as I watched my skin improve, made up a 30%. It took me a few weeks to get up to 70%. I now coat my entire body once a day with it.
FOR MY BODY, it seems to need to be 50-70% to penetrate muscles. But 1%-30% seems fine for skin & topical.
my wife has plantar fascitis(PF) and other related foot problems that complicate an explanation; used special shoes, had special orthotic inserts. . . until I heard from the MWD website this last few months about DMSO. She tried that and walks on her bare feet on hard floors with no problems/ almost no pain now.
I developed a weakness in my left ankle/heal area with pain only when going up stairs. It really hurt.id have to hang on to the railing to pull myself up. I started rubbing on DMSO 99.995% gel I got at Tractor Supply. I rubbed it in good around 2 times a day. I don’t mind the bit of itching and burning I feel but it goes away. It helped right away and within 2 weeks it’s gone. Along with some mild knee pain that I had not even used the gel on. I would definitely use DMSO for PF. I had that once and never want it again. Thinking I may have saved weeks of barely getting around in pain if I had known about DMSO.
Hi, I have chronic pain in my right ankle, and have been using DMSO topically, from the DMSO Store (on Amazon), pharmaceutical grade, every night and the pain is improving. My pain if from years and years of running. I've been very impressed with how much better my ankle feels.
I also put two teaspoons in water, cranberry juice (Northland) and Aronia Berry concentrate (On Amazon) every day and that's been a big help to my arthritis overall. (The drink is ~ 16 oz water, 2 oz Aronia concentrate and 6 oz of cranberry juice).
I spoke to my doctor about DMSO and she was very enthusiastic- she uses it topically and recommends it to her patients. Note - she's in independent practice and is not in network with any insurance carriers.
My son has retinitis Pigmentosa. He uses 20% DMSO eyedrops we buy from Canada. They help his [eye's] field of vision. We tried to find a Dr. to guide him with this , but none would. He wants to get contacts now. Would he be able to put drops in at night and contacts in in the morning?
I once knew great things could happen in PT from DMSO application, but just forgot why I had that bottle in the closet. But, you have blown my mind about the many uses for this forgotten medicine.
I’ve been using 20% diluted on my face for the last two weeks and my skin is smoother and tighter and any skin discoloration I had has almost disappeared. However the first week of using it I had what I thought was a pimple form on my scalp which has never happened before and puss oozed out of it for a couple days. Now it’s healed and completely gone. I have read similar things happening to other people.. possibly the body getting rid of toxins?
So yesterday I tried DMSO on the side of my neck that's been in agony for a while because of a stenosis on the c3-c4 spinal nerve. Also may have wrenched a ligament there while weight training. I dabbed on a few drops of 99% Heiltropfen DMSO from Amazon. Fifteen bucks a bottle of this pure stuff!
I had a spell of burning that only lasted a few minutes. I repeated this once around noon and then put a few drops on again near bedtime.
After the first application the pain dropped 80-90%. Then later in the day the ligament felt a bit tender but still didn't have the pain I'd been living with
Got up this morning... No pain. I'm typing this on my cell phone which typically triggers agony because of the neck posture. Zero pain.
Thank you AMD! I'll keep using this because I really got much better and have had no short term bad side effects.
I've been using DMSO successfully on my hands for about a month to help with Raynauds. I apply it two to three times a day to my fingers and hands and have had great success, no longer needing to wear fingerless gloves around the house. It has been live changing.
By the grace of God my son has been almost completely healed of his very severe eczema. He wore a short sleeve shirt today for the first time in his little two year old life and did not scratch once. His skin is also silky smooth!
My 63 year mom has been starting to use dmso now topically after seeing his results for her severe neuropathy and she wants to start taking it orally but is nervous because she’s on blood thinners due to have factor 5 lichen (which I have also tested positive for). She wants to try to transition off the blood thinner and just use the dmso. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Last night when I was taking a shower before bed, I noticed what seemed like a swollen lymph node in my left armpit. It was achy and tender to the touch. I put on the DMSO straight onto the skin and went to bed and in the morning, it was gone. Thank you Midwestern Doctor for putting this incredibly useful info out there!
For many years I have used DMSO for pain and inflammation and skin problems. I have found if someone is sensitive to it, is to use a light application of organic coconut oil and the irritation either stops or lessons dramatically. No medical degree just figuring things out. I have no reactions to dmso on most of my body or orally. If I use it on my face I do use it with coconut oil. Thanks for all the wonderful alternative safe knowledge you are giving us 🙏🏼💙
For 2 days, I had an ache in my side, radiating from the kidney area and around the RUQ of the abdomen. On the second day, as I readied for a shower, I noticed a wide linear rash that started near my mid-spine and wrapped around the same side that was aching. I've had shingles 3 times--once in the same area as this ache, and in 2021 I got the shingles vax. My fear was that the ache was the shingles prodrome, and now the rash had appeared. I showered and then patted on straight (near 100%) DMSO over the rash and along my side-ache area for good measure. I let it dry and went to bed. The rash was gone the next morning, but I applied DMSO again as before. In 24 hours, the side ache was also gone. Was it shingles? Not sure, but I would do the same again and encourage friends and family to use the same treatment for suspected shingles.
I have been dealing with nail fungus for several decades (left hand and toenails) . I am 79 yrs and otherwise in good health. Over the years I have tried a diversity of topical treatments with little success . Encouraged by the postings of AMD I have been using DMSO along with oregano oil applied at the fingertips. Perhaps it is too early to tell but there seems to be noticeable improvement. I would appreciate any thoughts/comments on use of DMSO for this conditio
A friend of mine recently showed me nodules developing along the tendons in his palms indicative of the initial stages of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. I told him about and sent him your article regarding the use of DMSO for his condition. He began with rubbing 50% gel into the affected areas and increased to 70% with a view to increase again to 90%. Remarkably, the nodules were softening up and some were even noticeably shrinking in size after only a few weeks. However, the creases in his hands began to deeply pit and crack. The pits and cracks were completely painless but caused him concern, not knowing what would happen with further use or with an escalation to greater concentration
It's been six months after this article first appeared, but I wanted to note this:
After having read the various stuff by MWD on DMSO, I decided to do a little experiment. I had a spot on my right hand, just down from the area between the thumb and first finger, where I had a serious cat scratch.
For some weeks it drained and didn't heal, despite trying colloidal silver and a few other things. The skin finally healed over but underneath was a noticeable lump about dime-sized. My doctor thought it was cat scratch fever, as the Bartonella henselae bacteria that causes it often produced such self-contained lumps. The weird thing was, it began to hurt (without any noticeable outward change) -- this was 4-5 months after the initial event. This bacteria is very hard to treat systemically because, as I understand it, it walls itself off, so to speak, from the immune system.
I decided to treat it with DMSO. At first I put it directly on the lump and put a bandage on it. That caused it to begin to drain, not pus, but liquid like that from blisters. It got a bit smaller. That draining stopped but the DMSO did irritate the skin around it (and made it peel). So I then started injecting a small amount (I'm not exactly sure how much) right into the lump with an insulin syringe. It stung a little initially but otherwise didn't both me. I did that maybe 5 times. Within about 10 days it shrank to almost nothing.
I had a bizarre and amazing experience with DMSO treating severe chronic spinal and back pain that had been bothering me for about 10 years. My holistic physician made his own solution of DMSO mixed with minerals (I think they were Mg, K, Na, Ca - Tahoma Clinic) and used it to treat joint pain. Well, I did not follow instructions and I bathed my entire back in the solution for a full 6 hours thinking it would REALLY remove any pain. Unbelievably 7 pitch black lumps rose to the surface and formed eschar scabs which finally came off about 4 weeks later. Initially I went to the ER because they were also bleeding when it first happened and quite painful. The ER doc did not say much and offered no solution. Later, I went to a Dermatology specialists who did biopsies and also did not say much except that they were eschars. I also have this experience on video. After these masses were gone my back felt fantastic and I felt 20 years younger. However, "stuff" really loosened up in my back because later it felt like "something" was moving up and down my spine in the fluid.
What great articles and information you provide. I have started on the gel on my sciatica and it has gone from a daily dull ache/pain to barely noticeable. I apply the gel once per day along my right side from the shoulder to mid thigh. I have only been using it for roughly 3 weeks.
My first purchase was the 40% solution with vitamin C (for early onset cataracts) based on a recommendation of a commenter of MWD. While making the purchase, I saw the wrinkle reducer cream and noticed a discount if I purchased $100 or more. I went for it and the results are so astounding that I purchased the full strength solution and another wrinkle cream and gave it as a gift to my housekeeper for her persistent pain.
Dilution and application is still a bit fuzzy to me and I plan to work diligently on this in a few weeks. I repeat: every single skin growth on my body: moles, 'hard' bumps that have been there for decades, all kinds of weird odd skin discoloration or malformation has disappeared after I use it. And it doesn't take long, a few weeks for those 'bumps' shorter for moles. I consider that remarkable.
I don't have any pain or aches (also remarkable at 64) so I can't attest to pain relief.
As for the eyes, the floaters have disappeared. I can't attest to disappearance of cataracts but I will persist for 6 months or so and see if it helps. Rome wasn't built in a day.
I can now report its great success at treating some chronic muscular pain (if you must know, it was in my right buttcheek -- exercise-summoned knot was swole enough to make my whole right leg feel numb). After a few weeks of treatment, it's damn near gone.
I developed almost debilitating hip pain caused by sciatic joint inflammation. I applied 70% DMSO and was shocked that the pain disappeared within 10 minutes. I have since used it successfully for less severe aches and pains caused by aging and sports. A friend has suffered terribly for years from intractable back pain caused by a work injury. He refused to take any pain killers besides aspirin. I gave him a bottle of 70% DMSO and he said it is the first thing that has given him any significant relief. Thanks for the work you do!
I have been using DMSO with either Mineral/magnesium gel or Arnica gel with great results! I have scoliosis, osteoporosis and very frequent joint pain. First began using it on my low back-an "always" pain area. And used on my legs due to cramping, along with oral magnesium. Then I moved on to using arnica gel w DMSO on my entire hip area.
I started 6 mos ago carefully applying the DMSO first with a cotton ball, then the mineral gel on top. Now I just mix them in my hand and apply to skin. I always start with DMSO and add the other ingredient. I feel relief in minutes! On very painful days I reapply ~4-5 hours later (when I feel pain). This has been a game changer for me. All that said, I have just experimented with good results!
I am injecting 30% DMSO solution into the gums using a bent needle blunt tip syringe, just to get it into the pockets not to inject gums. It’s difficult to get anything into the pockets without a blunt tip bent needle syringe.
I am also adding a little rapamycin from a crushed 1mg tablet. Maybe 1 percent solution.
15 years ago I was hospitalized with a strep infection in my blood. I was on IV antibiotics for 30 days. Before I got sick, I was a runner and equestrian who
only suffered the occasional ache and pain. After my antibiotic treatment (1st Rifampin, then changed to Vancomycin), I am plagued with generalized osteoarthritis and can no longer run. I still ride but pay the price! Your info on CWD bacteria is very interesting to me. I wonder of CWD bacteria from the antibiotic tx is the cause of my chronic joint pain? Because of your articles, I am now using “Nature’s Gift”, 70% DMSO gel. It has been very helpful. I apply it wherever I hurt that day but I feel it helps my pain all over. I think it penetrates my skin, possibly entering my bloodstream and has a general anti-inflammatory effect. It does make my skin itch for a few days after application but it’s worth it for the pain relief!
Brother had a hernia operation ~2 years ago. Had water & inflammation with swelling of the right testicle (no pain)after surgery. Sprayed on 70% DMSO with castor oil. Now down to regular size.
I live in S. FL and go barefoot in the yard frequently. Many years ago I was infected with cutaneous larva migrans, as was a friend. She went to an allopath who treated her with topical steroids, and I can't remember what else. That itching is quite uncomfortable, but I spread tea tree oil on my skin and then DMSO and the combination was rapidly curative.
just a quick update on my tooth's remarkable recovery. I took your advice and stopped putting it on my cheek after 3 weeks of 2/day usage....and now it feels, well, normal. I was only eating soft foods on it at first but now I am eating everything with it and no pain or sensitivity. I am amazed and so pleased. Thank you so much for all your efforts... you have saved a tooth, a small thing to be sure, but a big thing for me...
Donna, my roommate is using DMSO for her tinnitus and general hearing loss; she just completed six weeks of her protocol. She soaks a Q-tip in 50% solution, cuts it in half, then rests a half in both ears for two hours, twice a day. She reports overall serious improvement in hearing ability, and her tinnitus improvement is intermittent. That is, the tinnitus has lessened, but it's not linear. Some days she reports that it's as loud as it ever was, and some days it's almost imperceptible.
Again, this is six weeks of treatment, after 14 years of tinnitus and hearing loss, so it seems pretty dramatic.
She asks me to report on the lymph nodes in her neck, which have been swollen for 30 years. Both sides have been drastically shrunken with DMSO use in her ears, with one side now at a normal size and the other nearly normal.
By the way, I have not been using it for my ears specifically, but I am also hearing tiny sounds that I haven't heard in years. I'm using it to address asymptomatic vitreomacular traction. Since there are no symptoms, and I was diagnosed because my ophthalmologist just purchased an expensive OCT machine, I can't tell if there is improvement or not. My sense is that there is some added clarity (I have/had a nascent cataract in one lens), but it's possible that is from the power of suggestion.
I've been applying 50% dmso around my entire hip since 10/28/24. Arthritic and torn labrum, hip replacement candidate. I am completely off meloxicam now. I can walk without pain, the exception is specific movements that twinge but cease when that specific movement is curtailed. Will be interesting to see what surgeon says in my first consult next week. I'd like to avoid surgery.
I should also mention that I was doing hip exercises daily for 18 months which improved mobility and range of motion, but it wasn't until the dmso that the pain started to cease. Thus no more nsaids.
I was quite ill with some nasty flu crud, took me down for two weeks. I ceased dmso during that time. What is interesting is the improvements in my hip pain did not revert for lack of dmso treatments. I started back up again and pain is continuing to diminish, though improvement is nearly imperceptible. But then you realize later that improvement is actually dramatic over the course of time. Since this is a chronic condition, I'm resigned to at least a nine month trial. It's only been a month and a half.
Also, I had an incident during a self defense class, where I clearly blew up some portion of my elbow, which within days turned into a screaming inflammation that ran from my shoulder to my ring finger. Screaming pain, no swelling. I broke my no nsaid rule, popped one, and painted my entire arm for three days with 50% dmso. By day four there was NO PAIN. Gone.
My experience with any kind of tendinitis, which this had all the hallmarks of, is that one is looking at a prolonged rehab, and prolonged burning pain. Nope. Gone.
I too was hit with some “viral” thing. The headache was the worst! I used my Castor Oil/DMSO dilution on my forehead, the top of my head, base of my neck and behind my ears. And sometimes I used 100%! The DMSO “pain” felt better than that damn headache. The DMSO greatly helped alleviate the headache!!
I am just on the other side of what had to be influenza. It hit me like a truck. I added DMSO to my nasal rinse and it was immensely helpful for the severe head pain (sinus pain) I had.
I believe my wife ordered a "NOW" brand through VitaCost. I can't really tell if it helps. She seems to think it is. Ultimately, it's all about the person you love not being repulsed by your aroma!
I had two sinus surgeries and still have thick mucus. It seems that one part full strength dmso mixed with nine parts colloidal silver to make a solution and then one drop of that dropped into my ear eventually makes it’s way through my sinuses and loosens mucus. It also relieves eustachian tube pressure. And it also softens ear wax.
A month ago I had a bad blockage and instead of medication I put two tablespoons of 70% DSMO in the nasal rinse. After four or five days and rinsing twice a day the blockage released. The only downside is my wife said I had a peculiar halitosis.
I thought I'd also give it a whirl on my own teeth a few times a week for gum health, etc.
I'm using it on various skin moles and they are disappearing! They are what I call 'old age' moles/skin tags, etc. Also using it as a face cream to see what it may do for minor wrinkles....admittedly, for vanity.
Drops in one eye (leaving the other for 'control' purposes) and I haven't noticed much after about 6 weeks. I plan to go another 5 months on the eye. Early-forming cataracts, not a vanity thing.
My floaters have disappeared. During the daytime, I am not putting a contact lens in the eye I am treating with the DMSO. I read quite a bit in the late afternoon/evening and I can't read without my glasses. :( I am going to give it 6 more months....in the meanwhile, I'm joyful to be alive and a healthy person.
I am dealing with breast cancer and take DMSO with genuine essiac tea...I also mix in 1/5 tsp of Naringenin powder...which is very interesting. Naringenin is not water soluble. It does slowly dissolve in the DMSO.
just a quick update on my tooth's remarkable recovery. I took your advice and stopped putting it on my cheek after 3 weeks of 2/day usage....and now it feels, well, normal. I was only eating soft foods on it at first but now I am eating everything with it and no pain or sensitivity. I am amazed and so pleased. Thank you so much for all your efforts... you have saved a tooth, a small thing to be sure, but a big thing for me...
By swabbing the skin above my prostate (50% solution/once a day for a couple weeks) I have been able to dispense with taking Flomax. I'm excited to see what my PSA level will be when next tested.
I used it for the same purpose on Christmas! I slammed my thumb in a door and immediately coated it with dmso. It helped so much! Also helped with a burn on the underside of my forearm (from hitting the oven rack). I have often gotten these type of burns, so I know how much of a difference it made.
I squashed my finger by closing the freezer on it and we all know how that hurts! I rushed for the closest DSMO and got the eye drops [50% distilled water ] put some in a small container and put my finger in it. The pain went in 10 minutes and never came back and I have saved the nail. I put more on the cuticle everyday. I have also cut DMSO with Caster oil for my face and starting to see benefits after just a few days. A fix all. Great to get away from the Pharmacutical companies.
Hi all! My eczema is mostly under control again. I now apply it in a similar way- I coat my eczema in either aloe Vera or castor oil, then apply dmso. I am now more careful about using any other creams until waiting at least 20 minutes after dmso. I did take dmso orally for a few weeks, but it did not seem to be helping in that way and it tasted terrible. So I am no longer using it in this way. I do have to say that rubbing it around my nose and ears has really improved my chronic sinus allergy like symptoms!
Just saw your post. We started dmso on my 2 year old son who has had extreme severe eczema since he was 3 months old on December 5th. We apply a layer of aloe Vera and then spray him liberally with a dilution of 20% dmso. He is almost 100% healed. I praise God everyday for sending us this cure.
I just started taking DMSO orally a few days ago to see if this will help. This has improved my digestion ( I have struggled with constipation most of my life).
We began applying a little 70% DMSO directly onto the eczema as a test. There was no adverse reaction and little to no itching, so 3 days ago we began applying it about 6 times per day, directly onto the eczema from the bottle. The skin feels smoother and small patches of eczema are looking clearer. There is a drying effect on the worst patches of eczema. So far no need for any moisturiser and hopefully this will continue as we want to stick to applying the DMSO only if possible. We have tried so many different creams in the past and nothing works, hopefully the DMSO will finally cure this persistent problem.
Maybe a combo with a steroid cream would help, we are open to suggestions.
Another cream to try with the DMSO is this: https://eczemarelief.com.au/ We are using this cream only (no DMSO) and it has helped a lot. We may begin to spray on DMSO after applying the cream, just looking for good spray bottles before trying it.
I'm so grateful for these articles. I began using DMSO 6 - 8 weeks ago for joint pain and swelling, and have expanded it's use for other conditions. The swelling in my knee and ankle, a result of an old skiing injury and bothering me these last 6 years, has gone down, the pain has gone. Much cheaper than similar results from platelet rich plasma injection I had 4 years ago.
So I started using on my scalp, as I'm mostly bald. It appears hair is beginning to grow back, and my scaly flakey scalp has healed.
I'm experimenting using it as adjunct for Bartonella infection, and I just received a lab results showing I no longer have active infection.
My wife is using it for her Dupetrons with good results, and for a skin disease on her feet, with good results.
Again, thank you for writing this series, as it's enabled is to improve several chronic conditions, inexpensively and from the comfort of our home.
I make a paste of vit C and matcha with DMSO that I have applied to basal cell carcinomas and they have disappeared. I did have one on my face that I had the dermatologist take off and now regret not trying with the paste.
Recently I've become interested in escharotics and am studying Cancer Salves a botanical approach to treatment by Ingrid Naiman, fascinating. So, I added a few drops of DMSO to some black salve and removed a Squamish cell carcinoma on my face in just a few days. Had to cancel my dermatology appointment.
For 15+ years I dealt with very frequent angular cheilitis. My dermatologist regularly prescribed Ciclopirox cream, and various topical antibiotics… several times a year, I was also prescribed oral antibiotics (usually minocycline and Augmentin). I’ve also tried all sorts of supplements and face washes… none helped much.
About 4 months ago I figured I’d try a DMSO topical preparation. Using 45mL of a hypoallergenic lotion as a base, I combined:
• DMSO 99.995% (5mL)
• Tea Tree essential oil (1mL)
• Caprylic Acid (1,200mg)
I applied it twice a day after gently washing the area, and in less than 4 days it completely resolved a moderate case of angular cheilitis I had at that time.
I’ve used it 1x - 2x daily as a prophylactic ever since, and for the first time in over 15 years I’ve gone months (and counting) without any reoccurrence.
The same preparation has also worked fantastically in resolving facial folliculitis that I used to frequently get after shaving.
PS- I’ve used the same preparation without DMSO (just lotion (45mL), Tea Tree oil (1mL), and Caprylic Acid (1,200mg)… and got little-to-no benefit for the angular cheilitis.
Edit (7/25/25): I’ve continued to fine-tune the skin preparation, and here’s what it now consists of…
(The percentages are by volume, not weight)
Versa Cream: 85.5%
DMSO 99.995%: 7.2%
Caprylic Acid: 2.8%
Tea Tree Oil: 1.4%
Oregano Oil: 1.4%
Clove Oil: 1.4%
Instructions for a 50ml batch:
For those interested in trying it, I suggest using graduated cylinders (can be bought on Amazon) for the liquids. For the cream… fill up a graduated cylinder with 42.75ml of water, then pour it into a cup and use a marker to make a line on the cup where the surface of the water is. Then fill the cup (up to the line) with the cream.
You can add the liquids directly into the cup with the cream, and then stir until completely uniform in texture.
Versa Cream: 42.75ml
DMSO 99.995%: 3.6ml
Caprylic Acid: 1.4ml
Tea Tree Oil: 0.7ml
Oregano Oil: 0.7ml
Clove Oil: 0.7ml
This preparation has not only completely resolved my angular cheilitis, but it’s also healed the scarring (caused by years of frequent angular cheilitis) at the corners of my mouth.
If I may butt in, I am using DMSO successfully on my right knee that was giving me problems climbing ladders. It is fine now. DMSO also got rid of the pain in my thumb that holds the computer mouse. The only area I am unsure of is a knee sprain I did a month ago and have have been treating it once or twice a day however I am not sure if is getting better due to DMSO or just the natural healing process.
Our big success with DMSO has been with our dog. She was having mini-strokes that caused her to rapidly lose balance, hearing and sight. DMSO stopped a TIA in seconds. She's 15, and her coat was getting dry and coarse, even though we've given her salmon oil for years. Within a few days of giving her a couple of drops of DMSO with her food, the silkiness was coming back. Her coat is in better shape now than when she was young.
I put a little on my carotids every morning as cheap stroke insurance. It's also part of my routine to improve vascular circulation.
I had a bad DVT in my rt leg, above knee to ankle... I used heavy dose lumbrokinase, serrapeptase and topical DMSO... dissolved the clot in 2.5 months... Docs wanted me on Eliquis for a year... I just said NO.
I figure at 76 I do not have pristine arteries so I just eat as clean as I can, have a high D3, no arthritis , I can walk a few miles fine and get outdoors often all year. I deal with short term stuff with alternative treatments and right now, DMSO. Oh, most important, I stay out of conventional doctors offices if I can.
My wife has had several hydrocortisone injections into her shoulder over the years, usually spaced 3-4 years apart. X-rays show nothing wrong, so it must be a nerve problem or soft tissue injury. We both understand that using steroids is a double-edged sword -- great for immediate relief, damaging to tissues long-term. The last time it flared up, I tried injecting 1 mL of a 25% DMSO solution (75% sterile water for injection, 27 ga needle) into the trigger point. She became nauseous and almost passed out from the pain. (She's not allergic to it, as she can tolerate 70% gel topically.) It later occurred to me that the "cortisone shots" she'd received probably included 1% or 2% lidocaine. After reading your comment, I'm wondering if the lidocaine did as much to stop the pain as the cortisone.
The 25% DMSO injection slowly resolved her pain over two weeks, but should it recur, would you recommend adding lidocaine to the mix?
Sorry about your misfortune, Dave Bross...I have had my share as well. I am glad you deferred in favour of the DMSO for treatment...it was wise. I am a retired Professional Fire Fighter, back yard machinist, welder, blacksmith, knife maker, jeweler and silversmith...as you may imagine, my opportunities for inadvertent burns is on the high side. I've used DMSO so many times I cannot remember the exact number, with remarkable success. I wanted to mention though, (as you seem prone to injury)...?....that I've used fresh aloe vera leaves, sliced open to get that gel, and also have used bullrush (cattail) 'mucilaginous gel' to treat burns with great success when DMSO was not available...as when alone in the bush. I think that both together would be very effective. Take care...(I mean it). All the best, David.
Well, got to try out DMSO for burns. Chalk up another one to "If you're going to be dumb, you've got to be tough."
I've had a bit of experience with severe burns, both tinkering with homemade explosives as a kid (2nd degree whole arm) and getting caught in a gasoline explosion back in the 1990s, which was 40% of my body 2nd degree. That one nearly killed me but I had an awesome doc, now retired unfortunately.
This time I thought I would run a second batch on my new steam water distiller.
I had forgotten the instructions warned about steam burns if you pull the top off too soon and they were not wrong.
I was able to get the burns iced to stop the burning right away but still got some nasty 2nd degree burns on the underside of my arm.
I've read steam burns are some of the worst, and I wouldn't argue that.
I hit it right away with DMSO and continued doing that twice to three times a day, and I can not believe how quickly this healed it up.
My other burns were many month ordeals with daily trips to the doc to scrub them out with iodine and then buttering them up with silvadene burn cream.
Drugs can't even kill that level of pain when they scrub them out with iodine.
I'm a little over two weeks out from the latest incident and it's almost completely healed up.
The pain quit in just a few days.
Wow!
I'm buying a gallon of this stuff and just pouring over my head daily. Yeah, I'm kidding, except I really did buy the gallon.
I recommend qi gong, especially the tapping exercises to help the body's flow. Chinese medicine calls it qi. I see it as helping lymph and other fluids to flow freely in the body. Lymph drainage massaging is very helpful and so is DMSO.
Just start out with one drop in 8 oz of water /day and add one drop daily. If you take Rxs then check out to see if it reacts poorly with DMSO
Get as many books as you can...use the used book stores to look for books on how to use DMSO for doctors/nurses/physical therapists, we don't know either!!!Forbidden to know!!
a small amount of 99.99% DMSO daily in water/juice etc does wonders for every category the midwestern doctor has addressed. Use 1/8-1/4-/1/2 teaspoon for head injuries of course always diluted in pure water 4-8- or 16 oz your choice. All football and soccer players should drink this for 3 days after games. Do Not worry!!! the worst it can do is make you smell like a dish of Scampi(Shrimp Garlic dish)...Regular use of low dose DMSO will open up all your capillary beds and give you pink cheeks, healthy organs!!! Its the capillary micro clotting that is at the deadliness of the C19 bushwhackers
Put some Aloe Vera on right after you apply the DMSO. It takes the itchiness away almost completely for me and I have sensitive skin. Use a real Aloe plant or the purest version you can find without too many additives. I find the real plant works best. Hope this helps.
I found 100% pure aloe vera at the organic grocery store and used it to make up 70% DMSO. It still itches a bit, but is gone in a few minutes. I do not have to wash it off and leave it 20 until dry.
I had to share - I got a really bad burn on my finger cooking a couple of days ago. I didn’t have my hand fully covered by the dish cloth when I grabbed the cast-iron pan that was in the 450° oven and really burned my thumb. It was incredibly painful. I went straight to the bathroom and I put some DMSO on it right away and within an hour maybe less the pain was gone. I kept putting DMSO on every few hours for a couple days and it’s pretty much completely fine now. There’s still a little bit of discoloration on the skin, but there hasn’t been any pain and it’s healing really nicely. Thank you for all your work! If it wasn’t for you, I never would’ve known about DMSO.
Thank you for your intensive research on the uses of DMSO. I have used the DMSO gel to significantly decrease the pain associated with OA in my knee after exercise, itchy eczema flare ups (although still working on the cause due to never having eczema as a kid) and spot treating occasional acne spots on my face. My need for ibuprofen and/or triamcinolone cream is all but gone!!!
Couldn't find much on itchy scalp, dandruff, psoriasis, etc. so thought I'd post. 3-4 months ago I suddenly, for the first time ever, got a super itchy scalp. My doctor told me to use prescription 2% ketokonazole shampoo which I've been doing. But it never really gets better and in fact like many pharmaceuticals, it seemed to work at the beginning but then stopped and instead seems like the more I use it the worse it gets. The only relief I got was from steroid cream, but that's hard to get on the scalp with all my hair. So yesterday I instead washed with an organic tea tree and peppermint shampoo, with DMSO mixed in. And I started using a dropper to put DMSO right on my scalp. Immediately the itching calmed down, but a few hours later it started again. Maybe I should have been patient but instead I added silver and kept applying with the dropper to any spots that itch. The DMSO/silver combo really worked, and stuck. Today it barely itches, and when it does a simple scratch takes care of it, I don't go into a scratching cycle that ends in a raw sore. It's only been 24 hours so I'll update in a few days.
I have been using DMSO 70% mixed with 30% sodium ascorbic acid diluted in distilled water applied 5 to 6 times a day and it is clearing up my psoriasis on my face which I have been trying to clear for 2 - 3 years. I'm also taking 6 packets of LivON Lypo spheric vitamin C1,000 mg every 4 hours a day and 20 DACHA Natural Liposomal Vitamin C 850 mg per capsule a day to remove cataracts which has been working very well as the cataracts have receded and my [eye] vision has improved to 20/20 The psoriasis is also clearing after 10 days of applications. My Occultist did not seem surprised that the vitamin C was clearing the cataracts and for all I know he was well aware that they would be cleared with the high dose liposomal vitamin C at 25,000 milligrams a day. I took the high dose for 9 months to clear the cataracts.
Science, its repeatable, predictable and observable. AND everyone can do it themselves in many cases. So one day I read up on what others have done with it on my skin and after 3 months it removed two Seborrheic keratoses with no scar.
Soon I followed it on my sore joints and not only did it take away the soreness, it healed it all together.
Then i put 4 drops or about .05% solution in an 8 ounce glass of boiled water and used a netti pot to deliver it in my sinus. Strangest thing, a polyp in my sinus is now gone without surgery. Also my allergies have mostly stopped all together.
Of course if I feel a cold coming on, I do a morning and night flush like that with DMSO and it gets me through the hard part and stops the spread
I am immensely grateful to you for all your hard work bringing to us the benefits of DMSO and how to use it. I have been using DMSO full strength through a dropper for an extremely painful sensitive tooth. One or two drops on the tooth and almost immediately I am pain free. I then swish what is left through my mouth and swallow. No problems whatsoever and now I am trying the DMSO protocol for aging skin. Today is my first day and thus far no reactions other than a little tingling. You also must know my neuropathy in my legs and feet due to diabetes is nearly gone after just a couple weeks of application. Thank you, thank you, thank you and I thank God, literally, every day for leading me to you. More updates later as they come, good or bad.
After chemo gone haywire in 2015 I developed dense capillaritis (also called pigmented purpuric dermatosis) on both shins. Now that I have had several months of DMSO at 1 tablespoon per day, the color has faded by at least 50%. Amazing!!
I've read everything and nobody has yet mentioned splinters.
I've had dozens emerge from my fingers and a few from my feet. Also ingrained dirt has rubbed out of creases and 2 of the joints.
On my heal a small blob of dry blood emerged and I had to ask a podiatrist to get it out along with a minute splinter.
Some come out entirely spontaneously so I'm not sure just how many there have been. Larger ones, which are mostly from roses, need to be scratched out. Often a sense of relief and release comes too, probably the most reliable signal that the entire piece is out.
70% DMSO directly onto hands and feet is more powerful than 30%. I will try 90% next. By mouth seems to stimulate them to come out of the finger pads.
Years ago a doctor told me that the finger pad sensitivity and pain was Reynolds, which I found hard to believe.
Enough have emerged to make holding a pencil less painful. Hoping to be able to sew again without pain but getting impatient now. Started to happen late January. Most are painful as they emerge.
Have done much gardening during my life. Have had very dry skin at times and have not taken care to wash properly at the end of a gardening session. Will do in future.
I have trimengial neuralgia on the left side of my face. It has been agonising and incapacitating. My doctor prescribed Tegretol which I have currently been too frightened to take because of the potential side effects, but was starting to feel I had no alternative. I have tried DMSO cream with aloe vera (70% DMSO) for 3 days and the relief has been considerable. The pain has not gone entirely but is more bearable.
A couple of days ago, a skin tag that I had on my arm for more than 2 years fell off. I had no idea what caused it to fall off. It occurred to me about a day later that the DMSO I had been applying to my arms once a day was likely the reason!!!! Amazing!!
I think it may have been helping with my chronic pain, but I can’t take it and continue to work in a professional setting or have a social life-so the dilemma.
This has helped with a slowly healing ankle sprain. It was mostly good, but I would get pain and restricted movement on and off. This relieved the pain. Also, I had some pain on a rather tender part of my body. Some of which had been there since a young kid. Some judicious application made it pain free for the first time.
I suffer from cold hands at anything below +5'C. So I decided to rub DMSO on my hands. By chance I also use a finger pulse/oximeter regularly. After applying DMSO last nite my readings are 98-99 %. This morning they were back to the usual 96-98. So I rubbed more DMSO onto my hands and the reading climbed back to 98-99%. [Likely Reynaud's]
I had varicose vein surgery about 4 years ago. I had surface treatments to get rid of spider veins then also. I did this over a two-year period. Since that time, I’ve again developed some of the surface veins, especially around ankles and feet. I was going to go back to the vein clinic but read one reader’s post about being told that there are limitations on how many treatments you can have. At the same time, I read this post about veins and DMSO. So, I decided to give it try. I’ve been following the posts and also Mercola’s summary articles related to MWD posts on DMSO.
I’ve used it multiple days in the past week and am beginning to notice some change but plan to continue using it to see how it works.
Hi Doc, I was gonna give this a couple weeks but I’m having such amazing results from using DSMO around my eyes I wanted to get in touch. I have a really complicated eye history—mostly retina stuff (drusen, ERM and high pressure) that I’m told is just genetic bad luck. I also have super dry eyes and have had belphritis many times that left my eyelids inflamed for a very long time. I ordered DMSO from amazon and Jacob labs and so far have just tried the amazon ‘natures gift’ version. I’ve had inflammation on eyelids for over a year. It’s almost gone in about a week. I also think it may be making ‘floaters’ less bothersome—but maybe my eyes are just less dry. I don’t know whats going on or how it works—but it is helping. I sent to one of my eye dr’s but no response. I want to figure out how to get it in an eye drop…but I def need someone to direct me on this. Thank you does not cover how thankful I am that you researched this and posted about it. Very grateful! I have photos that show the diff. THANK YOU. Julie Baker
I have noticed a surge in energy since drinking DMSO. I’m taking T3 now. But dosage is the issue. I have not ever had severe hashimotos symptoms but I changed my diet from long term low carb low calorie to a more pro metabolic diet because my metabolism tanked and no doubt down regulated my thyroid. It’s been hard to switch back to being a glucose burner and not the more inferior fat burner. But I’m getting there. I was gaining weight on the tail end of this keto experiment and my sleep and anxiety was terrible. I
I have lost about a kilo of water weight since I started ingesting.
I have a fairly clean diet, but still struggle with carb cravings (and not the good kind, either).
Since I started ingesting - knowing that the DMSO is transporting everything everywhere - it has curbed my cravings - just don't want to add anything else into the mix. Plus - whatever it is the internal DMSO does - seems to help with those cravings. I just don't want it.
Natalie, I would keep trying. I would also, if tolerated, take it orally as well as apply topically. It may need to get more systemic to kick cells into the CDR cycle and flush out the “bad” ones.
I too was one who did not have a “miraculous” response but I’ve been consistently using it, both topically and occasionally orally, for well over 2 months now and have seen healing with multiple issues!!
Recently, I crashed terribly while mountain biking that left me with a very large deep bruise on my quad as well as reinjured my rotator cuff. I immediately applied DMSO along with some castor oil mixed in my hand (not sure the ratio as I was out camping on this adventure). The next morning I was in way less pain. I kept applying morning and night during my trip. I experienced the pain reducing each day and the bruise healed very quickly which is not usually how I respond to bruising.
I know 2 people who cured their rosacea with topical ivermectin. I used it for a weird rash on my skin (with DMSO) that cleared up in 2 months (after having it 5yrs)
I had a weird bruise show up on my knuckle the other day and my finger was a bit swollen and couldn’t fully bend it. Not sure what happened. Put dmso on it and within 10 min the swelling had gone down and I was able to bend it again.
I love this stuff!!
Thank you for sharing about this and everything you write about 🙏🙏
I had the exact same experience. Used the 99% dmso store on a re-injured wrist that I had surgery on years ago. After 3 days it was completely healed but my husband complained that my breath was terrible - this lasted for about 5 days after stopping treatment.
I actually got some good results from veterinary 1%. Sometimes, less is more. I put it on my finger, and a little skin-horn dropped off, forming a crater. the crater took a week to heal, but the horn is gone.
It also clears up acne overnight. Sometimes I put it on over a witch hazel, aloe, tea tree & clary sage lotion. But DMSO is the only thing that shifts my acne. And the 1% seemed to be strong enough!
I used a steroid for a few days eventhough I was reluctant. It may have helped a little. But what I've mostly done is use a natural moisturizer several times a day on the vulvar area. I have added DMSO to the jar of that moisturizer. I also sometimes apply additional DMSO directly to the vulvar area but mostly after I applied the moisturizer to the area first. I would say that this has been more successful than the steroid cream.
I am so sorry that it's not available for the stroke patient I care for, as his sleep has been very disrupted for years now, and especially so since the stroke.
Meanwhile, your DMSO information seems to have been a game-changer for him. It's hard to know for sure whether his recent changes have been caused by the DMSO, but I’m fairly confident that they are, because prior to starting the DMSO, we were looking for a breakthrough, and the changes began almost immediately, after the very first treatment.
We are now about eight weeks into treatment and I have observed the following:
Voice is stronger, and speech is markedly improved
Appetite has increased
Dysphagia has changed dramatically — he is now able to eat normal-sized meals and even swallow while the TV is on (previously a choking hazard.)
He now feeds himself (easy foods) almost exclusively, using his affected hand.
His energy seems to be improved, with earlier mornings many days
Strength, endurance, and balance appear to be better
The most recent and undeniable change (as of the past couple of weeks) is that his sense of taste has started to return.
He also had one very lucid day where he zipped up his own jacket (notable because the fine motor skills in his right hand were quite impaired by the stroke.) This has not yet occurred again, but even he commented at the time that it was remarkable.
Unfortunately the elderly patient has reacquired COVID. This time the EPOA is more aggressive. Told the nursing staff straight up no remdesivir. They have entered it into the elderly patient's notes. There is no ambiguity this time.
The elderly patient has already received their first dose of ivermectin. The EPOA has also been giving the elderly patient regular zeta aid which seems to have improved the elderly patient's cognition and appearance.
The EPOA will also cautiously apply a small quantity of topical DMSO to the elderly patient's chest.
The elderly patient appetite has returned, can get up unassisted, use a walker unassisted.
These gains according to the EPOA are ivermectin and substituting the hospital water for zeta aid.
We would like to thank A Midwestern Doctor for their articles on zeta potential. In this case it seems to have made a huge difference to the physical and mental wellbeing of the elderly patient.
You probably wouldn't guess this but the elderly patient's spouse is in hospital with COVID. The EPOA has administered ivermectin soon after admission.
The elderly patient is doing quite well on daily dose of ivermectin and replacement of their hospital water with zeta aid.
I was using Veterinary 1% on acne, but it just seems to chase it all over my body. I follow DMSO treatments with zinc cream, to soften the dry skin. Fix my face, my chest breaks out. Fix my chest, my belly breaks out, then my face again . . . so I increased that formula to 30% with aloe, and this tells me that my acne is systemic (so ingesting DMSO may help, see below).
The 1% did remove a tiny skin "horn" on my finger that I've been struggling with for about 5 years, but irritated the contact eczema on my forearm.
30% feels like nothing on my painful parts - osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, call it what you will. So I made up a 70%. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A CHART: at 1% it has these properties, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, etc. Because it's biohacking, and I need help!
One of my students made up a 70% with aloe & water (like my 30%), and when I tried hers, I could feel the blood rushing to the surface. Beautiful.
I made up a 70% with my favourite aloe-based pain/methyl salicylate gel. Great. But it definitely is hard on the skin, even with the aloe. My feet peel, my knees peel. The place on my neck where I use it the most has dermatitis - like dry acne, bumps that are dry. Doesn't hurt, just bumpy! Next formula I will use aloe only. I become MORE sensitive to topical when I ingest (see below.)
So - after my experiments topically, I reckoned I was ready to ingest. TERRIFIED, I tried to make 1/2 tsp for my first dose, with the intent to do 1/2 tsp daily for 3 days, just to see what it's like. Test it. Well, I couldn't find a metal 1/2 tsp, and DMSO bottle nearly full, my dose was closer to a small tsp. BY THE THIRD DAY = itching on tops of feet (where I apply 70% topically), lower back, backs of knees - anywhere the skin is thin. On the third day, my poo was burning, too. So a 3 day test was a good indicator of how I'm going to react.
But - I had been having an arthritic (?) pain flare when I started ingesting, and by the end of the 3 days, had a productive week where I got through all the classes without suffering. This tells me that I'm headed in the right direction.
I'm less afraid of that tsp now, and am trying to biohack it, listening to my body. I can't do it every day - hubby says that the rotten smell is overpowering. So 1 tsp - then wait. I still get a little itching on the day after, so that's my limit. It's just figuring out how often I can do it and get benefit. I did have one day where my wake-up was so rough, I didn't think I could make it through the day, and the DMSO (taken with barley grass, lemon juice, ACV, MSM & potassium) travelled through my body and lifted me enough to get through the day.
I can't tell if I'm using it wrong or using it right. My results are - in the right direction, but not dramatic. Not like the other stories I'm hearing! (My friend with the 70% - helped her varicose veins & bunions within a month of treatment)
After ingesting 3 days at 1 small tsp daily, I was no longer afraid. One of the results of that 3 day test, was that my cannabis oil was stronger. My usual dose knocked me out!
So now, since I make my own cannabis oil, I've added 0.5% DMSO to the liquid. Not enough to taste awful (though I can taste it) but enough to potentiate it. I have reduced my cannabis oil use from 5 ml a day to 3 ml daily.
I was emboldened by this experiment, and this time, added the DMSO earlier in the brewing process to "complete the extraction" and perhaps get a stronger brew from the get-go. I'm reminding myself constantly that "former doses no longer apply!"
I knew I was lucky when I was in the hospital for a 2.2 hemoglobin reading. The attending ER doctor knew immediately that I was severely anemic and within 20 minutes was giving me a blood transfusion in two IVs. They saved my life three times in two weeks- anemia, found the duodenal ulcer and cauterized it with my first test, and found eight blood clots in my legs- and I'm grateful.
However, it was you, Midwestern Hero, that truly gave our family hope with DMSO. I truly hope that you can, one day, step out from behind the curtain so I can thank you properly.
iI had good success with my knee on topical dmso! also after working my arms quite a bit while working on my place in the bahamas( surfing too which is all shoulders!).. i rubbed it on shoulder. I had a pins and needles spot on right replaced shoulder. I only put it there once and it went away. Not sure how it affects the implants tho. People seem to be asking that on the sites. I put it on before i even thought about it.
I get my DMSO online - Amazon from the DMSO Store. I have bad arthritis in my ankles, feet and thumbs and decided to try it. I started at 1 teaspoon in aronia berry/cranberry juice and water (~14 - 16 oz) and now I put two teaspoons in. I am experiencing very positive changes! The swelling in my thumbs has decreased by at least 2/3 and I don't experience pain in my feet and ankles in the morning when I get up and walk around. I have been using DMSO for 2 1/2 weeks. Looking forward to see what the next couple of months will bring.
Dear "Dr. MidWest": I want to write a very quick update for you on my condition (follow up to my earlier comment in your DMSO series). I wrote to you the day I increased my DMSO to 2 tsp/day, and felt great. I felt amazing for several days: I call it a "positive rebound" and my body's way of saying, "Yes! I want this!" I can now say that I feel as if I no longer fit the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS: I've started doing longer walks with my dog and IT FEELS GOOD TO EXERCISE! (Whodathunkit?!) To be honest, of course I still feel like a very out of condition old lady (at 66 & fighting chronic illness for about 35 years). But I'll take it! So much better than old and sickly!!!
Hi, I recommend that you read & think hard about the cell danger response theory, and how it might apply to you. I (now) believe that everyone's triggers for ME/CFS may be different. In my own case, I had many different (even very different) triggers, which consistently made my condition worse. I have gradually improved my condition by learning to understand these triggers and eliminate them. Among my most potent triggers are toxins: I have to be *very* careful about any/all medicines I take (in fact, I think that the worst triggers have been iatrogenic). Over the years/decades, I have learned how to reduce the toxic load (which included moving away from city pollution and relocating to a rural area by the sea where the air is mostly clean). It is a SLOW process! I've had some good doctors, including one who did genetic testing & discovered that I have a genetic "glitch" that means I don't make glutathione (critical for detox), so I've been taking this as a supplement. I also have been tested extensively & take a gazillion nutritional supplements - toxins can deplete these, too. I had hormonal testing, and take bioidentical hormone supplements for these imbalances. These helped a lot. Recently, I was diagnosed with MCAS (mast cell activation), and was prescribed a mast cell stabilizer (ketotifen): I had to go VERY LOW AND SLOW on this (and most meds), but it has also helped. And I have improved over the years. I feel that there was "something" (???) which was impeding my progress but no idea what. I suspect that DMSO has helped with whatever this was that has blocked further progress - still no idea what though. So, in short, I no longer believe that there is "a medicine" or any one thing that will help everyone with ME/CFS. I believe that ME/CFS is a symptom which results from many different kinds of stresses which are simply too much for our bodies to manage well. (I know that is not what you are looking for, but I hope it helps anyway.) Good luck!
I used topical DMSO gel on a 1-inch diameter spot on my scalp and it flaked off after four applications. That black spot had been there for years. I'm currently working on another one that seems to be a bit more stubborn. I'm using DMSO in addition to fluorouracil compound on it. It is shrinking nicely - noticeably so.
My husband and I have been using DMSO for about a year now for aches and pains. I’ve read all your articles that you have posted. This past week I got a call from my neighbor saying he was having chest pains. His wife was on the phone with 911. Without hesitation I grabbed our 100% roll-on. I assessed his vital signs then asked if I could roll on the DMSO over his chest. EMS took over 15 minutes to get to us and another 20 minutes to the hospital. They took him to the cardiac lab immediately to place 2 stents in a 100% blocked LAD. I have no idea if the DMSO helped but I was glad I had it and applied it. He’s doing well and should be coming home from the hospital today.
I made ear drops of 10%dmso and 90% colloidal silver (I got that recipe from a book called Healing with DMSO by Amanda Vollmer). I had been having issues with ear fullness and dizziness- maybe some tinnitus- for over a year. All of that resolved after only a handful of dosses (a couple drops in ear twice a day). I was shocked as I had tried many things without success before that.
My retired husband, a type 2 diabetic, developed venous ulcers on his lower legs in the summer of 2023. He spent a year making trips to a wound care specialist, and having home health come twice a week to treat and wrap his calves. My husband isn't particularly compliant with wearing the heavy-duty compression hose or elevating his legs daily; and due to balance problems that are probably related to his BP meds, doesn't make much effort to exercise or even just walk around our yard.
Within two months of stopping treatment, his ulcers began to return. We've been treating them with 50% DMSO gel rubbed all over both lower legs and feet, and less-compressive wraps. The ulcers have significantly improved in only two weeks.
Several weeks ago I applied 70% DMSO (liquid) to the area of my tendinitis (golfer’s elbow). I applied it once a day for 6 days. It began to help the pain. I stopped applying it because I got an outbreak of psoriasis on the same arm in the area of my upper arm, above the tendinitis. I have no idea if it was related to the application of the DMSO.
I am so grateful for this entire series. I had uncles who swore by DMSO years ago. As I have some autoimmune and systemic weirdness, I decided to give it a try. I've started with 50% solution topically with good tolerance, and tried my first oral dose this morning of 2 cc 50% DMSO. Tasty (Not!)
My question has to do with blending DMSO with herbal tinctures and or juice, rather than in water. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
At the recommendation of my wife, a long term integrative physician, I've started with about 2 to 3 cc of 50% DMSO for a week, and have then increased my topical application and have just started low dosing it orally.
I've had no untoward effects, and have noticed my arthritis pain in my hands and knees is less.
This is so great! Appreciate you sharing. DMSO is like the miracle drug we never knew we needed. Having started applying it topically twice a day, I can attest to the sense of calm and better sleep, and I already slept well.
A handful of years ago, I started "grounding" myself at night (donning a conductive bracelet connected by wire to the ground of an electrical outlet). At that time, my dreams got more vivid and satisfying (like a good sitcom you hate to see end). It is possible DMSO has bumped that up a notch, although I can't say for sure, and it could be from suggestion.
From my experience, while I am a fast reader with great comprehension with written words, one of the things that I find very helpful for learning is moving/working while listening to information. Whether it's an audio book, podcast, or whatever, I listen to lots of stuff while doing fairly mindless work such as washing dishes, weeding in the garden, splitting firewood, or cleaning houses which I do as a job. Any of those kinds of things seem to help me retain information well. I am not sure why, but something about physical movement or activity helps my brain focus better.
Separately, after several weeks of taking DMSO internally now I have indeed noticed increased dreaming. Most of my life I have either not dreamed at all or at least had no memory of any dreams. But I have always slept very deeply and soundly. Usually falling asleep within seconds of laying down and having no memory of anything until morning. When I supplemented 5HTP for a while a few years back I started to dream a lot for the first time in my life. And now I am experiencing the same thing. I know a lot of folks seem to enjoy dreaming, but for me it feels like a disruption to the deep sound sleep I have enjoyed for most of my life which I much prefer. That's my experience. Thank you as always for your work to benefit so many people with your knowledge!
Thank you for all your writings. The medical / health topics are extremely helpful - eg in the last few weeks I have managed to improve a nasty scar from an accident by about 50% by using DMSO topically, and also to rid myself of regular and very painful migraines, again through using DMSO on the base of my skull. Hard to believe that either could be be achieved solely by the placebo effect, but if they were I am still very grateful.
I've been using eye drops (20% DMSO, 80% physiological serum) for 3 days now, and I already notice I have less eye floaters. But the DMSO I'am using is the 70% pure, not the 99%.
I had a tooth infection and gum disease that improved in hours after putting a 50/50 swab of DMSO in my cheek, and the next day the pain, swelling and bleeding gums were gone! I LOVE DMSO and tell everyone I know about your research, doctor!
Dear AMD, thank you! I came across an X link from Pierre Kory at just the right time with my husband prescribed cataract operations for diminishing sight and his eye pressure rising 4 points in 1 year, despite treatment with eye drops, leading to glaucoma risk. He decided to try strong DMSO drops, along with his existing eye drops and after 2 months had a marked improvement in his sight, particularly the worst eye. After 4 months more improvement beyond doubt using a home printed eye chart - not calibrated but useful. After his optician test this week his eye pressure had gone back down 2 points in 4 months. Carrying on to see if he can get it to normal. Thanks again
I previously read a book on DMSO and have used it successfully on my psoriasis for about a year, but you Doctor, are blowing my mind about all sorts of healing potential in DMSO that I hadn't heard of or even considered! I've been studying natural treatments and medicines for over 15 years since I was diagnosed with 2 autoimmune diseases in my early 20's. It's become apparent to me how much of the really good and effective medicine has been intentionally buried even at the cost of countless careers and lives.
Thank you so much for this vital, life-saving information. I subscribed after reading just the first 2 articles and even just one of them was worth the price of the subscription to me. If you ever publish a printed book, I'll be pre-ordering it.
I'm glad we're legally able to buy DMSO, but with the suppression of understanding of how to use it I've been unable to use it to it's full healing potential - until now!
You're a rebel and a revolutionary. I'm deeply grateful you're putting your very life on the line to present this information. Your articles this week are a literal answer to my prayers and I'll be using this information to help my whole extended family (I'm the designated family health and nutrition researcher ;)
I hope you'll keep ignoring the complainers because you're saving lives and QUALITY of lives in a country that's been betrayed by it's government for pharmaceutical blood money.
I have been applying DMSO topically on my face, neck and around my ears, as well as several parts of my body (arms, legs, abdomen).
A few things:
1) A skin tag on one of my arms dried up and fell off.
2) One of the covid vaccine side effects that I experienced is that I lost hearing in the low tone and high tones. After topical use of DMSO for several months, my low tone mild hearing impairment is now in the normal range. It improved by 10 to 15 dB in both ears. However, my high tone hearing impairment has not yet improved.
3) I have not been as susceptible to respiratory imfections.
4) My brain fog has improved. (Another covid vaccine side effect).
5) I am more emotionally balanced and feel energetically protected.
I have suffered from severe dry eye for years. (I've had to have Meibomian Gland Probing done twice for my condition, in addition to numerous other treatments). I am having a positive experience using 40% DMSO eye drops. I purchased from the DMSO store. I find I need much less commercial eye drops. I use the DMSO drops throughout the day. My eye care routine now is the DMSO eye drops, massage around the eye area to move the oil (here is a helpful video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50A1Wr8XrOU -which my dry eye doctor supports) and daily heated mask. I am very hopeful about the continued benefit of the DMSO drops.
I have vertigo, tinnitus as well as arthritis in one knee. I’m using a 90% strength DMSO undiluted - on my knee, scalp and behind my ears BID. I’ve found the arthritis pain has reduced somewhat but need to experiment in all kinds of weather air pressure to be sure. Holding hope for the vertigo & tinnitus. Will let you know if there is significant improvements
In his post he writes: Additionally, many instead mix DMSO with easily available antimicrobial substances. For example, one author advocates for putting chlorine dioxide (e.g., 2 drops of activated MMS in 10ml water) or hydrogen peroxide (1-3%) immediately before or after applying DMSO.
I would use Distilled water with the DMSO. I haven’t done it yet. I’ve put DMSO on &/or behind my ears, neck & arthritic knee and finger. I thought I would try this prior to inserting it into ear. I should not try 2 things at once all the same I’m trying acupuncture with someone trained in China and Canada. Completed 2x to date. I seem to be slightly less affected by vertigo. As per recommend (in chat) I am taking 2 days off a week from the DMSO. The DMSO has worked way better for me than MJ cream ( with Arnica, Juniper, Marijuana) Japanese mint oil, other ess. oils, even better than Hemp-Ease Aid spray which let me sleep, & other over counter crap found in drugstores. DMSO has risen to the top for working at pain relief. I am not giving up on its assistance with tinnitus & vertigo. Time will tell.
Because of your articles….I started using DMSO with aloe, a roll on, and my fingers are straightening out, matching the size of my fingers on the non affected hand! Even Heberden nodes are shrinking….im taking pictures as proof if you’re interested! I developed this condition when I started lifting kettle bell weights for osteoporosis, I don’t do drugs after watching my mom suffer, while I didn’t have much arthritic pain, my fingers were deformed. For years…it’s a miracle! Thank you thank you thank you!
It turns out that our daughter has herpes zoster ophthalmicus which is shingles on the eye/face. Fascinating because she has never been vaccinated and has not had chicken pox. She has the “Hutchinsons sign” at the end of her nose so we are alert for changes with her eye and vision.
We have continued 2x daily eye drops of 20% DMSO. We also use it on the rash/lesions along with colloidal silver gel to help with healing the skin.
It has been about 10 days and the legions are slowing down and scabbing up.
She saw an opthalmologist today and he confirmed there are no concerns about the eye or cornea. He lectured me about vaccines etc but I think he was generally intrigued that we let her body manage the virus with the help of DMSO and without prescription antivirals. He is 70+ and has never seen HZO in a child. We are going to watch and wait and continue with the DMSO treatment.
I’ve been working on my thyroid for quite awhile. I had some desiccated products from my functional med doc but numbers didn’t change much. I eat a pro metabolic diet now with clean easy to digest carbs having stopped long term very low carb and keto that was probably the reason I have thyroid damage. Or this runs in my family. Every family woman around the table at thanksgiving had something. Mostly hashimotos. It’s been a year on this kind of eating and I started adding a little T3 in September. I have blood tests this month. In many places I read it’s not the numbers that mean so much. It’s how you feel and symptoms so that’s how I gauge it. Since DMSO orally I am sleeping sounder, my digestive system and mood seems better and more energy. It could because I’ve found my correct dose of T3 as well. So who knows. Right now I take 1 1/2 teaspoons twice a day breakfast and dinner. I put it into orange juice. My dilutions (70% brushed on thyroid area) use distilled water. My husband is now using it on a facial skin lesion. (25% dilution) He is prone to basal cell carcinomas or squamous (can’t remember which one). I’m basically doctoring myself now, like many of us. AMD is a godsend. Worth every penny of a paid subscription. Good luck. Didn’t mean to get so wordy.
Until this series I only occasionally used DSMO with MMS drops but immediately started using it a lot recently and so far have great success with it:
1. Life long lower back pain (which I assume was caused by a traumatic injury to my right testicle as a child) is almost complete gone despite working as a driver which is very bad for my back. I used it topically.
2. A haemorrhoid shrank to about 20% and stopped being uncomfortable at times
3. Feels good and restoring on my face where life-long sun lotion and/or sun burns damaged my skin with spots of small benign skin cancers. (About half of the spots are gone and the skin is less irritated and flaky)
Do you have any experience or data about using DSMO in an enema? I already and it doesn't seem to irritate (I used a small amount maybe2 0 drops/1 ml 100%) DMSO) mixed with some medicine in both, a 150 ml coffee enema and 150 ml salty water enema, both checked to have a PH between 7 and 8) and no cramps or problems whatsoever but a very strong onset of symptoms of the medicine, despite using the about the same mount of medicine in water only before. In other words, mixing the medicine in 100% DSMO first, and then adding it to the 150 ml enema, seemed to have a much stronger effect of the medicine. As this medicine is expensive, I wonder if DMSO can be used as an amplifier and therefore getting the same effect with less medicine and therefore saving money. I am very aware of the dangers of mixing medicines with DMSO, especially in an irreversible enema, and I am extremely careful and do not recommend it to anyone that doesn't have vast experiences with enemas, like I do.
using a total of 26mg nicotine divided into 5 doses within 11 days, ending 9/21/24. I didn't notice any benefit. Then i started using DMSO on 9/24, applying some almost daily.
On 9/29/24 i noticed my sense of smell was much better and so was my sense of taste! I had completely lost those senses in August 2022 but had done a lot of essential oil inhalation therapy which restored my smell and taste back then. I thought it was at least 95% restored. But it wasn't, and i only realized this after using the nicotine patch and the DMSO. Not sure if it was just a delayed reaction from the nic patches, or if the subsequent dmso helped too.
i really don't know if it was the dmso at all - i actually think it was more likely the nicotine patches as described above, perhaps potentiated by the dmso, tho i think MWD may have mentioned somewhere that dmso has temporarily restored smell or taste in some cases. But as far as i can tell, this latest improvement is not temporary. I used a total of one and one quarter 21mg nicotine patches within 11 days. Then a few days later i put dmso on my back/hip for a few days (i stopped due to unpleasant headaches). I used in total maybe a teaspoon of 99% dmso, diluted 50%, then 66%. Never took internally. I
Wanted to give you feedback after going through 1 gallon of DMSO. My grey hair is turning back to brown..abit. I find the taste of DMSO fairly agreeable: i mix two teaspoons of 99.9% with 6/8 ounces of water every other day.
Here's what I did, Ladyred. I have "fibromyalgia," too (or at least, that's how I describe it to people so that they understand). After I gained some confidence topically that I was not going to react, I took a small tsp in my morning juice for 3 days.
My only metal measuring spoon is a tsp (oh to have Mom's old measuring spoons!) so I ***tried*** to take 1/2 tsp, but failed. So a "small" tsp, as small as I could.
By the 3rd day, I was starting to have a histamine reaction (itchy all over), so I quit (though I had only planned a 3 day trial). BUT - it seems to have made my pain protocols more effective, reduced pain by about 25%. I teach tai chi, and have arthritic catches, freezes, stabbing pains - my students don't know, but I do. After the 3 days - NO such events in class.
One of my pain medicines is cannabis oil. After that 3 day treatment, my cannabis oil seems more effective. I've decided to put 1 ml DMSO in 175 ml oil (0.5%) to increase efficacy . It does make the oil taste worse, but not unbearably so - and I believe it will help send the medicine to my cells, and improve zeta potential. It's a tiny tiny dose - but now that I understand better how it works, I'm starting to hack into DMSO's power.
I plan to do the 3 day course (I certainly couldn't do it every day forever!) periodically (once a month? when I have a flare-up?), to see what kind of progress I can make. 3 tsps (less, actually) over 3 days, then wait & see.
Had to have a dental extraction the other week, they broke the molar out of my jaw. They told me to expect 72 hours of swelling and lots of pain to be managed with Tylenol and Ibuprofen every 4 hours. I used none of it. I went home and used an organic tea bag (I didn't have organic gauze) to hold a half-pea sized amount of DMSO gel in the extraction site. Swelling went down within minutes. Pain receded. I repeated as needed like 4-5 times the rest of the day to manage pain. And once a day for the following couple days. Truly amazing.
I bought DMSO, and have been taking about 7ml mixed in fruit juice night and morning. After a short time, maybe 15 mins, any slight asthma I have is completely gone. I would like for body aches and pains too, and would like a dose titration chart, or even just to know the maximum ml per kg bodyweight for ingestion per dose or day
A bit of anecdotal evidence for DMSO here… After reading your articles about it, I purchased a bottle to keep on hand for my family. My 8 year old son is in numerous sports and one day had a pretty bad ankle sprain due to a sliding collision in baseball. By the time we put him to bed his ankle was swollen to twice its size and bruised purple, even after rest and ice. So, I generously slathered his ankle with DMSO and he slept all night with it on. The next morning I went to check on him and could not believe my eyes— the bruise was completely gone and the swelling had reduced by 2/3. His pain was minimal and he could walk on it; although he wasn’t as fast as usual. This was after only eight hours. I applied more DMSO that morning and he went on to be able to play in the championship game later that day and ultimately won the tournament, whereas the night before I was almost certain he’d have to sit out due to the injury. By 24 hours he was completely back to normal with no pain at all.
We’ve not used it for anything else yet, but this is going to be a staple for my family. Truly miraculous stuff. Thank you for educating me about it!
I am the person that first mentioned Onyx to you, many moons ago. I thought you would be amused by something that just happened to me. I have been using DMSO gel for about a week now, and last night I took 1/2 teaspoon of it in liquid form. I just approached a colleague to ask her a question, and she blurted out, “You smell like Onyx!”
It was the opening to tell her about DMSO, and to share your articles., to which she was very open. The funny thing is, I did not realize I smell as bad as I do! :D
I'm an 88 year old lady. My daughter gave me a small bottle of DMSO a few years ago; she said it was for pain and for me to "look it up". At the time I couldn't find anything about it, so I threw it in a drawer and forgot about it.
When A Midwestern Doctor first wrote about it, I quickly went to search for the bottle, still in it's cardboard container and never opened. It's made in Germany.
After reading the good doctor's essay, I started applying it to my feet for neuropathy. And it does help to relieve it. Pain in the lower back-gone. Also on my chest for breathing issues-no help there, yet. Found out that anything above my waist would give me a stinging effect, which dissipated within a few minutes.
In an earlier Substack, you mentioned DMSO seems to be more effective on smaller joints. I have arthritic changes in the left abductor pollicis breves tendon. It was causing me a lot of sharp pain on and off and there was limitation of range of motion and ability to open jars, etc. I have been applying the DMSO 100% liquid from the DMSO store for about two weeks. The pain is gone and the ROM has improved dramatically. There’s still a difference compared to the right, but the improvement is remarkable. I am also using it on the right upper back and cervical spine as I have carpal tunnel symptoms of tingling in my right hand. It’s also working, but not as quickly as the thumb. Every time you write about it, I try to read everything. I printed one of your articles so I could re-read and underline. I wish I could give it to my chronic pain patients without fear of repercussions. One of them has Rheumatoid Arthritis, is homeless, and is hooked on Fentanyl due to the pain. It’s hard for me to understand that I can buy this and use it on myself, but I cannot prescribe it for her.
I rubbed some of my DMSO into my mother's painful bunion the other day. (I use it to treat my arthritic fingers but have also used it to eliminate excrutiating tooth pain and infection.)... it alleviated her bunion pain.
As far as sleep, I found DMSO to be activating (internally) - like it was revving me up.
But when I finished the 3 day course, it seemed like my medicines were stronger. I took my regular night dose of cannabis oil, and - it knocked me out. Slept like a log. (this is what inspired my next experiment, below.)
Midwestern Doc is a fan of pulsing. Few days on, take a break, wait until you think you need again.
I'm gonna do a month of daily very low dose DMSO (0.05% in my cannabis oil) for my next experiment. I'll be thankful when the month is over, my oil will taste better! I reckon it will help "transport" the cannabinoids to most needed areas.
While it's not a perfect medicine (it robs you of dreams, for example, so it's not a complete sleep cycle) - cannabis has *greatly* reduced my dependence on pharma drugs. Because I was "experienced," I no longer get "high" or "stoned," just a little 20% release so that I can do the next thing.
I have found using DMSO helps by taking a teaspoon of DMSO I can lower my Xanax significantly but still I only sleep a couple of hours. I’m not likely to take those two every two hours, lol. The DMSO has helped me heal dozens of issues our health care system assisted me to acquire. I was an RN for 25 years but I suppose it’s karmic debt.
Thank you for being a truthful individual about the FDA and their shenanigans. They are one of the developed Rockefeller organization in the early 1930’s, so anyone listening to them and taking their advice will surely have disease through their lives along with an early death. That has always been the program. I use DMSO everyday in various ways. It has cleaned by gut, blood and repaired my ligaments along with Hemp, castor oil, and minerals. Keep writing!!!
Prior to DMSO it was the only thing that had an effect on my cystic acne. Messy, but put that bandaid over it and overnight, it's better. (maybe not fixed, but better)
I used a different protocol to clear an extremely painful tooth infection when I was in the States in 2016.
Found some dmso, food grade hydrogen peroxide and organic coconut oil.
First, I did oil pulling.
Next: rubbed dmso on infected molar. Then applied the h2o2.
One application. Pain disappeared. As did the infection.
Note: A year or so
later, while chewing on a carne asada burrito, a large percentege of that (now dead) tooth cracked off and I bit into it. (Spit it out, thinking it was piece of bone...)
Slowly but surely, most of that tooth is now gone, lost it in bits and sots, but most importantly: zero pain and no infection.
I bought mine from Amazon Australia. It’s 99.9% DMSO gel. Have had the most painful osteoarthritis for the last ~10 years on and off (it moves around from one joint into another. My knee pain is severely limiting my life. So I felt I had little to lose. Seems to be working a treat so far - I just rub the gel into both knees, and my left hip (currently). The pain is DEFINITELY less!
I have just today started to gargle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil and swallow that just before taking the DMSO as my throat had been made a little sore by it I found, so the oil is to coat throat tissues first and prevent any potential harsh drying effects on the throat tissue.
I have also just started taking 500 mg Calcium Disodium EDTA powder dissolved in a little hot water every morning on an empty stomach for Long COVID/nanotech removal, it really works and you can really feel that it does, and the DMSO is making further big differences too. Calcium Disodium EDTA is the only specific molecular formula of EDTA that is safe for human use (there is more than one molecular formula of EDTA).
I first started 2 x 5 ml DMSO a day but have now cautiously cut back to drinking just 5 ml 99.99% DMSO in the mornings first thing, using 1 inch of orange juice added to it in the bottom of a coffee mug, just enough orange juice so that I can knock the whole lot back in one single swig. This leaves a very bitter taste so I follow this with a few more small cupfulls of straight orange juice to rinse out the cup and rinse away all the taste, or any smoothie drink will do really, sweeter-tasting ones are better to get rid of the lingering bitterness.
I spilt some DMSO on the plastic top of my washing machine while transferring it to a dark brown glass bottle and it took the surface clean off that softer type of plastic straight away, leaving marks there, and when I scrubbed my fingernail over those markings the marked surface plastic came straight off, powerful stuff! But that is a softer plastic than Dr Jacobs sells his DMSO in, but I still don't trust any type of plastic at all.
Different plastics are more stable with DMSO and some manufacturers sell it in plastic bottles, though dark brown glass is the ultimate non-reactive safety container for it really to store it in long-term.
It is good to experiment with DMSO to see its effect on a small patch of skin to teach yourself what it can do, then you can be sure to be very careful with it in future, if you put neat DMSO on a small inconspicuous non-visible test area of your skin and leave it, for a few days afterwards you get really thick dry heavily wrinkled skin there appearing like the soles of your feet do when you have been swimming for ages (this will happen to your fingers too), and that can be quite itchy and sore, but this fully returns to normal skin after a few days further, but do not rub this when sore and itchy, as the skin can come off making it worse, been there, done it.
But the good effects on my body have been amazing so far.
My tongue suddenly seems to be almost devoid of fur in the mornings now just since starting the DMSO, I used to get a lot of thick yellow fur in the middle and back of the top of my tongue every morning, now there is only a very delicate frosting of very thin white fur covering a much smaller area that is almost negligible, which I clean off with a freshly-washed very thin microfibre cloth every morning which works vastly better than anything else for cleaning the tongue, as tongue scrapers are pretty useless really in comparison.
My hands have stopped contracting and locking in a painful cramp when I try to grip something, this is an effect of Long COVID/chronic neuropathy caused by 2 months ICU treatment that has persisted now for 3 years - a Long COVID specialist I managed to finally see in a different area to where I live after nearly 3 years after my own local health authority repeatedly lied and refused to offer me any help at all told me much of the damage I have now been left with was actually caused by the treatment in ICU rather than the COVID (bioweapon) itself, he told me many of his patients have very similar injuries to mine.
I have had very bad highly painful frequent leg cramps since COVID too, possibly related to the widespread resultant chronic neuropathy I have been diagnosed with, or maybe the cramps have been due to some other related as-yet undiagnosed developing neurological condition but do not seem to have had any cramps in my legs for a few days now, maybe that state of relief will continue, I certainly hope so. The improved blood circulation from the DMSO and Calcium Disodium EDTA will do a lot to help that I am sure.
My legs were very cyanotic, or bluish purple in colour from a hole in my heart newly-acquired from COVID damage in ICU, but now the blue purple discolouration is suddenly greatly improved, though this is just October in the UK and quite mild still, so when it gets really cold I will see if my legs still stay normal colour then too as they are now, a healthy white all over, but so far so good, my legs look a normal healthy colour now with no cyanotic discolouration for the first time in 3 years.
My tinnitus has lessened. Ever since COVID I have suffered a constant 3 tone tinnitus, like jets on a runway, like a dentist's drill, and like a car engine standing running at the same time 24/7, but the whole of my body has seemed to be buzzing at the same time, and my blood has felt highly toxic ever since COVID, but I have noticed that only just since starting drinking a little DMSO a few days after starting Calcium Disodium EDTA, only just after starting DMSO the tinnitus buzzing/vibrating noise/sensation in my head that seems to extend throughout my body is markedly lessened, though I do not know if I will be able to tolerate drinking DMSO on a continual basis every day as my throat is now quite sore and the glands a little hard and swollen, but having just started the olive oil gargling and drinking today I will see if that sorts that problem out, though that will likely take a few days to resolve, bearing in mind what DMSO does to skin neat for days after. And if my throat settles down, I will try going back up to 2 x 5 ml DMSO a day as I first started off with, which gave me most quietening and peace from tinnitus.
I seem to be able to breathe more slowly now too, so the way my body processes oxygen seems to be changing for the better when I use DMSO, scientists have found that the way people's lungs process air is very different following COVID, but I seem to be able to get oxygen from the air I breathe a little easier now after taking DMSO and my breathing at last now seems markedly less asthmatic and rapid all the time these last few days after 3 years of bad breathlessness and dizziness. Asthma and dizziness are other little 'gifts' from the COVID bioweapon that the government left me with that I had never suffered from before in all of my life.
Thankyou for the kind suggestions on the hands, I wonder if trigger finger is what it is, either of my entire hands has been suddenly cramping when engaged in the slightest effort sometimes and then all the fingers and hand painfully cramp and lock and twist, arching right up and back towards the wrist, I get some relief from these kinds of cramps with potassium but I seem to be getting very good relief at the moment from the EDTA/DMSO. Cramping/neurological problems are very common parts of the Long COVID syndrome, I will look into the PT thing, cheers.
PS the olive oil (and I have even starting using hemp oil) to gargle with before drinking the DMSO solution seems to have rapidly resolved the sore throat and swollen gland problem. I remember the same thing happening a few years back when I drank some DMSO back then too, so the gargle with oil is a great idea if you intend to drink DMSO, and so far so good.
Hubs and I eliminated the prickly itching thing by using some type of herbal salve with the DMSO. For my arthritis and general joint pain, we either use Willow Balm or one of those warming salves you can get at a CBD place. Might just be that oils or anything greasy helps soothe that prickly stuff away.
It has always caused skin itching and irritation for me. But I use it anyway because it provides almost instant relief for muscles, tendon, ligament, and joint pain and/or injuries. What I've found is that that prickly itching goes away as soon as the DMSO dries, which takes only a few minutes using the 70% liquid. The gel takes a lot longer to dry and prolongs the itching, so I no longer use the gel. If the itching gets too intense such that I can't stand to wait for it to stop on its own, I just wipe the area with a clean damp wash cloth. But lately, I just bear it because with the liquid it doesn't last that long.
Ditto. I purchased a bottle recently and have only used one ounce of the 70% DMSO gell topically however my trick knee is much more stable now and I don't have the same fears of it unexpectedly giving out. Similarly my mouse hand thumb ache has almost disappeared. TAS, if you have possible reaction concerns with other pharmaceuticals then you might try a the amount that would sit on the head of a pin topically and work up gradually to assess your tolerance.
Here's what I did, Ladyred. I have "fibromyalgia," too (or at least, that's how I describe it to people so that they understand). After I gained some confidence topically that I was not going to react, I took a small tsp in my morning juice for 3 days.

I received this comment from a reader:
My husband is 100% disabled Vietnam vet, agent orange. He's got diabetes, neuropathy, torn rotator cuff, bursitis in hips & PTSD. He's in pain all the time despite taking 12 different meds, including 800 mg Gabapentin 4x's/day, Lidocaine patches & diclofenac sodium gel.
He's had 5 back surgeries, 4 in just the past 4 years:
2013 - first lumbar surgery
2021 - cervical neck surgery;
2022 - lumbar surgery again;
2023 - re-do of 2022 lumbar because bone didn't heal properly & screws came loose;
2024 - redo of 2021 cervical because bone didn't heal properly & screws came loose.
As soon as I read your article I drove to Tractor Supply & bought DMSO gel for animals. I came home & lathered it on hubby's feet, shoulder & lower back & hips. He finally got relief - better than all the other pain meds he's taking! He's cheered up.
Thank you for telling us about DMSO!

Doc, do you have or know of an article by someone you trust that goes into depth about actual use & strength for both topical and oral DMSO use?
I think most laypersons get the “for what and expected, reported results and side effects, but “how?” That is, how do you use/dilute DMSO 100%, for instance, and with what;
how often do/can it be used and are there recommended grace periods to let off use, the repeat;
what about maintenance/long term use; do you just put several drops on you hand and rub it over effected area or just anywhere or place pure DMSO drops sublingual, under the armpit…???
There’s lots of info out there, so where would you recommend people who are new to DMSO start, but also, a link for those who don’t have a lot of time or money to waste—just want to get started with simple instructions?
Book by Amandha Vollmer called Healing with DMSO is a great place to start. Has lots of recipes, precautions, etc. This is not in the book, but I've heard her say that if you take it with pomegranate juice it helps mitigate the smell that can be produced by the person taking it.
My question as well
For topical purposes, as long as not on the face, a good dilution is 70% DMSO to 30% distilled water or pure aloe vera (not the gel junk w/ all the additives)
See the work of Dr. Mark L. Gordon. Sometimes PTSD is related to undiagnosed traumatic brain injury from concussions, blast zone exposure, etc. www.tbimedlegal.com Also see Joe Rogan #1056 as a sort of intro to the work of Dr. Gordon with veterans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jN6eBH8CFc Dr. Gordon addresses brain inflammation and hormone deficiencies. Best wishes!
I have a Tractor Supply near me. They've been my source for Bimectin. Thinking of trying DMSO from them. A little bit unsure of possible side effects though.
It's my understanding that only abt 6% of the population have a Sulphur allergy & shouldn't use dmso (a derivative of tree-paper processing). Start small & dilute the dmso with olive oil, castor oil, extra virgin coconut oil and/or Distilled or spring water (no faucet water). Use plastic as metals are not recommended in dmso usage. U can try a foot bath using hot water in a good plastic container- I use abt a 1½ gallons of D.water + abt ⅛-¼ cup 99% pure dmso (s/times adding abt ⅛ cup castor oil which is an Xcellent way2get the dmso thru the layers of skin). Lately I've often added 1or2 organic tobacco leaves for its detoxing properties. If u apply dmso & notice a slight skin rash or itch wipe it off & try diluting it and/or adding the oil. B sure2use only cotton -preferrably organic white as the dmso will carry dyes &synthetic materials n2 the body & u don't want that!! The dmso will travel2where it's needed.
DMSO likely carries substances in plastic into your system as well. I would not put DMSO in plastic containers.
Was told to use glass containers only. Put some in clear hard plastic cup & it turned white. Couldn’t get it out
It’s recommended to use glass and avoid plastic as DMSO could cause it to release chemicals.
That is where I got my DMSO and ivermectin which i have been taking with great results. I only just began trying the DMSO for pain in my hands, we'll see what happens.
I was trying DMSO for my hand pain, pictures indicate it could be duputryns so I used castor oil and dmso together on my hands and noticed no difference. I probably should have tried it longer. Our family has used DMSO for many years and alwasy got good results. But my right hand has gotten quite bad, I need to be so careful with what I do, and sometimes the tremor makes handwriting unreadable. And the pain makes it hard to sleep.
I have only managed pain in my hands through reading the books of DR> Sarno who writes on chronic pain and the cure for that. I suggest him when pain is chronic and responds to nothing else. Go to Amazon and find his books, healing back pain and others. Read all the reviews. You may see many who have cured their chronic hand pain. Get the books and see if you may be also one of us whom he has helped to get rid of pain. And you could try longer with DMSO as it seems to take some time to work. I swear by DR. Sarno for any aches and pains tho. God bless you!!
Upon your recommendatioon I got Dr Sarno's book, thank you. And MMS has helped my hand. It just stifles me to use it on my hands, cannot do anything while it is soaking in. Calm down Jacky, I guess I could just use that time to pray, meditate, it would do me good too. :)
I agree 100% regarding Dr. Sarno. Helped when nothing else did.
That is great!!! It iis a whole other way!!! tens of thousands are helped by Dr. Sarno.
Silly, replying to my own comment---but an addenda is needed. I am using the DMSO more often now, I just plan a time when I don't need to use my hands. There is some improvement for which I am grateful. But I am also using MMS a few fimes a day, and that has changed what I can do with my right hand. I could not close up my fingers, now I can make a fist, wring out a washcloth, screw a lid off of the milk jug. I could not do that before, I had pliars in the kitchen to do the job for me. Now I don't need them. Praising God. I am thinking that if I stick with my program, I will be much better soon. Between the too, off market, remedies, I am happy to be doing so much better. Also I am feeling more energetic, on a different nutrient program, and am doint the 1 mile walk with Leslie Sanson in the morning, while the DMSO dries, two benefits at once. I am one happy old lady.
How do you use the ivermectin you get at the tractor supply? Is it the paste? Do you apply it topically for skin infections or are you taking it internally?
I never saw this question til now. We take the ivermectin paste internally. We measure out a piece of the jell according to our weight, put it in a shot glass with a bit of water and swallow it down whole in a gulp. It is very easy that way, no taste or anything. And it works to mitigate the flu/covid and all the symptoms as well as a prophylactic to keep healthy and safe from any parasites. We have not used it topically but may think of this in the future. We have had no ill side effects. We know a friend used it to cure his prostate cancer successfully, along with a couple other meds.
Ivermectin should be taken with something fatty. Milk works well and helps to hid the taste. There is a product made in Calgary (AVL) that is a liquid and easier to take orally than the paste. If you are in the USA Ivermectin tablets are easier to come by than in Canada. You can order them through several Indian suppliers. You might also be interested in what a Canadian Doctor William Makis MD is doing treating a variety of cancers with Ivermectin, both orally and topically, depending on the cancer. I read recently that he has been using it in concert with DMSO, but I haven't been able to verify that as yet. He has a substack page and can also be found on Facebook.
Do you take it only when you have symptoms? How do you figure the amount to take by weight?
No, we take it to prevent as well. The ivermectin comes in a tube as a jell and it has increments of weight on the tube. So you measure it accordingly to your weight and slice off a piece of the jell as you push it out of the tube. You will see this if you buy some. It is obvious and very easy.
Saw someone on Instagram to take the plunger with ivermectin salve and put it right on his tongue. Said you cannot overdose.
A friend just shared that he (80 plus) uses ivermectin paste on his rosacea and it calms it down for a period, not a cure, but a help. I plan to try it too (80 plus plus)
My wife and I recently got some DMSO (from DMSOstore on amazon) and we've both been using it, and also giving some to our young daughter who has Down Syndrome. We've been giving her extra vitamins based on the treatment protocol of some studies that I found after reading your previous posts on this topic.
Almost immediately we noticed that our little girl was sleeping better through the night, and she's become more verbal. She'll be 2 in less than a week and she suddenly seems like she wants to say words more intentionally now, even if we mostly can't understand them yet. Also, her appetite has improved substantially. She just seems more active, and that's really awesome!
My wife writes about our daughter on her substack, although there aren't any DMSO specific posts yet:
https://theupsidedowns.substack.com/
And here's a song we wrote about her a few months ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW48DgGOPxw
I am so happy someone here has done this.
Also, were there any articles you found on this topic I didn't link to? I looked for a while, but if there are more I would very much appreciate them.
I couldn't find any other information that was nearly as good as what you've written on DMSO. I did read a couple studies about potential nutritional deficiencies, so our protocol includes supplementing selenium, methylfolate, and trimethylglycine. There are a few other things I'm considering as well.
Here's one of the studies regarding nutrients including selenium:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5396920/
That make sense. I am sure the research in this area on the supplemental nutrients has advanced greatly since when they were just using a few amino acids.
Wonderful to hear that you're supporting your daughter's nutrient deficiencies with supplements. After years in this space (daughter with CVID/PANS), I, and many other biomed families, have come to learn that it often comes back to the minerals! Selenium, Molyb and Iodine are commonly deficient. We also find that ramping up the minerals too quickly can cause painful detox symptoms (ramping up dormant pathways mobilizes toxins faster than they can be excreted).
Most of all, just wanted to jump on her and mention that what we avoid is equally important. It is important to try to avoid synthetic minerals or vitamins that are added to processed foods such as milks, juices, grains, and almost everything in a package. Our immune compromised kids cannot metabolize synthetic ingredients. The harms can be profound as they accumulate in the body. They can literally gum up your circulation, circulating in the blood, never entering the cells, and preventing various pathways to operate fully. It can take years for the body to get rid of these synthetic ingredients. Avoiding them is VERY hard to do as they are in everything. Synthetic forms of folate (Folic Acid), B12 and vitamin C are ubiquitous.
Something to consider regarding toxic chemicals in food supply: upon harvest, grains need to be dry... if due to weather at harvest, grain moisture level is too high, grain needs to be dried using heat ie electric heat, natural gas heat (mechanical heat - big cost). It is much less cost to use "desicant", that is to spray crop with chemical to cause grain to mature/ripen/dry out. I understant that there are a number of chemicals used ie glyphosate (formulations), which are not healthful.
I suffer for spinal cord, injury, awful nerve pain And anxiety. I want to try DMSO how Should I take it?
DMSO comes in liquid or gel forms. I buy the liquid form, 99.9% pure, and put it in a 10ml glass bottle with a steel roller ball an add about 2ml of pure organic carrier oil (coconut, castor or jojoba). Then when something hurts, I just roll it on. Works instantly and I re-apply as needed. It’s especially helpful for tennis elbow due to computer usage for work. I also will add a few drops of essential oils known to relieve pain such as ginger, bay, turmeric, juniper, black pepper, etc. The DMSO allows the oils to penetrate the skin providing deeper and longer-lasting relief. The carrier oil helps reduce the side effect of itching that high-strength DMSO can sometimes cause. You can use it straight without adding oil but the skin might be more irritated by it. The irritation is temporary in my experience.
It is my understanding that metal should never b used in the preparation/application of DMSO. I've read many books on DMSO, followed many users, etc & I have used DMSO for many years with great success but I absolutely avoid using metal with same. Namaste.
I use a 1ml glass eye dropper, is has graduations .25ml, .5ml, .75ml, 1.0ml. I also test a new dropper to determine how many drops it yields per 1ml.
Thus, my DMSO supply, comes in a glass bottle with a glass dropper, it yields 40 drops per ml.
My iodine supply is in a glass bottle, with a glass dropper, it yields 20 drops per ml.
This allows me to create create precise formulations, and most importantly, to adjust formulations as needed ie make stronger/weaker precisely.
I use a pure stainless steel measuring spoon when making a solution of DMSO with distilled water, etc.
If I were you, I would apply as strong I would try to start with a 25% DMSO & 75% castor oil, pure aloe or distilled water. Increase the strength a little daily as tolerated.
Mix in a dark glass bottle dilute it with castor oil, aloe or distilled water. I would work up to 75% DMSO, 25% of the other. I would also add some doTerra frankincense. 20-30 drops & shake before use.
I would do morning after a shower & before bed on clean skin. Be sure to wash hands before & afterwards if you rub it in. It’s a carrier so if you have cleaners or toxins on your skin, it will push them into your system.
Well wishes. 🙏🏻
I love this! Of all of the positive reports, this one is my favorite. And I hope you will more reports in the future. May God bless your little girl.
Ian... So proud of you and your family! Stay the course... Avoid white coats and blue lights as far as possible!
One useful supplement for youngsters like your daughter is cannabidiol (CBD). I have had numerous Down's folks as patients and all have benefited from CBD - helps with anxiety and agitation. Kids and adults on ASD spectrum all are helped, as well as ADD/ADHD.
Charlotte's Web is a good source for 5mg gummies that has been helpful for many of my patients. https://www.charlottesweb.com/
The biggest issue with CBD is that it is unregulated if there is less than 0.3% THC with the CBD. Thus, I am convinced that many of the CBD products online and found everywhere from gas stations to grocery stores are bogus. Charlotte's Web is a reliable source and was a main driver behind CBD's widespread adoption.
Best to you and yours...
Yes on Charlotte’s Web! I used it on my older Cattle Dog in the last 7 years of her life as well as another CBD product, HempRX Forte (hemp oil with CBD). She was diagnosed with Addison disease in when she was 14. She lived to be 16. I also made her food…no kibble!
Excellent... Yes... Can be a huge help for pets. We have a small animal sanctuary and use lots of CBD for anxiety, agitation, and pain.
Ambary Gardens has some super high quality full spectrum CBD as another source.
DMSO is a game changer! I took some doxycycline for a week and a combination of MMS (chlorine dioxide) + DMSO to completely heal my infected tooth (it had the 'zit' on my gumline typical of infection). I also aimed a cheap red laser light at my cheek to help heal my infected tooth. My tooth is totally healed. No pain. No ouchies with hot or cold. If I'd have known how to treat my teeth this way I'd have never gotten so many root canals and fillings.
DMSO sends the healing right to the source. It's amazing stuff. It crosses the blood brain barrier too. Obviously, you have to be careful when using it. XOXO
I used a combination of CDS (chlorine dioxide solution) and DMSO in 4oz filtered water and brushed my teeth with it. Within a week my infected tooth was completely healed. I would have needed a root canal otherwise. 5 drops CDS and 15 drops DMSO.
Thanks for the instructions George, nobody else put these on their comment
I am forever grateful that Dr. Yoho recommended CDS. It helped with a recurring issue in my gum. CDS cleared it up but if I forget to take it, it comes back. So I will be a lifelong user. It took me awhile to add DMSO. Its heating up upon contact freaked me out a little bit but now I am comfortable taking it.
George, where did you get your CDS?
Could you tell us how exactly? What amounts and how? What is a hood red laser light? All I have is the cat toy. Lol
I'm so sorry for not replying for so long! I'm not getting replies in my inbox!!! ARGH!

As a dentist please please just get your teeth cleaned. Many people today don’t trust us and for a good reason. Those who signed agreements with insurance companies to become participating providers, are the ones I wouldn’t trust. Others like myself with no such agreement work conservatively and for the benefit of a patient.
Have an X-ray of the tooth to determine what is the cause of the infection.
Would you go to the doctor if your hand was infected the same way? Why not to a dentist?
why not go to a dentist? because they don't like when I say no flouride for my kids, they don't like when I say no to sealing their teeth with chemicals and they don't like when I say no to X Rays. I don't like dentist offices that still do mercury fillings - or remove mercury fillings as it is in the air/environment - if I say no, they will kick me out of their practice. I'd love to find a dentist office that will clean and check my families teeth without all the extras I mentioned.
I agree with you. I go to a holistic dentist (in NYC), who does not use the typical dentist products (no fluoride, no mercury fillings, etc.)
GO TO A <<HOLISTIC>>DENTIST ONLY..THEY CARE!!!!!!
Some. Some are just money grabs, like everything else.
My reply is a bit late but, I clean my teeth so religiously, I don’t need a teeth cleaning like average people. I’ve gone to a dentist for a teeth cleaning after five years of not having a visit and they are always shocked how clean I keep my teeth and tell me that they have regular clients who come in with teeth not even close as clean and polished as mine after only a few months from their last cleaning. I also, abhor going to dentist appointments because I don’t like getting my head x-rayed every effing time. It’s ridiculou$. I’m sure you’re a rare and honest dentist but I’m fine taking care of my own dental health. I need a dentist like a comedian needs a room full of hecklers.
Why not go to a dentist you ask ?
1- they put mercury poison in my mouth that leeched into my body. I had to get 5 teeth removed and 6 other fillings replaced.
2- They advocate systemic use of fluoride for tooth caries, when there is no benefit from systemic use of fluoride, it is a topical effect. While fluoride kills enzymes, which kills cells, which harms people, reduces IQ , and affects many parts of the body.
3- I was on to the fraud of dentistry, long before the fraud of modern medicine became apparent.
4- Although the toxicity of systemic fluoride is long ago proven, and the justification is based on non science from decades ago, while hundreds of studies showing harm are ignored?
The ADA still supports it. While we know for fact that the USA and Canada drink most of the systemically consumed fluoride on the planet.
5- root canals leave toxic shit in your mouth, even with cavitation. Dentists pimp them for profit.
I use colloidal silver for tooth problems. While I "pull" with it twice a week. I will never go to another dentist unless I am driven to it by pain.
I personally would<<NEVER..>use. the. services of an <<allopathic>> dentist...they are known as<DRILL-FILL-BILL..!!!>at 85...I don't have. to worry.....I WOULD. ONLY USE.......<<HOLISTC DENTISTS>>>THEY WILL<<NOT>>POISION YOU!!!!!!!!
I’m so so pleased you’ve discovered via Dr JM the benefits of DMSO. Several clinicians I know who have been similarly vilified have been using it surreptitiously with great success.
Novaalab has one for the mouth
I use an Australian hand held device called Bon Charge
Did you rub it on the gum?
I use it like a mouth wash...you can also dip your toothbrush in it and brush your teeth with it.

I have a cavity or an infected tooth right now. Please tell
me specifically what you did to heal yours, if you don’t mind?
you can heal cavities! MCHA (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite) remineralizes your teeth - it's made from grass fed beef bones. I bought mine from www.orawellness.com and I make a homemade toothpaste with it. I also use bliss energetics tooth putty which also uses MCHA. You can actually feel your teeth 'growing' with small noticeable changes in your 'bite'
colloidal silver will eliminate bacterial infections. Rinse and spit. 60 seconds, twice a day or more. It is non toxic.
I also use it internally, but that is not necessary for the teeth.
Find at amazon "sovereign silver" brand.
Works on any kind of infection. Cuts, scrapes, eye infections etc.
Making colloidal silver is a simple process. Have been making 15 ppm CS for many many years. DIY techniques & tools are available in the www.
I don't use any fancy equipment though, just alligator clips, 99.9% pure Canadian silver wafers, 3x 9 volt batteries & distilled water.
St. George Nano Silver on amazon is a great resource. One of the few sources of nano colloidal silver.

I just gargled in my own urine. Took one day to disappear - and it was bad.
Please, could you be more specific on this? I’m dealing with the same thing right now. Could you elaborate on where and what brands of DMSO and MMS plus the carrier oils you used and where you got them? I don’t have the red light for that therapy either. Thanks!!
I will send my blessings to your little girl and pray that she continues to show more positive signs everyday... xox
Amazing story. And i didn't expect such a hq song, as well. Tear jerker warning! I have autistic sons, and would love a dosing recommendation. What did you guys follow?
Watch this, love:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvrHwAmU_ro
Both me and my daughter are on the spectrum because of vaccine damage.
Being on the spectrum is incredibly lonely. People don't understand the sheer lonliness aspect of being aspergers/autistic. There are many levels. Girls usually handle it better than boys but we 'mask'. a lot. I wish nothing but the best for your precious sons.
Have you detoxed the heavy metals? Also, a lot of people see significant progress by doing a parasite cleanse (they harbor heavy metals) There is a free book online about Chlorine Dioxide and how so many people have used it to 'cure' or drastically improve their children's autism symptoms ... one woman collected over 65 POUNDS of parasites from her autistic son! I will try to find the book. https://archive.org/details/healing-the-symptoms-known-as-autism-second-edition-9780989289023s_202011
Look into MasterPeace …a zeolite with sea plasma
Chlorine dioxide is a miracle as well!
I love Chlorine Dioxide…I’ve been making it for a while now. It’s an amazing healer. But, thank you for the info, MamaBear, all info shared is worthwhile to help spread the word. XOXO

For DMSO, about 0.5mL once a day mixed in milk. Very new to this so it's still kind of an experiment.
Is this 99% DMSO ?
I have read a lot the info on the Forgotten Side on DMSO . and many posts talk about 80% ,90% , that gets complicated . because I buy 99% DMSO . I usually work with 50% or 99%. I dilute the 99% to 50% using sterile filtered water . and start with that to see if it can be tolerated . I have been using a teaspoon of 99% in 1/3 cup of warm water ,as a teeth rinse . my tooth is much better .
I want to explain this further , as far as strokes , 50% or 99% DMSO pat on forehead and neck ,its like water , use clean hands , tap on like water . you can do it more than once , it will dry after a few minutes .
For a stroke victim in 2023 can the above method of of tapping dmso in 99% strength on forehead and neck still be beneficial? Do you dilute the 99% strength?
Julie ,I dilute the 99% with sterile water ,so I end up with 50% DMSO , and use that because the 99% burns ,unless its diluted . I have used many times ,for headache . and Dr.Mercola said to use if stroke is suspected . Pat the liquid on your forehead , and neck .
Thank you for responding!
Julie , use half water , half DMSO , so to get 50% solution . its best to use filtered sterile water, , I have a severe sinus infection , and I mixed up 1/3 cup of water with 1/2 teaspoon DMSO ,(99%) and use a Q tip to put in my nostrils, it has helped , so much . I have been using 3-4 times a day .
Any updates on this treatment? Still using the same dosage?
I am still using 99% of DMSO (1 teaspoon) in 1/3 cup of hot water. once a day . as a mouth wash . There still is a tenderness above the tooth . what happened in the first place ,was there was a crown 3 teeth on two teeth pegged. the dentist during the install of the crown , nicked the peg , and put a tiny hole at the gum line . after 8 years ,the the tiny hole became a low grade infected and caused the tooth to decay at the gumline and infected the other good tooth and the crown broke off at the gum line . he ignored this at the time of install , I kept complaining , but he kept denying. I have been doing super cleaning to keep infection away ,also added the DMSO . I had this same thing happen years ago and the infection almost killed me , so I am fearful of dentists , so far I have kept the infection at bay .
Why such a small amount?
For me ,it tastes so bad . and the instructions are "vague" at best . people do not state the % or how much they are using . or how often . so you have to use trial and error . and see what you can tolerate . Dr. Mercola said in an article that if some one has a stroke , to put 99% on the persons forehead . that it will go into the bloodstream .
Mary , I use 99% diluted with equal amount of sterile water , so 50% ,it does not burn . except for a mouth wash ,i use 3 oz. of water with 1/2 teaspoon 99% DMSO , that does not burn as a mouthwash .
thank you for sharing your wife's Blog about your beautiful daughter. She is a gem.
Could you share how you actually administer the DMSO to your daughter? I assume the vitamin supplements are taken by mouth, but what about the DMSO?
CDS, Look up KerriRivera
Absolutely beautiful...
God bless you and your family.
Check out methylene blue for her also. There is a chapter about autism in Mark Sloan’s book. (I’m not sure what the similarities are, but MB is good for everyone. My husband and I have been taking it for about 10 months and have seen great benefits.)
Where can I find this protocol for my daughter? She also has DS.
I have been using DMSO for years and extensively in the past few months for all sorts of things - on the skin, orally up my nose (with great relief for my minor but chronic sinus infections), it healed a chronic infection in my ears with only two treatments, shrank a haemorrhoid to about 10% and took away all itchiness and works magic on my lower back problems. I tolerate 75% to 100% in my nose and ears.
This stuff is absolutely magic.
Don't overthink it.
Just get a bottle of 100% pharmaceutical grade and distilled water and start experimenting. Don't abuse the poor cats. :-)
Start with 10% and put in your eyes and rub it in your skin all around the eyes. If tolerated, go up to 20%, 30%, 40% as high up as you can manage. This stuff works very quick so you should notice results in weeks if you do it daily.
It won't harm you if you are reasonable. Grow some balls man.
You won't regret it. Good luck
PS: Use it on other parts and take it orally - it feel really good.
https://kirschsubstack.com/p/could-dmso-drops-restore-my-vision/comment/76960328
Do Not use if you are one of the appx 6% of individuals who react adversely to Sulphur📣
Can you use it orally if you have had intraocular lens implant?
This is an email I received from a reader:
I learned of DMSO and Cds when in Mexico during covid. I had had one hip
replaced and doctors were recommending my knee next. I never got the jab. Tore 3 muscles in my shoulder playing ball and fought off those doctors who wanted to do a replacement.
I've used ivermectin and CDS to keep the 'virus' away. A salve of dmso with other pain soothing creams to soften the cartilage, numb the pain so I can keep my joints moving. Now, almost 5 years later I am 81 and playing pickleball as well as I did 5 years ago, and playing with the young ones who Don't believe my age.
What is CDS?
Chlorine Dioxide Solution. (Now THERE'S a whole new rabbit hole for everyone to go down, but a good one.) See Dr Yoho's substack: https://robertyoho.substack.com/
Thanks.
Like to mimic / resume like above (shed victim from Pfizer trial co-worker;(. Parasympathetic unavailable. Any success w/DMSO treatments in this area welcome.

This was a note I received from a supporter of this newsletter:
You are awesome thank you so much for the work you do. Also read ur article on DMSO. I found a recipe for hemorrhoids 2 tbsp cocoa butter, 1 tsp dmso, 0.5 tsp potassium iodide. After 4 treatments a 5 yr old internal hemorrhoid has shrunk at least in half.
I did this and it works! I found the protocol online at listen to your gut.
https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/dmso-based-protocols-for-intestinal-rectal-scar-tissue-video/
I gleaned the information off the site and figured out my own formula. At first I used coconut oil, Lugols Iodine, mixed with DMSO. I used a glass eye dropper to insert the mix.
After that, I mix up coco butter, lugols, and DMSO and poured mixture into plastic straws. Put in freezer. The straws make them very thin and easy to inset into the tender inflamed area.
I received immediate relief. With in a couple of minutes I felt relief. I could pass gas thirty minutes later.
No more blood in my stools. I also started a carnivore diet right after.
I’m also using the DMSO on my husband. He’s had a stroke and has Alzheimer’s/dementia. Hoping it helps him.
Carnivore definitely has. His COPD is gone!! Or at least he thinks it is as he is no longer on breathing treatments. He used to do six a day and we could not be to far away from his nebulizer. Now we are wondering if the COPD could of been food allergies? We just don’t know.
Oh, my tinnitus is gone! I put DMSO in my ears for about a week, however, I noticed a difference the first day.
Thank you for all you do. I really appreciate your Substack. When I have more money I will pay subscribe. Because your worth it.
What strength of DMSO?
How did you use it in your ear?
For your tinnitus, what percentage DMSO? did you dilute it? How did you take it - oral, ear drops, rubbing it on skin? Thank you for sharing
Twenty percent. DMSO/Distilled Water 20/80
If you can take that up it 5 % at a time.
I drop into ear. Let it sit on each side a few minutes.
I did 30% dmso in distilled water, soaked in a cotton swab. Shrunk by half in 6 hours!
Two friends of mine had their hemorrhoids vanish after a single subcutaneous thigh injection of .5ml of DMSO. They both had had them for many years, one of them for 15 years, and now they're completely clear.
How would one apply this for an internal hemorrhoid?
I’m thinking that one could make suppositories using coconut oil as the base?
I made suppositories. Coco butter, DMSO. Pored into straws and freeze.
Or you could get the regular molds. The straws are thin and work well on tender inflamed area.

a Remark plastic and Dmso together are to avoid , in witch material is your straw?
Is it possible that external application might be a good start? I'm thinking try what A Middle Child did.
Did you get an answer
Did you apple the mixture internally?
I mean apply
Received via email: "I agree 100% with your opinion on DMSO. I am a physician ophthalmologist who actually wrote you several months ago about my plight when I refused the Covid vaccine and was fired from my job in 2021. DMSO is rapidly and easily absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, absorbing with it any molecule that is dissolved in it. I created my own DMSO solution that contains green tea extract (EGCG), turmeric (curcumin), and some other natural goodies. I have used it topically on myself and my children safely. I applied it daily to a couple of my benign skin lesions (seborrheic keratosis-type lesions) which regressed completely after approximately two months. I also applied it topically daily to my son’s ankle after he rolled it in a basketball game. The severe swelling and discomfort went away within a week, and he was back playing within two weeks. Imagine what other nutraceuticals and/or pharmaceuticals we could add to DMSO that could revolutionize medicine. I have many many ideas. I support your cause and I hope you’re doing well."
Do you use dmso for eye problems? I have 4 th nerve palsy and a wrinkle in one retina and a pseudo hole in the other plus mild cataracts. The double vision plus waviness have mae made getting glasses to give binocular vision impossible. I’ve see 3 neuropathologists and the prescriptions all make things worse. I’ve been thinking about dmso in my eyes but haven’t had any support to try
I’ve not any experience but have read that people have used DMSO in eyes. No RX known.
I tolerate up to 40% dmso diluted with saline. 1 drop. Vitamin C makes it sting. Which is the side effect reported when using DMSO & vitamin C to treat BCC (basal cell carcinoma).
I received this comment from a reader:
Thank you so much!! I have grade 4 chondromalacia and basically no cartiladge left behind the kneecaps , due to a patellofemoral tracking disorder . I strained my knee several days ago and the swelling was significant . I thought I would have to have the fluid drained and steroid instilled . I have had this done twice in the past . I used castor oil first on my knee, rubbed it in, then, 100% DMSO . I iced and rested the knee. I did this two or three times a day . Amazing response!! Better than draining and steroid !! I put some DMSO on my dog’s paraspinal muscles . She has lumbar spondylitis . She was moving better and brought me a pine cone to thank me !!
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-is-a-miraculous-therapy-for/comment/70852172
I have the same knee problem & Absolutely swear by dmso & castor oil👊⭐️
Dmso is indeed marvelous. We gave 50 grams of Dmso i.v. daily for five months to a person who severed her lumbar spinal column. No organ damage noted from the Dmso and she can now drive and walk albeit slowly. Approximately forty (out of forty) patients with confirmed bacterial prostatitis have eliminated the bacteria in their prostate with a single dose of antibiotic dissolved in Dmso administrated via catheter three times a week for 4 weeks. No recurrences. Hematoxylin dissolved in Dmso i.v. has reverted several cancers. Speaking to the topic brought up in your Substack - LD50 - before employing the treatment an LD50 study was clearly necessary. Since a published study was not found we had to take on the challenge of doing one. At the dosis necessary the result was several times less toxic than acetaminofen mentioned in your article above.
Thank you IMMENSELY for your article(s) on Dmso.
Could I just add here that mid-December 2019 I underwent a TURP for BPH (that is I had a re-bore of my plumbing for a benign swollen prostate which had totally blocked my water pipe) - just in time before the covid debacle. Though it mostly cured my problems it remained difficult to pass water without a full bladder and I frequently wake in the mornings feeling pressure on my kidneys. About 3 or 4 weeks ago I started taking 99.95% dmso orally, a teaspoon per day in the morning.
Within 5 days several things were noticeable a) I pass water far more easily, b) my hearing accentuated, c) my eyesight improved somewhat, d) my mind was that much sharper and e) my blood pressure dropped from 160/90 to 150/80 and I just sense my heart is that much better.
PS
I had done a fair bit of research before jumping into dmso as I've had 2 ablations of the heart for atrial fibrillation. I'd already begun talking to my GP that I thought I was on too many meds for heart and BP (amlodipine, ramipril, bisoprolol and apixaban). We'd agreed to drop the ramipril and increase the amlodipine but this seemed to me to increase my BP. However, I unilaterally decided to dump the bisoprolol and apixaban and take up dmso. I feel totally justified in taking dictatorial control of my own body and I'm quite prepared to argue with the docs. (He'd relayed a message that the cardiologists had been emphatic that they I should continue the bisoprolol and apixaban but supplied no evidence or reason. Well, I'm sorry but, "Because the doctor says so" is, in my book, no longer a good reason to do so. In fact the opposite. Here in the UK the National Health Service is commanded by the National Harm Service who drive all the protocols. That they have suppressed dmso for decades is categoric proof that they are evil. They have intent to harm. Well, that is off my chest. Hahaha
my tip on prostate issues is really boring. about 10 years ago i stated to be aware of my prostate. i would have to get up 1-2 times a night to pee. it felt slightly uncomfortable. and sometimes i would get something like a spasm pain.
i started taking a lot of vit C for unrelated reasons. 2g/day. after about 6-12 months all the prostate stuff went away. my gum pockets at dental visits improved. i got colds/flus a lot less. finally i realized this was from the C. i've tried so many things that did nothing. but i still take C to this day. 2g a day. it's cheap, easy, and low toxic. although the internet seems to think i'll damage my kidneys. haha.
My husband started taking 2g vitamin C per day (1g morning, 1g evening) when covid started creeping into our country. He’s a builder and is always nicking/cutting/wounding himself in small ways. He found that all his little injuries were healing up in double quick time. He flew through covid just having a fever and sore head one evening ( even though he has asthma and sleep aponea) then off outside to work after one day. He probably has high vitamin D levels too, due to working outdoors.
i forgot about that. i never got sick from covid. i absolutely had the virus in my body due to taking care of sick covid mother, and my wife and kid getting it (very mild for them).
i give credit to vit C, D, and something my horse friend recommended. for a horse he's on the cutting edge.
Yes. Yes. Yes. I started taking 1 - 2 gr. Liposomal Vit C, pricey but I was willing to give it a shot as a doc I like recommended it. I guess it was about 6 mo, maybe more, I went to dentist, routine visit. X-rays. Saw a new hygienist, my age 63. She looked at my mouth, X-rays and was astounded. Your mouth looks like that of a 30 year old. I’m 63. And she said, we don’t see many 30 year olds anymore that have such a healthy mouth. No dark triangles, beautiful pink gums. I was overjoyed! I had years of dental ails prior to this. I think she was so stunned because she has been looking at teeth for 30+ years. And was used to be more the norm is now the exception. She said she might see this healthy mouth once a week, on a good week. She was elated.
Young hygienists, no offense, are used to seeing mouths in poor health. Now The norm.
what brand of Vit C do you use/ like?
For liposomal, I take Livon. I like it a lot. It’s pricey but you can find it discounted sometimes. Liposomal is not a cheap manufacturing process.
For capsules, i would just stay away from cheap name brands. Like the ones sold at big box stores.
I squeeze a fresh lemon every morning. But I'll look into vit C. I did see Agent.... post that VitD is rat poison and he is right. It is. I take 100 mcg / 5000 IU every morn. If I were a rat and ate 1000 tablets for breakfast there is a 50-50 chance I would die.
Vit D 3 with K. We need at least 10,000 iu. Of D. A day. Unless yu live in a very sunny spot. Some brave hospitals treated covid patients with 250,000 iu.! Yes 250 k.
It worked. It is very safe. As is Vit C. So is Horse Ivermectin. We have very special horses living right in our house, worth far more than the best race horses. When "viruses" hit we give the horses a half+ tsp. Once or twice a day.
Neigh neigh
Vit D3 with K2 specifically. K2 helps ensure Calcium in blood gets deposited in tissues versus in coronary arteries. Plus, if you take a toxic statin drug for cholesterol, statins block conversion of K1 ➡️K2, which likely is reason statins increase CAC (calcium deposition in arteries).
Statins also destroy COEnzyme Q10 in your body---drugs ae killers, at most, usually, they mask the symptoms that linger on and make you ill.
I'd suggest D3, K2 and Magnesium.
That is brilliant info! Thank you.
& Magnesium Kickstart the vitamin D³ - always good2take d³ with vitamin K, C & Zinc as they work synergistically - But never use products with fillers or binders!
Before the covid shot (I’m injured), I took 1000mgs of vitamin C daily. Now I can’t take it because it causes my lips to chap and causes stinging slits at the corners of my mouth. So, I no longer take vitamin C, sadly.
Most of the vitamin c taken is an acidic form. It tastes extremely tangy. But there are other forms such as Sodium Ascorbate. This has a slightly salty flavor. Very mild. That's what I take. I buy it in bulk and mix some in a glass of water. Might be worth a try.
Look at Liposomal. Bypasses the gut.
Try Mercola brand Liposomal. I use it all the time its cheaper than Liv on labs and it wont burn you
Human body is unable to synthesize Vitamin C, so it is essential to find a source you can take.
Please try the liposomal version of Vitamin C because C is a vital part of our nutrition. Also, my granddaughter can only take a natural food based vitamin C. Search out the foods high in Vit C and add them to your diet. Take your vitamins with food as they are constituants of food and are better absorbed that way. Also, pray about this need and see how God will lead you. Prov. 3:5-8"Trust in the Lord with all your heart--------and it will be health to your naval and marrow to your bones." God created you and knows what you need, ask Him, He is good and gracious and generous.
get the liposomal, it won't do that
Try O’Keef’s lip repair daily. Works amazing.
2 g only? I have taken 8g every day in maybe 10 years, and I'm never sick, but I have tinnitus and a bad neck after a motorcycle accident. Thats why I just start with DMSO to see if it works. I also drink Colloidal Silver every day.
Yeah. From what I understand, it's diminishing returns. I once had a doctor that took something like 10 or 12 g a day. That's where I start having GI issues. 2 g a day is well above the RDA and taken long-term it's worked well for me.
APIXABAN / ELIQUIS
This is exactly the kind of post I came here to search for. I struggle with feeble blood circulation in my legs below the knee (whatever that part of the leg is called in English). In combination with working (day and night) with computers, I ended up having two instances of pulmonary embolism, so, blood thinner is a thing for me.
My question is, can DMSO be of any help to get off Apixaban altogether? (I have NOT used Apixaban and DMSO at the same time while trying DMSO).
Anyway, my story:
* Two (2) instances of pulmonary embolism.
* first time: Eliquis for one year.
* second time: Eliquis AGAIN, but the prescription suddenly stopped after 6 months (early this spring).
* Inherited poor blood circulation in my lower legs.
* As a programmer, sitting very much.
* Compression socks tend to stop blood flow rather than speed it up... (I'm done with them).
---
So that was the background. And now I got interested in DMSO (and I have also tried applying Cayenne pepper on the lower legs and wrapping them with thin plastic. Cayenne pepper (from the food store) applied like this increases blood flow immediately (due to capsaisin, I presume), but it's greasy, messy and cumbersome to apply.
Now, you have had good results with DMSO, taking one teaspoon daily, and I'd like to know how much one can take per kg body weight, and if it also can help dissolve existing blood clots in the lungs and lower legs?
I'm pretty sure the clotting is at me again after my prescription of Eliquis was disrupted after 6 months (early spring) and the fact that I just couldn't increase my general fitness throughout the summer despite walking 5km every day, plus cycling etc. (had to rest 1 or 2 times along the 5km trail.
Feeling like a 90 year old at 63, although having no other health issues...
Anyone with experience of treating such a case (feeble blood circulation in lower legs with more serious pulmonary embolism almost guaranteed if not quickly finding a solution). I would prefer any effective (and convenient) alternative to eliquis.
In short, I want pfizer out of my system. ;-)

My husband has, well I should say had, terrible varicose veins in his feet and shins as a result of breaking both ankles when he was in his 20s. I started using witch hazel on his legs letting it dry and then applying a 70/30 DMSO cream. He also takes he takes Hawthornberry (to strengthen the veins) and cayenne pepper capsules 3x a day (vaso dilation ). (see Barbara O'Neil's videos on YouTube) He used to have two spots that I called "bulging roses" they have all but disappeared. The smaller veins on top of his feet and sides of his ankles are improving everyday. We also bought a wedge so he can elevate his legs when he sleeps. He's not one to lay on the couch during the day so I had to get him to do it at bedtime.
Another thing we used DMSO for was to get rid of toe nail fungus. A few years ago he saw podiatrist and had his toe nail removed because of nail fungus. the toe nail grew back a bit but never much past the quick and the nail bed was useless. We tried all sorts of things Tea Tree Oil, commercial nail fungus products, etc. Nothing worked. So we decided to try something new. He soaked his feet in Epsom salt foot bath every night. Then at bed time we put Ivermectin paste on the toe and then DMSO cream and put a sterile bandaid over it. In the morning after his shower before dressing he did it again. Within a week the toe nail was free of fungus. Today it's still gone and the toe nail has grown back healthy.
Then at bed time we put Ivermectin paste on the toe and then DMSO cream and put a sterile bandaid over it.
haha
Leftists heads exploding all over the place if they read this
I have tinnitus and some hearing loss in one ear (2020) and was wondering if ingesting DMSO or applying it topically would be best to help tinnitus and hearing, but am having trouble locating any specifics in regards to tinnitus. Anybody?
My husband has been using a 50% dmso in distilled water as ear drops. Twice a day. Leaving the drops in for 15 mins on each side. He is experiencing increasing improvement with his hearing. He's had to got to Costco twice to have his hearing aids recalibrated.
Exactly what I wanted to know
I used 20% DMSO in saline eye drops in one of my ears that felt like it was blocked, and the problem eventually went away. It might have been the DMSO, or it could have been coincidence. DMSO seems to help with a lot of things. A lot of coincidences.
I applied the eyedrops to my ears sporadically over a period of time.
Somebody said 20/80 DMSO /distilled water one. One drop in each year.
Just to clarify, 50% DMSO (bought prediluted in distilled water, from someplace like the DMSO Store?) And How many drops in each ear?
Thank you!
I have just recently been using something very similar for toenail fungus. Have had the issue for decades, nothing seemed to help. About a month ago, I mixed 1/3 DMSO, 1/3 iodine spray, 1/3 ivermectin cattle dip (a tincture of ivermectin in isopropyl alcohol) -- all available at my local farm co-op. Put a drop or two on my bad toe nails near the base and at the outer end, once in the morning, once in the evening. Within a week or two the fungus seemed to be dead and the toenail aches stopped, but I have continued applying it while the nail grows out. It is too early to know what the long term nail growth will be, whether just nail bed, or completely restored, but this has worked FAR BETTER than anything else I have ever tried.
There are a lot of similar reports to this in the DMSO literature!
Thank you!! I tried a number of different products as well and like your husband, my nail would never grow beyond white part too. My latest attempt, which seems to be working a miracle, is Vicks Vapor Rub. I have been using it for about 4 months (Aug to Dec) and the nail is finally growing about half way up...the nail bed above is finally dry. Hopefully, in about six months it'll be back.
Thymol is in Vicks. It's anti-fungal
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I moved to DMSO and povidone iodine (bentadine) which I based on this: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4599634/
Its been about one month...its a dry nail bed but not growing.
I'll go another month or so then maybe try the ivermectin paste. It would be amazing to have my nail back.
Horse chestnut is supposed to be helpful with varicose veins.
I love this, use what you have, healthy, God leads us in the way we should go. What I do, or you do, won't work for everyone, so we all seek to know the way God would have us go and do and it works. Amen
How much Ivermectin paste do you use? How is it applied?
Coincidence seeing your post today as I too have a clot DVT in my leg and was just reading dmso user comments on Amazon, and saw this: excerpt “….recently i had a blood clot in my leg, i used it once an hour 24 hrs then several times a day and rubbing over my leg every few hours and within 8 days it was gone, which was proven by ultrasound…” If want to read his full comment look up those under the “DMSO 8 oz. Glass Bottle Non-diluted 99.995% Low Odor Pharma Grade Liquid” from the DMSO Store on Amazon. I am on compression stockings for life, occasionally go without, but when sitting I always elevate my leg on desk or tabletop. And homeopathic Ledum 1M gives relief too when I feel concern in leg. Aside, a vascular surgeon said I’d be on blood thinners for life, and blessedly at urging of a friend I saw a highly acclaimed orthopedic doc who’s specialty is hip and knee replacements who said my swelling was due to the thinners, a cardiologist confirmed no need for thinner as clot had probably been there for over 50yr (as I was bedridden for seven months after major broken leg car accident back then). Blessed to get a life altering second opinion so no thinner or knee replacement.
I have done that too!
CARTILAGE AND SHOULDER, KNEE & SPINE CARPENTRY
>"no thinner or knee replacement."
Wow, that was a wonderful turn of events!
From one thing to another; I have a question about recovery of injured or degenerated joint cartilage (The "knee replacement" statement caught my special attention.)
Background: A short while ago I was developing (low-level programming of) software for analyzing 3D CT & MRI scans of injured shoulders, knees & spine etc., in cooperation with a surgeon and some other domain experts. This very kind surgeon once mentioned, that if an injured cartilage in the joints is ruined more than ~25%, then it will never recover.
(My guess is that it has something to do with cell-signaling becoming too weak as the cartilage gets destroyed, but who knows).
Now, based on my worldview I felt that the claim that "it can never recover again" cannot be an absolute truth, because biological systems tend to be smarter than us in the sense that our biology is essentially advanced information systems, even communication systems between cells, aso (and these systems can be tampered with in both good and bad ways).
So, I replied that I don't believe that the "cannot recover"-part in his statement to be absolutely true (although it's probably the common understanding out there).
More likely, what may happen in these cases perhaps is that the cell signaling gets "weakened", or gene methylation kicks in (or whatever mechanisms are involved) and so the cartilage stops (re)generating. I mean, if it can heal at some degree of injury, then it should (theoretically) be able to heal at ANY degree of injury (at least if we could help it to heal).
I also mentioned the simple fact that in the embryological stages cartilage develops without any problem, and cancer cells have the opposite problem (difficult to stop from spouting new cells, aso...). The genes involved in genetic mechanisms (even in GRNs) activated during embryological stages often get replaced in later stages of the embryo.-growth (one gene can swap into entirely new roles up to 5 times during the embryological growth (Eric Davidson, CalTech), so some pre-existing functionality may get lost for good, but who knows exactly what genetic potential stays for life[*]?).
In any case, the claim that "cartilage cannot renew itself" stuck with me, and since this is a very (very) big problem in the wild, I'm curious to learn if there's any "uncommon knowledge" out there that can shed more light on what can be done about ruined cartilage in joints?
----
[*] From a design-perspective (I'm a software designer myself), it would be wasteful (read; idiotic) to keep all the scaffolding and support structures needed during the construction of a building, or our bodies, for the rest of the lifetime of the building or the body, because that specific genetic information that will never be used again would have to be maintained and consume energy for say another hundred years while being effective only "during the construction" of the body, often only for a couple of hours, days or weeks.
I don’t know if cartilage can renew itself or not, but I have had some version of prolotherapy done on my knee for torn meniscus and shoulder for tendon damage and in both cases it was wildly successful. My shoulder was less damaged and gets used less, and I only went to one of four appointments. I have complete pain free use of my shoulder still and the treatment was a good 15 years ago. My knee was swollen to the point I couldn’t walk, much less work (I am a tree climber/arborist and used to run a lot). I got 3 of the 4 prescribed treatments and I went back full time to tree climbing and have run many races since then including two full marathons. For my shoulder, the doc just injected an inert solution to provoke inflammation and that worked. For my knee, he centrifuged my own blood in the office and injected some of the blood cells directly into the wound. Some swelling, some discomfort, after 24 hours all of that is gone and you go on as before. Usually one month between visits. Incredibly cheap compared to surgery, and no side effects. I Used Dr Tallman in Scottsdale/Phoenix Arizona, who is an incredibly compassionate and conscientious doctor and who worked with me with the price because I didn’t have much. The Platelet Rich Plasma PRP treatments are now widely used in sports medicine and you can get them just about anywhere, though it helps to find a doc who does his homework on the injury and is thorough and conscientious and pays attention to where the needle goes.
Hopefully this will give a little more info…
My wife tried prolotherapy on her right hip about 7-8 months ago with 3 injections. I has helped quite a bit.
I save a lot of blog posts and reader comments, not assuming helpful websites will always remain accessible, just searched my files and found a couple of ‘cartilage’ comments fwiw, both from the AMD articles:
1__“I have grade 4 chondromalacia and basically no cartiladge left behind the kneecaps , due to a patellofemoral tracking disorder . I strained my knee several days ago and the swelling was significant . I thought I would have to have the fluid drained and steroid instilled . I have had this done twice in the past . I used castor oil first on my knee, rubbed it in, then, 100% DMSO . I iced and rested the knee. I did this two or three times a day . Amazing response!! Better than draining and steroid !“
2__”I crushed the cartilage in my right ear by accident, applied DMSO, and the wound was healed in three days, without scars.”
BTW the Amazon commenter I mentioned earlier (treating the clot in his leg) also noted that a dmso teaspoon stopped a stroke while it was happening in his mother, and with dmso his parents (father is 93yo) have been off blood thinners for three years now though not clear to me what daily dose he now gives them---maybe a tablespoon---anyway maybe encouraging to think it a future possibility….
Good luck accessing IVM, on other sites I’ve gotten the impression some will relabel the IVM bottle so customs will let it in. Or maybe another in Europe like Tess Lawrie could be helpful.
You can buy pharmaceutically pure IVM labelled for veterinary use - 12mg tablets as Pet Mectin, on the devils own marketplace Amazon. Very reasonable cost.
Loves "the devils own marketplace" my sentiments, why support china and then complain about the lack of industrial activity at home? duh we used to say
Cell signalling. Well you may like to See the website for Asea Redox. See what you think. It is supposed to trigger cell signalling. We have used it only a short while(2 months) for tissue and tendon damage and terrific pain. And amazed how it works. There are a lot of amazing testimonials. On the other hand. We also found DMSO helped the pain. From an Old injury. Anybody else know any comparisons ASEA to DMSO?
I have tied ASEA but I think the DMSO works way faster and seems more permanent after just a few applications plus way cheaper my husband had severe pain in his shoulder and arthritis in the ball joint. Two applications of DMSO in 2 days his pain was gone
Rolf, i hope you see my comment, meant to be a reply here (but moved due to having to sign in and it getting caught up in the mix, i guess). My comment should be near the top of the page (on July 7). Basically promoting glucosamine (not the chondroiton which i have no experience with) and then a mix of stuff found in 'heal-n-soothe'.
Short answer: in your shoes I would not hesitate to take dmso instead of apixaban/eliquis. The latter inhibits Factor Xa, an amplification enzyme in the cascade of coagulation. It prevents clots. It does nothing else. Dmso additionally removes clots and increases blood perfusion throughout the body. It is criminal that they do not prescribe it. IMO.
If you're going to take it orally make sure you get 99.9% or better. Topically Dr. Stanley Jacob found 70% strength optimal, usually. You can get 70% in aloe vera in HDPE bottles. (That hard plastic is supposed to be OK)
As to how much I don't know the limit, it is likely quite a lot. But I believe Jacob himself drank an ounce a day (5 teaspoons). He himself said it was very individual how much was best. Take it slow and try to find the best for you. Give your body a chance to respond to its new resource. It has to learn how to use it. (In a pulmonary emergency I'd just slap it on. :-)
Try a little on your skin first to make sure you are not allergic.
Thank you for your reply!
I got myself a box of eliquis (doctors panicked after a routine health check when discovering that my prescription had been interrupted last spring. They said I should be on eliquis for life). But although I have the box now I will not open it before I have tried DMSO orally for a month or so. Hopefully I will never have to open it again.
But if I stop responding here you'll know it didn't end as expected... ;-)
For 4 days now I have taken a teaspoon of 99.9% DMSO orally, mixed in a glass of orange juice or distilled water (tap water not the best quality in my town).
Do I understand you correctly that it would be better to sip a "clean 70%" mix (mixing the 99.9% DMSO with 30% distilled water) rather than mixing it with a glass full of distilled water? (I've tried a 50% concentration tablespoon earlier (orally) without any problem).
Anyway, I will try double the amount each day for two consecutive days and see how I respond. If I can tolerate up to, say 4-5 teaspoons a day for a month, I think I can feel confident to turn this around, and then perhaps reduce it some after that.
I don't think I have a pulmonary emergency just yet but it could quickly end up in an emergency again if I'm not addressing it immediately. So I'll increase the dose immediately (in a minute or two).
I feel your reply is very helpful since I now know at least the "theoretical limits" (for example the "5 teaspoons a day" remark). Thank you!
"MOUSE WRIST"
BTW, I've noticed some significant rash on the skin when applied topically on the wrist on my "mouse arm" (perhaps a carpal tunnel syndrome). But since the itching calms down after an hour or two I don't care much about it if it fixes my wrist (remains to see). I call it a "mouse-wrist" so I'm using two mice, one for each hand.
// All the best from Sweden
Very best wishes! for me the greatest thing is the perfusion. The blood is the life, as the Bible says. Get the blood going where is should be and the body will heal itself.
I think the way you are taking dmso orally now is fine. The 70% is for wiping onto your legs. Does not help to rub it in. Wipe it on and leave it to dry for 15-20 minutes if possible.
I am fortunate in that I do not get a rash. The dilution to 70% is meant to ease that rash, that was Jacob's experience. The aloe vera similarly eases the itching.
>"The blood is the life, as the Bible says. Get the blood going where is should be and the body will heal itself."
Amen. Our body is designed to heal itself. Although in a broken world it needs a push here and there to do its thing. Both body and soul gets it life through the blood.
Dr John Ellis in south Texas is a hand specialist. I had carpal tunnel ( self diagnosed---just cringe at going to dr) and he uses Vit B6 to rebuild the myeilin sheath, and it worked for me. I already take 200mg B complex daily and added 100 mg Vit B6 and in 100 days, no more pain or disability. Praising God, 100 pills for about $6 lots cheaper and easier than surgery. I should have used DMSO too but didn't think of it.
Is it possible to take DMSO while taking Eliquis? My husband was just diagnosed with portal vein thrombosis and cardiomegaly and the doctor prescribed Eliquis.
Quite probably as they have separate actions. I have the confidence to go with DMSO alone because I sincerely believe it to be superior. But I'm not your husband and I'm not a doctor. Eliquis has a single action - it inhibits an enzyme.
My own thought process was that there may just possibly be a cross-reactivity - but I do not know of any occasion on which a thing has occurred with any other drug. I stopped the Eliquis (Apixaban is just another name for it.) and started the DMSO at the same time. Nevertheless you are wise to be cautious. Perhaps talk to your doctor.
Ever tried Nattokinase? It is amazing. And safe..
.Especially for blood thinning. Unless you are on medical bood.thinners. And try rubbi g DMSO on the legs once.or twice. Just a thought.
Nattokinase.is important for anyone who has had a recent shot or even been near.someone who has. IN OTHER WORDS, EVERYONE. Everyone is at risk of clotting now. See also Pierre Kory,MD posts. Or Peter McCullough, MD.
.. IT (Nattonkinase) IS one of a few choice.remedies for detoxing from "IT". Ive used it for years to heal from strokes.
Dr Klinghardt agrees, we all have the spike protein even if we didn't get the clot shot. Natto or lumbrokinase, 200 mg suppository melatonin, IVM, wax bound niacin and maybe toss in 5mg of cialis! Women too.
I never took the clot shot.
I use DMSO now to prevent blood clots (poor blood circulation in lower legs). Also, Nattokinase is on my supplement shelf. I take it now and then.
how to you use DMSO? on skin, in a drink?
I take a table spoon of DMSO daily (except weekends).
At times I also put it on the skin of my lower legs, mixed with ~15-20% honey to avoid rashes (many people don't get a skin reaction, but I do).
No reaction from drinking it. The honey can be used also for the drinking formula in order to reduce or eliminate the sulfur odor.
Do you mix the DMSO with something before taking it?
I use 99.99% DMSO and put a tablespoon of that, unmixed, into a glass of water (~2 deciliter). That's it.
Sometimes I also take a teaspoon of organic honey afterwards, directly in my mouth. This reduces any smell from metabolizing DMSO.
I would not use honey mixed with any spooky stuff or watery mess. Organic. Fairly "dry" (which is a sign of natural and well preserved honey).
Do you mean just tap water or distilled water? I've heard it should always be distilled to avoid the absborbtion of chemicals in the tap water.
NOW USING FILTERED WATER
At the time of writing that I used distilled water (bad water in our town), but since then I have purchased a water filter connected to the tap water, so I can both drink and use that water instead of distilled water.
Example with Micro spiral filter (even better than coal filter):
https://shop.planetsown.com/produkt/geysir/
I live in the South of Sweden but I was born some 120 km North of the Arctic Circle where water was clean and actually tastes GOOD. With this filter I feel like "home" again - water tastes good again! ;-)
I totally agree and have been taking Nattokinase tablets for a couple of years, but I don't know if I should continue indefinitely or if it's 'safe' to stop. I didn't have any adverse reaction to 'it', but took the supplement just in case.
Lack of circulation can be due to clogged arteries, which, according to the Pauling and Rath theory, comes from a lack of vitamin C. Their protocol is 6-18 grams of vitamin C a day and 3-6 grams of L-lysine a day. People with chest pain have seen relief within 10 days to a month of starting this protocol, so I'm thinking if this can unclog coronary arteries, it can do the same for the legs, maybe. Also, read AMD articles\ on restoring the zeta potential.
Have u tried Dr. Christopher's Cayenne Pepper extract? I use it frequently to clear arteries & improve BP. It is known2heal blood bleeds anywhere in the body & will stop strokes-heart attacks within minutes. I've had 2ea & now carry my xtract with me.
MarshaGail wrote: >"Have u tried Dr. Christopher's Cayenne Pepper extract?"
No, but I have used regular "table Cayenne Pepper" from the food store. It works very well, and boosts blood flow immensely within half an hour. Only problem is it's not convenient to apply (olive oil to make it stick on the lower legs, then try to sprinkle the CP on the oil, then try to cover it with some thin plastic...). Too messy.
I've also tried some ointment containing Capsaisin, but it only hurts while not doing much good.
But Cayenne Pepper works incredibly well, if it only wasn't that messy.

I have used the high potency 180K heat units of this stuff for about 3 1/2 years after a mild heart attack. Every day I take 3-4 drops with other herbs in water. No problems at all. Doctors wanted me on several heart drugs and also do a stent or two. I refused it all. Male, age 75. About $15/bottle that lasts almost a year.
Where did you get your hight strength CP from, as I can't get it in the UK?
Where did you get your 180k heat unit Cayenne? I live in the uk and can't seem to find that strength.
Vitacost has it, it's actually 190K, I don't know if that helps you in UK. Search Christopher's Hot Cayenne Extract.
When I was diagnosed with A Fib and a pulmonary blood clot I was put on eliquis, later heard about a clot buster/blood thinner LUMBROKINASE and now I take that instead, CT scan showed blood clot gone, don't know for sure what did it but I am off of the heart medicine and Eliquis, and have not had an episode in a week or more. Stay natural if at all possible. I am 87 and doing well. Also a user of DMSO for many years.
Some further thoughts came later… I subscribe to a newsletter by Scott Marsland and recalled he recently wrote about Sulodexide, recently which he thought was better, safer, and cheaper than Eliquis for example. (Scott works with Dr Pierre Kory in the “Leading Edge Clinic” (https://drpierrekory.com/ which may be of interest itself to you as they do telehealth consults). (Dr Kory like AMD is a true hero, whom you should know of, he and the Midwestern Doctor occasionally post comments of each other’s research and thoughts on their X twitter threads.)
Scott: “In early June 2024 I wrote about the anticoagulant drug Sulodexide (SDX) in my Substack, https://lightningbug.substack.com/p/from-russia-with-love
Some excerpts “… my cardiac echo had shown that I was in heart failure after the COVID shots, with an ejection fraction of 40% and four leaky valves. Three months ago I started taking Sulodexide…...What is reassuring about Sulodexide is that is has been approved by European drug agencies and has been in use since 1972…. is available as a generic medication, which makes it cheaper than comparable drugs such as Eliquis… being cheaper and safer than Eliquis makes it very unlikely that we will see Sulodexide approved by the FDA anytime soon, as it would threaten the Big Pharma…..I know it is scary to think of this, but 100% of the patients we have tested have had micro clotting..’’
Nattokinase and Neprinol also worth learning about.
I've recognized Dr. Pierre Kory since the start of the FLCCC. I think he hinted at this blog. I take Nattokinase regularly.
BTW, I didn't take the clot shot.
I will read up on Sulodexide.
In Sweden, we can't buy many substances that seem to be easily available in the USA and other countries (like Ivermectin etc),and if we try to import it, it will be stopped at the customs.
Also too many MDs have become salesmen for Big Pharma while camouflaging as medical doctors. Many just won't let go of the hockey board and instead think for themselves. Blogs and reader comments like this is a blessing from God.
Not going into details, but difficult times are coming ("foundations are shaking") and everything that makes it possible to stay alive without depending on big pharma needs to be learned asap.
Sulodexide is great for zeta potential!
Does DMSO improve zeta potential?
After a heart incident I was put on Elequis, hating to take drugs, my grandaughter told me about lumbrokinase, I am taking that instead. cat scan said no blood clot in lung. Praise God
I have an app on my computer to "Walk away the pounds" with Leslie Sansone. I am 88 years old, female, I walk with her daily. This one is 12 min. to do a mile. Very easy, warm up, cool down. 15 min max. Do this several times a day. If you can get a rebounder ( mini trampoline) that is even better. You don't have to even jump on it, just gently bounce for 5 min. several times a day. I pumps your lymph system and your blood flow. God made our bodies to move, too much sitting hurts us in many ways. God bless and strengthen you. I see you are a man, and there are 2 men that do the program with Leslie. One Mile Walk, she has several on You Tube, and your can watch freely, or buy a DVD. I like free. :)
I have a bunch of her video tapes that I used to walk to. She is wonderful.
CAYENNE PEPPER IS GREAT FOR BLOOD CIRCULATION,I USE IT DAILY....AS A SPICE..I.SPRINGLE IT ON MY FOOD..BUY CAYENNE PEPPERS,CRASH THEM YOURSELF...STORE BOUGHT?????? COULD BE OLDER THAN ME!!!!!!!!!!!
Nattokinase 12,000 FUs morning and evening on an empty stomach or at least 2 hours away from food. Please wait at least 45 minutes after taking them before consuming food. Continue for at least 6 months. Have a Doppler study done on the circulation in your legs so you can have it before and after.
PLS also consider doing the detox. Dr. Peter McCullough if McCullough Foundation has a thorough one.
Those concerned with clots, look into fibrinolytic enzymes lumbrokinase and serrapeptase, they dissolve clots and scars and such. Mercola has written about them.
nattokinase, Carotec dot com has one
Dr Carolyn Dean wrote a book Magnesium Miracle and claims AFib and a lot / most heart problems are magnesium deficiency. You want to do a Magnesium RBC test, not just a blood test as the blood will pull minerals from the cells to maintain homeostasis. Check out her book and maybe test your Mag levels?
Many thanks for the pointer!
How much (ounces) and in what (distilled water, etc) did you dilute the daily teaspoon of 99.95% DMSO?
9 fluid ounces (about half a pint or one mug full) of boiled tap water in the following manner. I live in an area where the Welsh Water supply is very soft. There is zero scale in the kettle. It is not fluorided and not over-chlorinated. (Trent Water in the Nottingham area is dreadful for over-chlorination. Your bath water can be blue.)
Ever before I'd heard of DMSO it has been my habit to make a peppermint tea before going to bed then put the juice of half or a whole fresh lemon, depending on its size and drink that after my porridge (grits). I have simply added a teaspoon to my morning drink.
Maurice,Nottingham??????Brings back beautiful memories....1962....i worked at...HS UNIVERSITY...i did a couple of years at Oxford U....in Canada since 1964...then a beautiful country...now.....a banana republic.....Maurice...i would like to talk to you about DMSO<HOW TO> USE IT....CLEAR DIRECTIONS...I ordered and just got delivered about 5 minutes ago a book...<HEALING WITH DMSO> by Dr. ROSEMONT MICHAEL...I hope to find the answer I need....God bless...Mario........cbc1960slife@gmail.com
I very much made it up as I went along but I'll say what I can.
Prayers and good luck to you! Such an indomitable fellow!! So glad you wrote of your research and benefits, too. ❤️🙏
Does DMSO 99% feels like hot (warm) when you take it?
Yes. I use it topically. It not only warms my skin but I immediately notice the "garlic" smell on my breath.
That's ok: I'm old. No significant other. 😉
I prepared a teaspoon of it but ... Got scared when it felt hot like it would burn...spit it out and rinsed my mouth with tap water... Another thing: it would be great if those testimonials here would include the DMSO concentration 99? 60? 25? Otherwise it's kind of hmmm unclear for a beginner like me.
Yes, if you drink it neat, it does get warm! It tastes awful too. Try putting it in orange juice or something. If you are drinking it rather than putting it on your skin buy 99.9% pure. Stanley Jacob found many could not take pure on the skin and generally used 70%
I have a book that says it should not be taken with vitamin C so we take a tsp of 99.5% in a small glass of water with a splash of black currant juice and a few drops of liquid stevia. I have also tried using DMSO to dissolve curcumin and make it more bioavailable but that was not entirely successful since I still got lumps. Next time I will add some MCT oil first to curcumin and maybe warm it slightly.
Hi, sorry for the later reply. Interesting ideas. Didn't know about Vit C. But doesn't black currant juice contain Vit C?
Thank you for answering, Maurice. Yes I read throughout the comments and saw you put it in orange juice so I just got a glass of water and yes still tastes awful in plain water but I follow it with half a teaspoon of a herbal compound that coincidentally has an orange flavor and it takes care of the engine oil taste. It's 99 the one I am using. Just a few days on it now. At first when I tried it raw I thought “daaaamn I'm gonna diiiie” lol
Hahaha. OK. I hope all goes well for you and it gives you some hope and assurance.
You say a tsp/day in the morning. Do you do that on an empty stomach? Do you stir it in water and just throw it down the hatch? Did you start at a tsp? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Only too glad to share experience. To be honest, I feel 10 years younger. Any other questions, I'll answer if I can.
What brand of DMSO do you use for consumable use?
Well I live in the UK so I buy from here. This is the most famous brand but it is pricey. Look for 99.98% pure, brown glass bottle and I like a cardboard container to really keep light out. There are usually no instructions as in many jurisdictions it can only be sold as a solvent not a medication. That is how evil the Powers are.
Sorry most famous brand is jacoblab.com, Oregon
Thank you.
That should have been _not synthesised from petrochemicals, or whatever. Don't thing Pole at the end of the line grasped my question. I should have put it more bluntly, "Is this really extracted from wood pulp or not?" The manufacturer is Chem Point SP of Krakow. The label says, "It's a natural substance originating from wood pulp." (In English)
I suspect the Polish DMSO is made from actual wood pulp and synthesized from petrochemicals. I have asked the company. The bottle is blue glass. Should be fine but I'm suspicious of plastics, even the hard ones.
Just bought 500ml from a Polish company going by ale,eko on ebay 99.96%. Cheapest I've ever seen. Let you know how I find it.
How did you get down the one teaspoon of DMSO?
I put it in my mint tea in the morning. Some use orange juice.
I think that is a wonderful story and I believe every word. Right now I am using MMS twice a day so I don't think I will start the DMSO just yet, but eyesight better ( I am using drops for glaucoma) and hearing ( what did you say, please repeat that, is the mike on? at church) all those issues resolved with, DMSO, you betcha I am going to use it. I have had some amazing results, totally unexpected, with the MMS. just 3 drops twice a day. I have a contracture in my right hand, I could not make a fist and was in pain all the time, now I can make a fist and the only pain is numbness and tingling. Remarkable I think. Hand is still weak, but I can take the top off of my milk jug. Before I was using pliars. God is so good to let us have this information that we might be in better health and function as we should. I am 88, female, and am looking forward to more improvements. Glory to God. Jacky
I've tried MMS several times but it upsets my stomach. Finally I made CDS according to the protocol of Dr. Andreas Kalcker. It takes 2 days but it really easy. Pour the solution into a brown glass bottle and refrigerate and it keeps forever. We dilute a tsp of the CDS solution into 500 ml of water and take as often as needed for colds, infection etc. Very much easier than MMS!
"taking 99.95% dmso orally, a teaspoon per day in the morning"
can I assume . . . WITH a glass of water though? Not straight, right?
Correct! Many put it in orange juice. I put mine in cold peppermint tea. And I put exactly 1 drop in my new puppy's food.
OK, tried that. REally yucky. Next tried it in some tea with lemon juice, better.
BUT!
Holy cow, my wife can smell it ON me and she has a good nose. This part may be the toughest!
How long, days, months should I consider using this to expect some sort of positive effect, any idea?
Oh dear. Yes, sorry to say some are especially sensitive to the odour. I had very noticeable improvements after just 5 days. I now only take it from time to time as I feel I need it. But it is now a permanent fixture in the medicine cabinet. Would not be without it.
5 days!
no problemo. She can handle that, I think?
After working outside and sweating today, not sure if I can . . . whew!
It's bad when a fox smells his own hole.
i don't know know, but parsley stops bad breath for real garlic. i would try that, and also maybe vitamin A. your garlic breath might disappear.
thanks jane, I will try and see if that works. No parsley in the house today. . .
parsley and vitamin A help with regular garlic odor, may help with dmso
Is that a teaspoonful of DMSO on its' own or in another product (like orange juice)
I put it into my morning drink - namely peppermint tea in my case. But I trust the water supply here. Orange juice is good!
Thanks, I use a small amount of orange juice.
Is there any chance you would be willing to write a long comment/post for me about your experiences working with DMSO?
I am thrilled that you read and pinned my text doctor MWD. The complicated world of today requires an uncertain balance between reserve and 'getting a topic out'. I took a gamble with your Substack (I read all of MWD postings) and it payed off.
Thank you for that !
'Yes' to writing for your Substack on practical experiences with Dmso.
I would be most happy to write about anything Dmso, with exception the last topic above.
For that could you provide me with a 'side lobe' communication to your substack specifically for that topic ?
On that topic I can mention for now that I have accepted to present at Frontiers 8 annual IAOH Ozone conference Nov. 08 in Charleston S.C. This will be the first time I will have presented this topic.
Thank you! I have a large background with Ozone, and I've essentially just not written about it here yet because it was more well known (compared to UVBI or DMSO).
Regarding DMSO: basically, what would help me is a summary of all your clinical experience with it as there are very few DMSO doctors now. That could include elaborating on what you wrote above, or going into a lot more. Similarly, if you do a rough cut at it, I could ask a few questions and point out areas for you to elaborate. I really want to get the DMSO topic into public awareness, so I've been quite methodical on how I've delved into it, but as I'm sure you know, there's a lot I still have not touched. I also am not as familiar with the spanish literature (which I'm guessing you are) so there are probably some critical studies you know of that I do not.
Beyond that though, having a real named doctor who is currently practicing with IV DMSO and getting results with it will do a lot to cement the credibility of this, and I am relatively sure if it's put together correctly, a lot of people will want to fly out to your clinic, which in turn will advance my goal of bringing more awareness to this topic and make more people in the USA want to offer it.
If you have a few minutes today (it is 2:45 pm now in Ecuador) I do well in verbal communication at first. If you have time..........
Could be at 5 pm today Central time.
WhatsApp number would be +593958888109. Or a l.d. call 011-5939-058888109. should be the sequence for the landline here.
Or if fails 011-5939-958888109. email also. lance@waldos.org.ec
I’m looking for a dmso protocol for treating my Dupuytrens contracture, both little fingers. Have had several needle procedure and one xiaflex injection. Each time had recurrence. I’ve purchased Amazon “Nature’s gift” DMSO in glass bottle and magnesium chloride oil “organic magnesium.com” also in glass bottle.
Pinned your comment too.
Has DMSO been used to treat Autism with good results? If so, please provide specific information. Thank you.
Dr. Robert Yoho has some good info on helping autism with MMS aka CDS/chlorine dioxide, a superstar like DMSO. He has 2 interviews with Kerri Rivera who has had much success with autism and that product.
Link to his substack here:

Some people have seen good results with zeolite for autism personally I think the best brand is Meagmin activ though I have seen numerous review on amazon on different brands that it helped for autism in terms of learning new words and social skills
Thank you for your very helpful post. So the plastic used for catheters is okay for DMSO? What about the commonly available 60cc syringes? I have used such a syringe to inject Chinese herbs through a catheter to treat prostate issues and have been wondering whether to risk using DMSO. And if DMSO, in what dilution?
This was a comment I received from a reader:
I've used topical DMSO for prostate issues and aches and pains with success. Can't advise this, but ingesting it reduced my abdominal distension in the upper GI. It's a double-edged sword and can be irritating and relieving at the same time if too strong. It seems to be useful for painful cancerous tumors, and given its anticancer properties and IV use in cancer treatment, I believe topical DMSO is a good add-on cancer treatment. It can also be instilled into the bladder or urethra for interstitial cystitis or prostate issue, and there is in fact a method of doing this without a catheter. Prostate can also be targeted with rectal DMSO. DMSO and magnesium oil (magnesium chloride) make a killer combo topical. Hyaluronic acid powder can be used to add viscosity and turn it into a gel. Hyaluronic acid takes a day to gel in water, but it instantly disperses in pure DMSO. Then if you add water, it immediately forms a usable gel, albeit not yet perfect. Topical DMSO is tolerated without skin side effects usually up to 70%. There is some literature on systemic reactions, so I would always do a sensitivity test before diving in. There is a supplier of low-odor DMSO which I have found does in fact smell less.

This was a note I received from a supporter of this newsletter:
I used a DSMO gel on my lower right jaw bone. I had a painful infected molar. They said I needed a root canal. In one day the pain was gone. I kept up the treatment, a minuscule amount of gel on my jaw twice a day for 4 days. The infection vanished. I had impaired blood flow due to myocarditis. The DSMO gel improved my shortness of breath.
I received this comment from a reader:
Your articles are a blessing to me. I'm post spine surgery #16...10+ fractures, 4 fusions, nerve transfers...6 discs going bad...AS, parathyroid tumor, now gone, (long undiagnosed)...and today, I was utterly miserable. Read your articles, and remembered I have a jar of the DMSO gel. Put it on an hour ago...it's working. God bless you! Words cannot explain the hope I now have.

Grateful ol gal here reading these comments after reading the publication MWD! Thank you isn’t enough for folks such as yourself that get this live saving, in depth, information out!
After reading some of the horrific health issues so many have endured, I feel a bit guilty for even commenting and asking……however, I’m a 56 year old woman that was diagnosed at the UC Davis Pain Clinic 20 years ago with Myofascial Pain Syndrome. It irks me when I’m thrown into the Fibromyalgia vat, but that’s beside the point. A long laundry list includes, hypothyroidism, Degenerative Disc Disease that’s so far resulted in lumbar fusion. Currently another disc is bulging and a disc in the neck for the first as well. Bone on bone left knee that’s had meniscus removal and I’m desperately trying to avoid a replacement! My back surgery was a living nightmare despite a truly good surgeon that did a good job. Due to the nature of the discs bulging, one almost bursting through the abdominal wall…I was opened up on both sides however. . It was the pain. Being on opioids for years, my pain could NOT be resolved. Screamed for hours, days actually, the O.R. nurse in tears that stayed well past her shift fearing she’d kill me from the literal elephant sized doses. They ran a central line in case…... I ultimately was in a rehab center for three weeks due to the pain. That was 2011 and through the years I’ve been able to live with a certain amount of pain in order to remain functional and lucid. I still take opioids but I’m far from pain free, nor do I expect to be, but I would love to completely stop them!
I take turmeric which has helped with some inflammation and I take a product called Heal and Soothe with some helpful enzymes, devils claw, rutin, and others I recently added topicals magnesium and vitamin D3.
If you’ve had someone with similar experiences, I’d be grateful to know how much to use, as well as, if it’d be better to take internally to deal with the inflammation of the fascia. I’d literally have to apply a topical from head to toe, so if I could avoid that aspect, it’d be great.
God bless you and God bless everyone here that’s dealing with so very much! My prayers are with all!
Start with a low dose then build up.
Thank you, I will try. I’m unsure why your message is just showing on my feed. Same as below.
I think maybe you should read all of Dr. John Sarno's books and Steve Ozanich too. Read all of these with an open mind and you may begin to experience what thousands have, no pain. WHEN YOU order his 3 books on Amazon, make sure you read all the reviews of those who bought and read the books with great successes. the best to you. You won't be the worst afflicted who has been helped.
Thank you for the recommendation! My feed is just showing me of these comments. Tech is infuriating at times! I’ve not heard of this author and I’ll most definitely seek it out! 🙏🏻
The best of luck and GOD BLESS YOU!
Joey.
TO joey.
DMSO for sure. And Natures Sunshine brand . PAIN KILLER. called "EIGHT". has helped us with bad k ee and neck pain..or other herbals with White Willow bark.
Am So sorry for you. Sounds beyond excruciating. I pray the Lord helps you find healing.
That’s so kind of you….thank you! I know people so much more than I and it’s that, that makes me feel badly for “complaining”. I think we’ve been somewhat conditioned by that word! My intention is never to complain, but in sharing my story, maybe helping someone else. It’s uplifting to hear of others healing or at least relief. I will most definitely be reading about this and the books mentioned! And yes! The Lord is my everything and all is temporary! I believe His return is in our lifetime! Soon! Thank you and bless you!🙏🏻
I received this comment from a physician who reads this newsletter:
Great article. Very useful. Actually reading this is making me interested in returning to doing more research and observation on a surgical topic- the first time since I retired from surgery a few years ago— but I am now interested to watch wound healing / skin graft taking/ ulcer healing with DMSO help. That being said, since you introduced your last article I have been using it with neurologically damaged patients , chronic pain, and patients with autoimmune diseases and at very first response the responses have been very positive- in line with the data you present. As I have explained the data you introduced me to patients and given them the option they are showing intense interest. I am excited to follow these outcomes.

Thank you once again AMD for a great article on the safety of DMSO. I ordered DMSO immediately after your first article appeared. I am now in the 4th week of testing DMSO for Parkinson's diseasr. I followed the recommended dosing schedule starting at 3.5g/day taken orally and scaling up to 14g. It soon became clear to me that this was too much as I had severe headache and brain fog, so I decided to take a break. On the second day of the break my Parkinson's symptoms almost disappeared and I felt better than I had felt for ages. The biggest improvement was in relief from bradykinesia. After being slow for the past years, I suddenly became Mr Speedy.
I was diagnosed with PD in 2018 and I'm not new to alternative therapies for PD that bring real benefit to patients so this came as no real surprise to me. I have been treating my PD with sulforaphane in a Broccoli Seed Tea (BST) that I created in 2020. Sulforaphane is a potent activator of the Nrf2 pathway that controls oxidative stress and improves mitochondrial function. BST is very effective in attenuating non-motor symptoms of PD, particularly constipation, brain fog, fatigue and urinary urgency, but it has little effect on motor symptoms. DMSO seems to be complementary to sulforaphane in that it attenuated motor symptoms. I suspect that sulforaphane does not easily cross the BBB whereas DMSO does. I am now dosing at 2g/day applied topically and doing well. At this dose I get minor brain fog for about one hour and the benefits of DMSO for the rest of the day. Once I am satisfied that I have a good idea of the dose range, benefits and any side effects, I will discuss how to go forward with the group of PD patients who currently use BST (about 50 worldwide). My intention is to try to define a protocol for a small number of n=1 tests by people in the BST group on the basis of self-experimentation in order to get a more representative idea of what DMSO can do for PD. I'll keep you posted of the progress.
I am so happy you did this!
Also, most of our experience with PD came from IV DMSO not oral, so I would very much appreciate knowing how that route works for you.
Starting next week, at least 3 Parkinson's patients will be testing DMSO either topically or orally. The timescale of the response I observed for DMSO is identical to that I had for sulforaphane 4 years ago on non-motor symptoms. This may indicate that similar mechanisms are involved. In terms of symptom response to DMSO, in these first 4 weeks, pain, speed and the range of movement were most improved, followed by stiffness. Tremor seems to take more time to respond but there are already subtle signs of improvement. I and my family have also noted improvements in a whole range of other symptoms: brighter facial expression, eye comfort (more irrigation), stronger voice, more energy, better left/right hand coordination (fewer typing errors when using computer keyboard) and improved handwriting. Most importantly, I have periods of feeling really good which were previously absent. I have no doubt that DMSO is doing something good.
You might also consider doing research on Methylene Blue . Dr. Mercola recently posted an article about this amazing product and it’s been used to help people with cognitive impairment plus many other applications.. I personally started taking it two weeks ago but it’s kind of early to see any difference on my overall health, I’m 59 and consider myself relatively healthy but I can attest that it helped with an UTI infection along with DMSO and Chlorine Dioxide. All this amazing remedies do no have any bad side effects and are easy to get and very inexpensive. I’m trying to be my own doctor since I don’t trust pharma and their white robes sellers.
troscriptions methylene blue was a game changer for me. Ive tried everything for years with no effect. No tests showed any issues, so there was nothing to treat making it a guessing game trying things. Now pain free after 1 month on MB but noticed changes after a few days initially!
Very interesting Regina! How do you take Methylene Blue, DMSO and Chorine Dioxide? Topically, orally and what are your doses for each of the three? Daily, weekly?
Read up on the contradictions of methylene blue if taking RSSIs. It can be toxic when combined.
Dave, we need an answer to Lulu's question.
Do you mean SSRIs or is RSSIs something different?
Could you share where you apply the DMSO topically for Parkinsons, and which product you use? We are looking to implement for my 82 year old father and starting from scratch with knowledge of DMSO, trying to procure as much guidance as possible. Thank you!
1 - 2 g orally or rubbed on the arms or legs. Pharmaceutical quality 99.9%
Can I ask where do you get it from? Thanks!
You can get DMSO 99% at most feed stores in the equine section.
You can get it on Amazon from 'The DMSO Store' (a US manufacturer that's recommended by MWD). 99.995% pure. It comes bottled in glass or non-reactive polymer (like the lid on the glass bottle). I prefer the plastic because it's less likely to break and about half the price of glass.
I bought directly from www.dsmostore.com. It was cheaper than through Amazon. I ordered the plastic bottles since it was cheaper, but they sent glass. Must have had a run on them from all the MWD articles. ;-)
typo above. I think this is what Debby meant: https://dmsostore.com/
Additionally, would oral application be beneficial in addition to topical?
This free book on Parkinson's looks interesting( https://pdrecovery.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2020-recovery-from-parkinson.pdf )and this is the website where its coming from https://pdrecovery.org/
Watch out for brands that will cause a mild, itching rash. I use one combined with vit E and aloe, with lavender or arnica sold on amazon.
You can try this w the DMSO
OptiMSM is a superior MSM made in Oregon. Retail suppliers are Kala / Jarrow / Doctors Best/ and others as found on Amazon etc. For serious conditions don't bother with the common horse and animal MSM. Jarrow has the best price on OptiMSM. ___________
You know that MSM is the internal (oral) way of taking DMSO. Buy the one kilo size Jarow OptiMSM powder. Take three times per day, one teaspoon to one level tablespoon. Take with Vitamin C is a must, so buy NOW FOODS 8oz of sodium ascorbate. Take 1/3 teaspoon sodium ascorbate with your each of the three doses of your OptiMSM__________ At Amazon check out the 2000+ reviews for the kilo size Jarrow OptiMSM_______ For more info ______ _____7000jump /at/ gmail_____ Or reply here and hope I see it
I would love to test this with my husband. I am a nurse. We have been using thiamine, which has worked well, but interested in this as it seems if you extra[plate what it does to spinal injuries etc, there could be a more curative component than just symptom relief. Also looking for a good practice t in the Omaha are who could possibly offer IV.
People like these have seen parkinsons symptoms lessened after using browns gas machines like the Aqua Cure.

Would love to find out more about your sulfuraphane tea as well.
I will be posting on that later in my thread "An Insider's Guide to Parkinson…"
You might also wish to visit my website which has all the information about Broccoli seed Tea. https://patientresearcher.com/
Do you have any current updates on how you are doing?
Still doing well. I recently tried ajusting the dose of DMSO upwards to 3 g per day. This seems to make me more exciteable and after a few days, my tremor increased and became almost permanent. After a one-day break, tremor went back to very low levels again. My upper limit for DMSO seems to be about 2g.
Thank you so much for the update! Greatly appreciate the insights and your sharing - am starting my dad at 1/4 tsp tomorrow (I think that equates to 1.5 g). One question - are you taking your PD meds as well?
I am currently experiencing significant fluctuations in stiffness. I will update you when I have consistent results at a stable dose.
I can confirm a definite trend in improvements in motor symptoms of Parkinson's, including tremor, after only 6 weeks of using DMSO. At the same time I find it very hard to quantify that result since it is not at all constant. At the dose I am using, 1.5 ml per day, taken orally, my sleep quality has become much worse and that clearly has a negative effect on tremor. Even at this low dose, if I deliberately omit a dose, the next day I feel better. Does this mean that the dose is still too high, or is the frequency too high? When using sulforaphane in Broccoli seed tea, we came to the conclusion that, in the long term, a dosing frequncy of twice per week gave much better results than dosing daily.
MWD, is there any evidence from studies on other conditions or are there any mechanistic arguments in favor of such a dosing frequency?
just read some articles showing ivermectin and fenbendazole are improving parkinsons/alzheimers and other neurological conditions ... I really am starting to wonder if parasites are a main culprit to a lot of diseases, we deworm our pets monthly right? why not ourselves?
Can you share where you read this info?
How are your stiffness fluctuations doing?
I thought these (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3762356/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4828997/) two studies might be interesting for you, in short, they say that intramuscular injections of thiamin along with small amounts of b vitamins led to a significant improvement of motor and non-motor symptoms of the patients with PD; this improvement was stable during time and without side effects. Quoting the study here: "The absence of blood thiamine deficiency and the efficacy of high-dose thiamine in our patients suggest that the symptoms of PD are the manifestation of a thiamine deficiency likely due to a dysfunction of the active transport of thiamine inside the cells or due to structural enzymatic abnormalities. In other words, we believe that the motor and non-motor symptoms of PD could derive from a chronic thiamine deficiency which is composed by:
Severe focal thiamine deficiency that could determine a progressive dysfunction and selective neuronal loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta and in other centres that are typically hit in this disease.
Mild thiamine deficiency in all other cells that could lead the cells to a suffering state and the presence of fatigue. Fatigue could be the true systemic symptom of the disease. In our opinion, the primary cause of PD is less expressed in all other cells where the disease determines a mild thiamine deficiency that causes fatigue and related disorders.
Another thing you might consider trying is the EE system. You can look at https://www.unifydhealing.com/testimonials and search the word "Parkinson." People claim that they have seen drastic improvements in their Parkinson's symptoms.
I will be helping a friend from church to begin using the sulforaphane and DMSO applied topically. She is very advanced, I hope she can experience some relief of symptoms. Would you recommend lowering of any of the regular Parkinson's meds for her prior to taking the supplements?
I asked my Father to try chewing nicotine gum to soothe his tremor based on research by Dr. Bryan Ardis. He started with 2 mg and his tremor stopped unless he was holding something. Then, he went to 4 mg, and he can now hold a spoon filled with cereal and milk without spilling it before it gets to his mouth. Has anyone else tried this?
I have now passed the two month mark for testing DMSO for Parkinson's and I am beginning to see things more clearly. However, before I report on DMSO, I would like to clarify my position as a research scientist and my history as a Person with Parkinson's.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2018 at the age of 76. I soon realised that the so-called Gold standard therapy for PD was purely symptomatic i.e. it helped considerably with some (motor) symptoms but did nothing to slow down the progression of the disease. My professional research career had been in structural chemistry, so I decided to look into the chemistry rather than the neurology of the disease. This turned out to be a good choice because the very early stages of PD (up to 20 years before people are diagnosed, but also continuing throughout the disease), are associated with a chemical disorder occurring inside peripheral cells and neurons. This chemical disorder, called oxidative stress, damages cell membranes and mitochondria. It leads to the progressive destruction of a class of neurons that make dopamine and creates a shortage of this neurotransmitter in parts of the brain that control movement. The neurological symptoms which define PD (slowness, rigidity, postural stoop and tremor), only appear after the network of dopamine neurons has been so severely disrupted that some parts of the brain cannot function properly.
It turns out that it is much easier and quicker to fix the faulty chemistry than it is to repair the damaged neuron network. To cut a long story short, I set out to fix the faulty chemistry of my own disease by making a product that I hoped would stimulate the body's own internal mechanism (called the Nrf2 pathway) that normally controls excessive oxidative stress, but which appears to underperform for People with Parkinson's. That product was a beverage (Broccoli Seed Tea) containing a bioactive substance called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane has certain chemical similarities to DMSO in that they both have the same S=O group, but I suspected that DMSO might be able to get into the brain and stimulate the Nrf2 mechanism there, more easily than sulforaphane.
It turns out that sulforaphane is extremely good at controlling non-motor symptoms of PD, including constipation, fatigue, urinary urgency, balance issues, poor sleep and apathy. These can be very strongly attenuated, even totally suppressed in about 6 weeks by Broccoli Seed Tea, whereas motor symptoms (slowness, rigidity, tremor and postural stoop) are unaffected over the same timescale. There are even signs that, at high doses, or at the beginning of treatment, sulforaphane can cause an over-excited state (people say they feel "wired"), accompanied by an increase in tremor in the short term. I have been using various home-made sulforaphane products to control my own PD since 2020. In 2022, I introduced a very much improved version of Broccoli Seed Tea containing fully bioavailable sulforaphane that has been in use ever since.
Consequently, I am not the typical Parkinson's patient for testing DMSO, since I no longer have any non-motor symptoms, but I still have the full range of motor symptoms. This would seem to indicate that, in my case, the faulty chemistry has been largely brought under control by sulforaphane, especially in peripheral organs, but the damaged neuron network has not been repaired.
I began testing DMSO two weeks after stopping treatment with Sulforaphane. As indicated in previous documents, I began with an oral dose of 3.5 g and progressively increased the dose up to 20 g. At this dose I suffered severe pain, brain fog and headache which caused me to stop DMSO altogether. Two days after stopping, all my Parkinson's symptoms and pain disappeared entirely. Slowness became speed, rigidity became flexibility, postural stoop straightened out, tremor disappeared and my face was transformed. People around me said that I had never looked so good in a long time. Clearly, something good was happening. It only lasted a few days, but it was quite unforgettable.
Since then I have been trying to find the best dose of DMSO to treat my particular brand of Parkinson's (after 4 years of sulforaphane treatment). It is quite clear that DMSO does something in the brain that sulforaphane does not. DMSO affects motor symptoms of PD whereas sulforaphane attenuates non-motor symptoms. I cannot comment on whether DMSO might affect non-motor symptoms, because, apart from pain, I no longer have any.
Some interesting details have come to my attention, but remember, these might only apply to my case which is untypical.
- The best daily oral dose (for me) seems to be in the range 0.75 to 1.0 g, but I still need to explore lower doses over a longer period.
- There may be a case to explore dosing DMSO once or twice per week instead of once per day. I always feel my best the day after I stop DMSO.
- The order of improvement of non-motor symptoms (most improved first) is: slowness, stiffness, postural stoop, tremor.
- Nearly all pain and dystonia disappeared.
- Cramps were very much reduced.
- Eye irrigation improved. No more dry eyes in the morning.
- Urinary comfort and flow was much improved. Nocturia frequency was reduced.
At a daily dose above 1.5 g (tested several times), DMSO generated the following adverse effects:
- Slowness remained stable, but stiffness and postural stoop were much aggravated.
- I felt over-excited (wired).
- Tremors became constant and uncontrollable.
- Sleep became very erratic.
- Violent cramps came back in both legs, simultaneously.
- I suffered considerable pain in my knee, ankle and wrist joints. My knees were swollen and I could barely walk.
- Muscle strength, especially in the legs, declined considerably. Moving from a sitting to a standing position became very difficult.
All of these adverse effects disappeared within 2 days of stopping DMSO.
I do not have an explanation for the adverse effects. I hope "The Midwestern Doctor" will be able to enlighten me.
The most simple answer I can give is that the body often responds much better to pulsed dosing (e.g., every other day) than daily, and that more of something isn't always better.
I agree, less is better and pulsed dosing, once or twice per week, works best for sulforaphane. This fits in with the observation that the antioxidant enzymes expressed by Nrf2 have a half-life of a few days. I am not yet convinced that DMSO is activating Nrf2, rather that migjt be having a different effect on the brain network, such as exciting certain neuron pathways or overriding their inormal inhibition.
Do you have an idea what might be the cause of weak and swollen knees, weak ankles and muscle weakness at daily doses of DMSO above 1.5g. This reaction was perfectly reproducible and reversible. It felt more like a nerve signaling problem, a fault or weakness in the signals sent to the muscles and joints rather than an actual physical problem of the joints and muscles. At one point it felt like sciatica, the pain was similar, but it went away completely the day after I stopped DMSO. Could too much DMSO be affecting the myelin protection of the main Axon of DA neurons ? Just thinking out loud, not a hypothesis.
This is a helpful post, Patient Researcher. I have a friend who’s using DMSO topically, but is considering oral dosing since getting no relief. We will discuss a reduced, pulsed dose.
20 g is a lot
Going to start my PD dad on DMSO. Any things to consider if on PD meds carbidopa-levodopa and trihexyphenidyl? Have been doing methylene blue and other supplements as well.
So you have found it better to apply DMSO topically rather than orally? I have PD, but am very sensitive to things in general - I tried LDN and couldn't at all tolerate it.
Do you think mixing Sulforaphane with DMSO would allow it greater power? I read once that a lot of L-dopa medications that didn't seem to work started working once they were combined with DMSO.
In order not to compromise the validity of the current experiment with DMSO I have specifically chosen not to mix DMSO with sulforaphane. That said, it is not impossible that DMSO could help transport sulforaphane across the BBB more easily. Proving that would be another question altogether.
Thank you for continuing to update your experience, Patient Researcher. It's very helpful to many of us. I especially appreciate your commitment to your current experiment before beginning another. Ultimately, I hope you find the magic bullet.
Have any of you reading this considered the possibility that Lyme Disease could be the origin of your Parkinson's? I have read and researched Lyme so much that I seem to find it under every rock and every autoimmune / neuro problem. Treatment with a 21-day course of ivermectin (12mg) has benefitted many. Your thoughts?
Hello Stephanie,
I have tried various oral dose regimens of DMSO for Parkinson's and each time I come back to the same dose range: 1.2 - 1.5 g per day. I had some bad sleep issues for a while, but I now realise that DMSO was not the cause.
Once the sleep issues were resolved, I find the same improvements as reported earlier.
After 7 weeks experimentation:
Pain of all kinds reduced by 80%,
Distonia and cramps reduced by 80%
Bradykinesia nonexistent
Stiffness down by 50%
Tremor comes and goes, but doesn't bother me as much as before because it is now painless, whereas before DMSO it was painful.
Fatigue mostly absent and there's usually a good reason for the occasional spells of fatigue.
Energy levels very high.
For those interested in other aspects of Parkinson's, my first Substack posts are now up and running. An Insider's Guide to Parkinson's
https://albertwright.substack.com/
Patient Researcher - I subscribed to your Substack as well. Am looking forward to everything you are working on. Thank you for providing this information and updating us on your journey, it is incredibly helpful and appreciated.
An observation: On Oct 30, you stated dosing 1.5 ml per day. Here you state 1.2-1.5g per day. I'm familiar with the metric system and understand that the two units are generally interchangeable when working with water-based liquids.
Suggestion: For those who are not, consider using the same units in your trials. Weight is far more accurate than volume measure. 1g DMSO=1.1g water so it's close enough. Personally, unless you have a small, fractional gram scale, I'd consider using drops for something this small.
Googling: 20 drops~1ml.
Good info. Please continue posting your trial observations and results. It means a lot to many.
Drops per ml is a variable based upon the dropper in use. I have glass droppers. 1 gives 20 drops per ml. The other gives 40 drops per ml. I believe this is due to the exit diameter of the dropper.
Thank you for the update! Wonderful to hear you are doing so well. Are you currently on PD meds as well? Or did you taper off of those?
Thank you MWD for all of this useful information. I’m not too familiar with the Substack format so thought I’d ask for your input using dmso on varicose veins. I apologize if this has already been asked, I can’t find it if so. I have very thick, bulbous Varicose veins on my left upper calf and been using the dmso topically on them for around 2 weeks now. I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but they are definitely decreasing in size each day, and they’re no longer painful. I can stand on my legs for long periods without the heaviness and pain I had before. Also, there’s some bruising around my ankle due to the veins and pressure, and those are also fading. I am so happy with these little results that I’m noticing and excited to keep up the dmso treatment. I’d love your thoughts on whether topical is the correct way to continue or should I start taking internal as well? These things have been an issue since my 20’s I’m now in my 50’s, but have heard a few horror stories about surgery and so I never had them removed. Thank you again for this treasure trove of information you’ve provided us thus far, I’m excited to keep reading!

I had a stab phlebotomy done several years ago, which went well and was successful…..until it wasn’t. I now have new varicose veins😒 I’m excited to give the DMSO a try.
Dear Dr AMD
Thanks for the DMSO series..I am amazed by your tenacity. I am sure you were sitting long hours on your research.. do take care health wise!! Nothing is worth that..
The Sanskrit word for Tree is Vriksha.. or Vriksham.
Tree stands tall moving straight up towards light a sign of positivity & with its feet inside earth and rest exposed to sun, a perfect example of good health…
We were taught to assimilate certain qualities from them.. like they can’t run away from danger..but face and adapt. I am sure the Tree uses DMSO to repair themselves ..so how can it be dangerous.
My grandmother lived with me till 101. When she stopped moving and was on her death bed she started developing bedsores. We cleaned her back and applied 80% DMSO and her skin became normal in just a matter of days… at 101. Talk about miracles & with five doctors in the family not being able to comprehend!!
Your Substacks are not just about health its much more…. Its about life and meaningful living!!
Saddest part is you have to do this incognito.. & we claim we are liberated, free, progressed and evolved… funny!!
Wish I could meet you sometime in my life.. maybe whenever you are in India..
My Pranams to you Dr. AMD
I had nurses RN was a CNA back then tell me use the DSMO or colital silver on the bed sores down to the bone. The administrator asked who did this we are loosing medicare funding by not having the bed sores and a clinitron bed. We said we didn't know the patient and family were very happy no more bed scores after trip to the hospital. We cared about the patient well being not the money.
It's odor from skin and clothes, not breath. I don't know about the "reductive stress" thing, I just know that after 3.5 years of 'long COVID" involving Hashimoto's and EBV, I have finally beaten both the fatigue and the auto-immune disease and I have regained my strength (used to be a competitive double century cyclist so that is no small claim).
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-revolutionizes-skin-care-and/comment/79682099
I'm sorry I wasn't clear, there is a followup comment I made that clarified.
In brief, I do not credit DMSO for curing Hashimoto's. That happened a year prior when everything started feeling right again and the TPO antibody levels got cut in half. While a major improvement, I did not regain my former strength, not even close.
HOWEVER, since I have started using DMSO, I have regained all my former strength back and I can do my 1000 kCal ride now and feel fine. Perhaps it is a coincidence and perhaps not. But it wasn't until after I started the DMSO that I felt the energy surge. Examples of what I expect to be able to do for excercise:
https://windinmyface.com/autoTopic.html?dglyTP=hard%20core
To put it into numbers, I have a lab grade power meter on my bike. I was languishing at 140-160 watts most of this year and with no vigor. After DMSO, power has surged to the 180-200W range, which is where my out of shape body should be at nearly 60 years old.
I have been applying mainly to feet and upper legs and lower legs as these areas seem to react the least to its irritating effects (I use the 99.995% stuff). It allows me to get more into my system by using those areas.

Runner and walker here 4mi every day rain, snow etc. I don't miss a day ever, 68 years old. I have arthritis everywhere and FM too. I have been reading all on Substack, thank you for sharing all that you do. I put DMSO 99% on feet and especially toes as they are numb at 2mi mark. Today I am praying that I don't feel that at all after a week of the miracle medicine. God bless you A Midwestern Dr.
I received this comment from a reader:
I really admire your work AMD! I hope that one day we live in a culture where heroes like yourself can share information with out masks or fear of being criminalized, de-platformed or de-licensed. Since your first post on DMSO, I have spent a great deal of time researching the subject and have a few anecdotes to report.
I have had a large lipoma (fatty tumor) on my arm for many years. It was about 50mm in size (or about the diameter of an egg for your American audience). I used a topical application of 50% DMSO plus curcumin & ginger. I have been applying the DMSO to the lipoma 2-3x a day for less than a week and the tumor has already shrunk to 12mm (the size of a blueberry).
My wife has had pretty severe knee pain since injuring it 15 months ago. After explaining to her what DMSO was, I applied the same DMSO+curcumin mixture to both sides of her knee. She reported that it relieved her pain even before I finished massaging it in. The following day I asked if gave her a few hours of relief. To which she said, "no". I was a little disappointed, until she smirked back "it wasn't a couple of hours, it hasn't hurt since".
EDIT: had the wrong comment link in.

I make 40ml at a time for a dropper bottle. I like to make a light gel, just enough xanthum gum that it doesn’t run. I mix larger batches of xanthum gum and distilled water separately. (To gel properly it needs to be boiled and you don’t want the heat breaking down the DMSO or curcumin.) I create a 50:50 mixture of gel (or distilled water) and DMSO. The DMSO will thin the gel. Then I add 2000-3000mg of curcumin. If you are fair skinned and you plan on using it anywhere it will be visible, I’d use less, like 500mg. I like to use pure curcumin powder because the capsules have fillers. But if you already have curcumin capsules and it doesn’t have too much other junk, you can use that. It really does stain, so start out light with the curcumin. You can always add more.

If you (or the reader you quoted, if he have a Substack) care to address philosophy and ethics in a Substack, perhaps you could mention Exodus 23:2 "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil". IMO it should be the eleventh commandment. (Eleven is a sacred number in Hinduism. That became ten in Mosaism because the Hebrews were less astrologically sophisticated.) Paul Craig Roberts calls the complicity, neglect of this commandment caused, "insouciance". But the SCOTUS banned schools displaying even the standard Ten Commandments! https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/449/39/
I would love to learn the exact recipe, as I have a large fatty lipoma on my neck I would like to eliminate or reduce.
I put the wrong link to the comment in and just fixed that.
"You go out of your way to avoid bias and don't promote specific products. I have been dealing with chronic neck and lower back pain for over 10 years and tried so many treatments with little success. I tried DMSO and it stopped about 90% of the pain in less than a half hour...I literally started laughing because I couldn't believe it!"
[from a supporter of this newsletter]
That is one beautiful, comprehensive compilation of facts MWD. One of the points you made has triggered an original thought about DMSO being used to POTENTIALLY defuse the spike protein...I mention this because a long while ago, I read that DMSO acts as "a protein folding chaperone". The foreign protein injection (Covid vaxx) will (I believe) cause protein misfolding, then aggregating as amyloid plaque...which is one thing that DMSO seems likely to prevent...I have no proof, only a God-given brain to perceive the possibility. Perhaps you may have considered this possibility and have a way to prove it...imagine the uproar...disabling the murderous cartel's spike self-replicating death jab using DMSO...We just love you, Midwestern Doctor...phenomenal work you have done. P.s. I have another (historic) DMSO miracle to share...I am a retired Professional Fire Fighter, a tradesman, with skills across a very wide cross-section, many of which involve the use of extreme heat application, and as you may expect, have experienced severe burns on occasion. I mention here only one instance...about 10 years ago, a third degree burn to the pad of the index finger on the left hand...it was a dreadful burn...the skin was destroyed well into the flesh...I dipped the finger multiple times for several days in 99.999% DMSO, and gradually, from perimeter toward center, over two weeks, the pad of the finger was totally healed, pink, normal capillary refill, no pain, and perfect fingerprint still there. I am still in awe, that DMSO works so well with the human body to enable healing on such a dramatic scale. Praise God. (Also, I can now report that My wife is now back on her feet, after 10 days post injury...DMSO at 75% (25% distilled water) applied topically to the lower back 3-4 times per day...after about 6-7 days, she noticed a little tingling in the skin...I believe the tingling to be an indication that the treatment is working, as it should, healing damaged tissue and removing inflamation...allowing subtle chiropractic adjustments to be made, and achieving success... Thanks to all those who prayed for her, and offered help...she and I are both grateful.
Thank you!
Hi David, according to Dr. Bryan Ardis [www.thedrardisshow.com], nicotine is a nutrient and will rid your body of the spike proteins. Consider a patch-- he discusses dosages being a 2 mg of 3 mg patch. He favors the Rugby brand.
He quotes a study showing that the spike proteins of COVID-19 are nearly identical to those of two snake venoms which bind to the body's nicotine receptors. Using nicotine patches will unbind the venom which results in health!
In one study he discusses that 7 mg nicotine patches were given to multiple Long-Haul COVID-19 sufferers who were asked to wear it for six days straight.
The result?
100% of their symptom disappeared.
I'd first recomend his video, "The Explosive Truth, Origin, and Antidote for C19" at his site which will blow you away. His new book came out the last week of September and is sold out on Amazon! But you can order it from his site.
Also consider his PDF on nicotine (in the Resources section) and watch his 3-hour expose on nicotine.
Good luck to you, David.
Nicotine is the key! Most of us eat it anyways in tomatoes, eggplant.... Dr Ardis and Healing for the Ages group are the best of the best!! Im new to MWD, but becoming very interested. So thankful for all of the information.
I'm very curious about nicotine -- the Native Americans used tobacco (and taught the cowboys to use it, too) for snakebites, because apparently it is far more attracted to the Ae2 (?) receptor site than snake venom (and thus the spike protein) and nicotine supposedly kicks the spike protein out of the receptor site, according to Ardis. I also watched another researcher's video of the spike protein in a Petri dish under a microscope when nicotine was introduced and it absolutely destroyed the spike protein -- very convincing (in a dish)! Native Americans also used tobacco in other healing efforts -- and of course, in their peace pipes; they considered it a sacred herb.
However, I think the Harvard meta-analysis is hooey and probably purposely so (who trusts anything out of Harvard these days?). As a former smoker (20 years clean), I quickly went from 2 mgs/day to 20 mags/day! Not because I was afraid of the spike protein at that dose, but because it seems to work wonders for my brain fog and fatigue due to "long-Covid" (never vaxxed, but shed upon). I did quit chewing the gum for 2 weeks, but my brain fog returned full force. I'm now down to 14 mgs/day and doing a natural, comprehensive, 5 month brain detox program. I'm only a week into it , so I'm going on hope alone at this point.
Thank you so much Greg, I will check this out. I have heard some tidbits about nicotine patches, all good, but this is the first detailed information I've received. Thank you.
You're welcome, David. Let us know (if you want) how you made out.
On the downside they all have a two pack a day habit now 😛
Dr. Ardis cites a 2015 Harvard study showing that the addictive ingredient in tobacco are the pyrazines the companies add, not nicotine. We've been lied to about nicotine, as it is found in the nightshade vegetables, etc. Very few smokers got sick with COVID-19! Now we know why.
😂 new smoking habit comment..
More on this for organophosphate poisoning in one of the articles here too.

My mom cured most of her post-Covid loss of smell by taking nicotine! She took it as you advise, 2-3mg patch for 6 days.
My story is too long to type here. It would likely help to speak with someone to decipher what helped what, but I will attempt to summarize. I will tell my story if it will give hope to someone else that recovery is possible!
I am 48yrs old.
I was introduced to topical DMSO once in 1997 by a holistic doctor and remembered it working very well after a car accident.
I did not revisit it until 2022. I take it orally and use it topically now.
I have had health issues my whole life and was diagnosed with several debilitating autoimmune diseases. I allowed the allopathic industry to scare me into doing what they said, in an attempt to not become disabled, which eventually happened due to over prescribed prescription drugs and what I believed was irreversible disease processes.
The list of problems and diagnosis grew over 25 yrs. The ones that primarily altered my ability to function:
-Multiple TIA’s due to a factor 5 mutation
-Ankylosing Spondylosis
-Myasthenia Gravis (ocular & generalized)
-RSD which is now called CRPS
-29 fractures over 9 yr period resulted from polypharma, as there was not a disease process found to be the cause.
I was on 30 allopathic drugs when I started weaning myself off 4 yrs ago. I am very close to being off the last two prescriptions.
The drs would not/could not help me do this. They told me I would die and it was not possible. I was doomed to only get worse.
Diet and vitamin supplementation has played a vital role in my recovery. I would be remiss to leave out healing emotionally and spiritually as well.
This and then adding DMSO in 2022 changed everything and I pray this is only the beginning.
I am healthier now than I have been since 2006.
Until the last 10 months, I was hesitant to believe this was really working to reverse all the damage, but I can confidently say it is.
Since starting DMSO:
My brain is healing.
The brain fog is much less of an issue. Cognitive function is astronomically improved.
My muscles don’t fatigue like they use to.
My vision is almost back to normal.
Balance almost back to normal.
No threats of a Myasthenia crisis since starting DMSO.
I have not had another TIA even off of the Coumadin!
My joints are healing. I have not had a major fracture since 2019. I have not sprained anything since 2023.
Major joint inflammation is isolated to specific joints rather than everywhere and is intermittent not constant.
The pain is under control without the aid of medicine.
Neuropathy is much improved. I haven’t had a major episode from the CRPS since starting DMSO. When I can sense it returning I know what stops it. (To be honest, I still fear it’s return)
I can exercise again. I live alone again. I am becoming less reliant on assistance for balance and don’t fall any more. I could go on & on.
It is hard to believe this is real. It is hard to not worry this will be forever. But I am beyond hopeful for the future.
DMSO also treats myasthenia gravis
I am adding to my reply:
It appears that DMSO does help treat MG. I have not seen a study on it, but it makes sense.
I know I can increase my dosage, however, I don’t know how much.
I am one of those people that has the odor side effect, so I know I take a lot less than I can.
I haven’t met a doctor that uses it. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
Thank you for your articles on the subject, as it is no longer easy to find much of the included information.
Hi James. I'm so happy and hopeful by reading your story. I would like to know the dose of DMSO you're taking and how you take it, since the taste is terrible. Thank you.
As you are reading in the posts by AMD & all the comments, DMSO is used for different medical conditions. Nearly all stemming from uncontrolled inflammation, including cancer.
As I said in the comment immediately preceding this, I take it orally and use it topically for a few different medical issues that are due to both several autoimmune diseases and the consequences of the prescription drugs. I use less than most people here.
To find the route of administration & amount you need for a specific ailment I have used both the studies provided and many other resources as a guide. If science is to you what law is to me, get someone to help you decipher it all. You can start, as suggested in these posts, by trying a spot on your skin to see how you tolerate it.

https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/73bf25b2/files/uploaded/The-DMSO-Handbook-for-Doctors.pdf
I found "Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease":
https://djvu.online/file/PH6VdVXm0Q6uY?ysclid=mf9m5h0bmm496452506
It has a suffix of "djvu", which saves ok on my desktop, and opens ok in my pdf viewer "qpdfview". It is 258 pages long.
Can it be used orally in people who have had cataract surgery with intraocular lens implants?
Orally should not affect the lens in your eye…
The first pdf stops at pg 26?
Darn… If you search for the title, you will probably find one that has all the pages. I no longer have the link I used for the one I have, but I have all 258 pgs and I didn’t buy it.
i have said elsewhere that parsley prevents odor from real garlic, so maybe will help with dmso. Also vitamin A might help.
Jamie: thank you for this info .. I've downloaded the books & learned that a 40% DMSO eye drop holds promise for macular degeneration, which I have .. I found these drops @ https://dmso.store/product/40-dmso-eye-drops-in-saline-with-vitamin-c/ & intend to start using these drops + one teaspoon of 99.9% DMSO (which is widely available) to see if I can arrest my problem
Hi Steven, I just wanted to ask you if you have wet or dry macular degeneration? I have dry and have been using Wise Choice Medicine's drops and pills which have kept me from getting worse. However, I have an older friend who has the "wet" macular degeneration and has lost her central vision and cannot do the things she used to and has to have a care giver live with her. I'm just wondering if it is at all possible to reverse this kind? Have you heard any other testimonials that have tried DMSO and have improved. She can't read anymore so I'm doing the research for her. Actually I just received a bottle of DMSO but I don't know how to use it. I have many autoimmune conditions which are very challenging and now have been diagnosed with SIBO which is sooo hard to get rid of. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. Sherry
Sherry, just my opinion, but from all I've read, DMSO is not harmful even if you don't dilute it properly. I have glaucoma, my brother is 10 years older than me and is legally blind because of it. Even though I am maintaining eye pressure with drops, traditional medicine has no cure. So I have to force myself to try different things. Just today, I mixed saline (3ml) and dmso (2ml) in an empty 5 ml dropper bottle and tried it in both eyes. It stung a little for about 5 min, and then back to normal vision. My point is we have to take care of ourselves. Relying on doctors is ok, but they are not miracle workers. God is, so trust God and try things.
Just a thought: Saline is a mixture of sodium chloride and water. Sodium chloride is salt. Maybe distilled water would be less painful. Perhaps adding 1 drop of iodine, or 1 drop of Borax water could improve results... slowly increase strength.
How to make Borax water: 8oz/1 cup distilled water in a glass container, heat to 60 degrees C. Add 1/4 tsp Borax. Stir with stainless steel spoon till dissolved. Store in glass jar, or make fresh as needed.
Sherry, Dr. Wm. Davis has a book named 'Super Gut' that is highly informative and useful. You may find helpful results from the Lactobacillus reuteri recipe. The book has several recipes and many menu ideas. He specifically addresses SIBO. It has made a positive difference for me as I've been making and consuming daily the L. reuteri yogurt for well over a year now using his directions. I wouldn't want to be without it. Hope this helps.
How are you doing with those 40% drops? I got them too, but it's so painful to use them that I do it much less.
Cheryl: I've been reluctant to use them as I have artificial lenses (cataract surgery) & the DMSO may impact those lenses .. although I've seen several comments that they won't be affected .. in the meantime, I'm doing HBOT for this purpose .. there is ALOT of literature that supports HBOT for AMD & I've completed 10 "dives" and expect to do 20 or so & then assess the benefit
Did you drink it or rub it on?
I read everything but I'm not sure you were specific.
I'm coming out of it but I'm in the middle of post Lyme disease and autoimmune soup.
I have done both. If I have a specific area that is flared up I use topical. But neurological and systemic inflammation requires oral dosing.
If you use it topically and get relief, you will then want to take oral to feel even better!!!
I’m finally only on it as needed (Praise God)
I am a little late to this "party". I did a flyby read when this email came, and saved it, as I was busy finishing 6 lectures for the AHVMA meeting.
We studied DMSO for multiple things when I was in veterinary school, but the most compelling use was for brain trauma, as it was said to be much more effective than mannitol in reducing intracranial swelling. We used it on a "hit by car", resulting in head trauma, and other than stinking up the clinic, it was very effective. The down side, was that when she woke up, she was convinced that we were the villains, and always hated me. LOL
One of the veterinary professors, was looking at it for viruses in cats, and I have used it for decades as a topical anti-inflammatory. Some vets were using it for West Nile in horses, but I had developed a protocol with HEEL remedies, that worked well, so I never used it for that.
It has some interesting anticancer activity, and we have combined it with some complex homeopathics and thymus extract and seen some regression of topical tumors.
LOVE DMSO! Glad that you are reigniting some interest in it.
One caveat. DMSO is a byproduct of the wood pulp industry. Make sure you are using a medical grade, if at all possible. It will drive anything that's on your skin, into the matrix. That's a good thing, if it's Traumeel/ Zeel/ etc, but not so good if it's a toxin.

PS My stepdad and Grandfather were MDs, back when doctors were thinkers and healers. They would have been appalled at the state of medicine now.
"All we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us"
JRR Tolkien
Was the case you talked about a human or an animal?
The HBC (hit by car) was a pocket dog, a Pomeranian, if I recall. But, we have used the DMSO combinations on a host of creatures, including bipeds. It regressed a few suspicious looking lesions (one was likely to be a squamous cell carcinoma) on myself.
BTW, I have been mulling over the thought of using DMSO IV, for whatever they are calling "blood clots", post-jab. It is a remarkably good solvent. I haven't heard anyone else propose that, but as long as the concentration remains below 30%, or so, it is relatively safe. At higher doses, it will lyse blood cells.
Dear Sir,
Me thinks that your idea to dissolve the rubbery clots is an excellent one. If it works, it would traumatize the industry that developed the culprit jabs. Great thinking, even if it is non-effective, we need to be able to try different things. There are plenty of saved specimens in display bottles in labs and mortuaries with which to use as test samples.
I once had the wild idea that "conditioned" water might perform in a similar manner to dissolve kidney, bladder and gall stones over time. The thought was that the process which formed them (as evident in supply pipes and wherever water is allowed to evaporate and leave the inherent carbonates behind) might also be positively effected in a reverse manner, using "hungry" water such as conditioned or distilled. The plan was to see if I could get some "stones" from labs or hospitals, or vet clinics, and run the mentioned water past them for a long time, and then re-weigh a group to see if they were shrinking. Unfortunately, that was never pursued, but here is what WAS pursued: During that time, I was still plagued by a compressed disc low down, and upon having an x-ray, was shown in addition to the disc, that a bone spur was forming, giving the nagging, but not the disabling condition of the disc.
Then the thought was revisited about the distilled water and its potential to dissolve the calcium carbonate built spur. Ever since then, I have been drinking distilled with a 10 or less percent mix of purified well-water just for minerals. I also began to take Moringa powder caps to ensure of the minerals. And VIOLA! Within only a few weeks, I noticed a change. Within months, the nagging spur pain (which was not constant but sporadic) was non-existent! Even to this day, there is little thought about my back anymore. The disc issue also cleared up. That's quite novel, in my book. I thought I was slated to live with it until planted.
So your "clot thoughts" are wholly possible. Please attend to it, and find out by testing the test tube clots with your solvent. What a marvelous idea that is! I will add that to the prayer list.
Blessings to you and yours,
Ray
I wish I had access to some of those space occupying rubbery masses. I don't have any friends in the mortuary business. But, you are probably spot-on, as there are more than likely many of those specimens available.
Nice for you to share your story about dissolving the calc carb spur. There are probably many who would benefit from trying such a "no harm" strategy.
Would you recommend DMSO for ringbone? I have a senior draft mule .
I would try it. Might also try something like Zeel Ointment, and paint the DMSO over it.
Many thanks.
hubby has a blood clot where a pic line was removed. He just got home for another hospital stay and I am considering putting DMSO on the skin near the clot. hope it works.
Hello, I work in the vet industry and after reading the first AMD article on DMSO, asked my vets what they knew about DMSO as I wanted to try it on my 18-20year old diabetic kitty for her spondylosis and arthritis hips/neuropathy pain. They unfortunately did not know much about it, despite one of them growing up on a farm and having applied it on inflamed cow udders. Do you have any vet articles you can post here that I may be able to share with them? I feel we would be able to help so many kitties at my clinic with this substance.
I have done it on my own cats. It's completely slapdash but I applied 1ml/10lbs of bodyweight liquid DMSO 70/30 concentration directly onto the skin/over their fur to soak in on their back where they're less likely to get it off before it sets. They started meowing and running around like they were kittens again whereas before they were suffering from onset arthritis.
I'm told that dogs, who will sit still for such things, can have dmso just put on their paw while you hold it.
I would guess that there were some, back in the late 70's and early 80's, since we learned about it in vet school. I have not been down that rabbit hole recently, though I have some fairly well referenced data that is human centered. There are some research papers in those that were rat studies, but not much in pet animals.
Interestingly, I remember some Sixty Minutes or 20/20 "expose's" on DMSO around 1981, then it kind of fell off the radar.
Dr Broadfoot, Could you elaborate on your treatment of west Nile or encephalitis in horses? My vets know nothing but big pharma protocols or euthanasia. My horse has had bad colic reactions to vaccines, so I won’t vaccinate again. He’s 17 and a Lippit Morgan. I did watch a warm blood with Eastern Equine encephalitis be put down, and it is the ONE fear I have of not vaccinating my horse…
I did find the citation for the article I wrote for Explore, many years ago, but I have looked online, and I can't get the actual journal to come up. It may be MANY pages down in the search engine, but this is the original citation: West Nile Virus Wars © Copyright 2003 by P.J. Broadfoot, D.V.M., USA (Explore Issue: Volume 12, Number 4)
I also wrote one for another journal, but it is written in German.
The treatment is an autologous blood therapy, using complex homeopathics which have to be sourced outside of the USA. Aggravating, since we actually had very good results.
If you could find an integrative vet in your area, I could certainly share my articles and findings.
I have been reading your substack for about 18 months. Thank you for being courageous and speaking the truth about what's going on in the medical world. After reading your 3 posts about DMSO I ordered some (70% gel and liquid) and also got a book about DMSO and MSM and am now taking 3 grams of MSM daily (capsule) and just using the DMSO gel on my joints. I have a mild case of RA and I am hoping this will help. It's only been 2 weeks, so will know a lot more in a month or so. But early indicators are that both the DMSO and the MSM are helping with pain and swelling.
Thanks again for your time and energy to write this substack!
Hopefully you can sympathize with how much I've been aiming to do but also how far behind I still feel on the whole process!
Where do you get your supplies from please? I need to restock but havent found MSM from a reliable source.
Got the MSM from my local natural food store (I'm in Atlanta and it's called Nature's Pick). I also ordered some from Professional supplement center which was recommended by the book I read on MSM. Professionalsupplementcenter.con
https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/item00451/msm
Life Extension tests all of their supplements and the ones from other suppliers they carry. https://www.lifeextension.com/faq/quality-purity-efficacy#1
Another I have found that has good quality is bulk supplements: https://www.bulksupplements.com/search?q=MSM
Life Extension does not require a practitioner referral. I buy their supplements all the time. They also offer lab tests. They have a practitioner who will sign off on the lab tests, you just order it online.
But to get Life Extension products you have to be referred by a ‘practitioner’.
I have bought Life Extension without referral. I ordered on line. It was a few years ago, though.
Thank you!
I found a plastic jar of Opti MSM on Amazon and it’s much cheaper to buy bulk powder than capsules. I think mine was from Jarrow - they are reputable company. Check the *seller* of the product too, not just the brand name of the product, to ensure you’re getting a genuine product. The sellers themselves get rated and you can find great “stores” in the Amazon system that way. The manufacturing process for MSM can lead to contaminants in some MSM but the patented (or trademarked?) “Opti MSM” is the cleanest and safest I’ve found in my research. I just put the powder directly into water and it tastes terrible, but I simply don’t care that it tastes bad bec I care more about effective health outcomes and price than I do uncomfortable tastes.
DMSO Store on eBay
I I have ordered from Pure Encapsulations. Been using them for 25+ years. Clean products.
I ordered from Pure Encapsulations and have used this company for 25+ years. If that’s of interest to you.
I got some from Amazon, Gold Standard Organic Sulfur, which I started taking a few days ago. It's coarse, dissolves easily in hot water. A little bit spilled on my black counter and when it dried I saw very fine crystals left, which I believe means it is a good product.
Is t that what MSM is basically, Sulfur?
What is MSM?
Instead of capsules buy Jarrow MSM powder which is a superior form, and called OptiMSM. Three teaspoons daily if you want to move the needle. Take each dose with 1/3 teaspoon sodium ascorbate powder (form of vitamin C )............... More details in my previous post here.
Thank you for sharing. I have some mild arthritis too. I have been taking MSM for a short while and I think it has improved occasional discomfort in a few of my fingers. After reading your comment(and double checking the dosage) I realize I am not taking nearly enough. I am going to take more MSM for a while. Then I may add the DMSO if needed. Keep me posted on your progress. Your info has helped me. I appreciate it. 🤗
please keep us all posted!
Was the book useful ? If so can you share the title , author?
It's called The Miracle of MSM: The Natural solution for pain. By some of if the doctors who pioneered DMSO and MSM research. Very helpful.
Thanks. Do you know of any good books on using DMSO
The book on MSM has lots of information about DMSO. Dr Stanley Jacob is one of the authors and he is a pioneer in DMSO research.
Also
The DMSO Handbook a new paradigm in healthcare
Sharing some recent findings. I’ve had eye issues for about one year. Tried MMS and DMSO 20% and 40% strengths eye drop protocols but each time the issue would come back. I was told blufferitis was the issue or dry eye. My eyes had constant drainage that impacted my vision. Not until I took Dr. Mercola double strength Krill oil (omega 3) did I notice it finally clearing up. However, interestingly, I’ve taken omega 3 before and it did not do anything.
So whats interesting is along the same time I started the omega 3, I’ve been using the roller DMSO 99% grade described in an earlier post for a varicose vein on my leg. Getting great results. Not totally gone but no longer protracting and the color is fading. Well, the other night I had an onset of frozen shoulder. I know as I’ve had it 2x before. I took a heating pad to it, massaged it, added magnesium oil and DMSO. Shoulder turned red and blotchy which was a new side effect for me but heard the magnesium oil could help break down the calcification. Either way, the deep dull aching pain went away with in the next hour. 2 days later still no pain. By the way, my eyes are feeling fantastic. Wondering about the combo of omega 3 and DMSO.

I received this comment from a reader:
1st day and I’m sold! I applied castor oil then rolled DMSO on my knee this morning. The pain calmed down in about 45 minutes. It reignited about 4.5 hours later so I reapplied and the relief was immediate. I haven’t been this excited by any product with the exception of a fabulous leather balm I bought recently and I jokingly told my friends I was going to put it in my coffee (after having put it on the backs of my hands). The beauty of DMSO is that it can be ingested! Thanks AMD!!!

I received this comment from a reader:
My husband has damaged nerves in his leg and foot from a surgery 2 months ago. He has been in excruciating pain every day since and has tried different pain relief approaches to help relieve the pain and burning (those mostly didn't work). He has been using the DMSO 70/30 with aloe (little odour) for the last 3 days and has finally found some relief..it's like a miracle actually. Thank you so much MWD!! You mentioned in a previous comment that you are working on DMSO eye applications which is interesting b/c my vision is getting worse lately. I am looking forward to learning more as I have heard that castor oil can be helpful, but am skeptical. Thanks again and all the best!!
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-is-a-miraculous-therapy-for/comment/71446447
Would love to know more about vision too as mine needs help lately!
Several months ago, I listened to the Robert Yoho interview (on substack) with an 80 year old doing CD and DMSO. I realized why I dismissed it years ago and decided to try again. The secret is to add water. DMSO seeks H2O.
I bought a spendy 3 oz bottle from the health food store. Product is from www.dmsostore.com. Then I went to the farm supply and bought a more economical dmso gel formula for horses. This product is from Valhoma Corporation, Tulsa, OK www.dmso.com
I use the horse dmso gell on my face after washing. Within days I noticed how smooth my skin was. Then I started applying it all over my body after my shower. All little lumps bumps skintags disappeared after a month or so.
Now I’m trying the non gel, spendy health food store dmso mixed with filtered water in an eye wash. My eye exam a year ago indicated the beginning of a cataract in one eye. Well I’m not thrilled about eye surgery. Anyway….
No problems so far, and eyes feel good.
Having read Midwestern doctor, I’ll probably be experimenting more as soon I finish winterizing the homestead.
DMSO is often used for skin conditions (but haven't gotten to that one yet).
Can it help acne? I have tried everything for my two late teen children from antifungal cream, ivermectin cream, parasite cleanses, vitamins, diatomaceous earth, iodine- they eat extremely healthy-you name it I’ve done it. It’s torture not finding the answer for them! Anything you can offer would be golden to me!
I’m not a doctor I just think about it and experiment. Personally I’d apply Chlorine Dioxide to the skin first, then apply DMSO. Chlorine dioxide is am amazing disinfectant! Ive used it on burns and cuts. I Order from Safrax.
Hi there wanted to let you know that my daughter's severe acne was cleared by using a natural supplement called DIM...it is the natural compound found in cruciferous vegies. it was amazing. We had tried many things as well.
Take DIM at night as it causes some intense gas! May be embarrassing for a teen during the day, or epic who knows!
DIM is great for cystic acne! Also zinc soap and sulfur cleansers
DIM helped my adult acne too!
Thank you for this! I have heard on DIM. I wonder if males can take it as well? I will look into it. I have yet to try it. I thought I was onto something with the fungal cream for a bit with my daughter, but it just morphed to a different type and location of acne.
Acne, if I am right, is exacerbated by a hormonal imbalance. If there is a way to better regulate that imbalance naturally, then it might be that help would be soon coming.
Teens will almost assuredly have to go through it.
r
Work on improving their liver function. Personally, I’d use magnesium, milk thistle and ensure they have enough fat in their diets to trigger the gall bladder to dump at each meal.
What completely cured my acne as a child was a diet. When I recommended it to a friend he went from severe acne to clean face in two weeks. Diet involved avoiding all animal fat and fried food in general. Only lean meat, no pork. No cheese.
In retrospect, I speculate this might be certain AGEs, Advanced Glycation End-products that accumulate in the skin glands, triggering immune reactions. If so then butter and other animal fat may be ok when not heated to high temperature, but not cheese as it contains a lot of AGEs from the maturation process.
Thank you for this! Wonderful news for your friend! Both my children eat extremely healthy-never processed or fried, no seed oils, green smoothies with some fruit, no milk, never pork and all organic -we tried gluten free and didn’t make a difference. Thanks for your thoughts! I welcome anything!
Hi, this is a strange one but it worked for me with adult acne years ago and now works for my teen despite her initial reaction. We've also helped a few church friends with the suggestion to try it with astounding results. Egg yolk mask. Really. Daily for one week. The difference is stark. My daughter recently started adding a tiny bit of manuka honey to the egg yolk, and she noted that it preserves the one yolk longer then the usual 4 days she can use it (stored, covered, in the fridge). I have long guesses that the high vitamin A content of the yolk was a large part of it's success, but it's really amazing. I prefer to let it dry completely, but my daughter hates that, so she scrubs off after 5 minutes.
i know two people whose acne cleared when they avoided dairy
try keeping cellphones away from their face
Acne can be a sensitivity to dairy.
Try a lotion (or serum) with niacinamide (vit B3). This one for example.https://www.amazon.com/Niacinamide-Toner-breakouts-pores-3-4fl-oz/dp/B084LJX7FG You should see some results within 10 days of use... And put them on a diary-free diet, and no chocolate.... Good luck!
After reading your articles and doing some research I consulted with my daughter’s NP (this clinic is very familiar with your Substack) about using DMSO for her chronic skin condition called hidradenitis. There is little information on this condition. Main stream dermatologist have nothing to offer except medications or surgery that are detrimental and not effective. We have made a lot of changes that will help overall health but I needed something I could use during a flare. She had a flare in bikini area. I can describe it as a boil that can become painful. I decided to try the 50% dmso and iodine and put it on twice a day. For the first time the bump/boil/ hardness you could feel under skin started to decrease and soften. So I’m hopeful that this will help her. Look forward to reading more about dmso and skin conditions!
I have that too. If DMSO doesn’t work you can also try tea tree oil applied directly. You can also use oil of oregano applied with a carrier oil like olive oil. The tea tree oil stopped my flare up and dissolved it. But, I have used both in the past. Good luck!
Thank you for the suggestion. I will offer this to my daughter as well.
I have dissolved a cyst under the skin (on my flank area) with Lugols iodine. I applied it full strength on a cotton ball and taped it in place for 10 minutes - the solution causes a burning sensation after 10 minutes and that’s when I would pull it off. I did this about 3 times, several days apart. It seemed to be getting smaller, but then I forgot about it. When I next felt back there is was completely gone. Not a trace of anything, no skin discoloration at all. I also had a growth in my ear canal which the ENT said was like a whitehead. I treated it with the same solution on a cotton ball and rolled it til the tip would fit in my ear. I applied the Lugol’s iodine for several consecutive days, 10 minutes each time. It also fell off and came out and healed as if nothing was ever wrong. I’m a big believer in this stuff. Both my dermatologist and ENT said the only treatments were surgical removal.
What percentage Lugol's iodine did you use? I have the 2%.
Hi Michelle, my daughter (age 19) was also diagnosed with HS. She will not try DMSO because apparently, I don't smell so good (I use it for arthritis and used it for hemorrhoids). Did your daughter have any luck? Is it working? Does she only apply it externally? I drink it (about 3tsp per 10oz glass of water...3 times per day). I was just very interested to hear someone using it for HS.
Hi, after reading about dmso here I did a little more research and decided it was worth a try. I was desperate to find something we could use as treatment and to possibly prevent further flares that was safe. As you probably know the options for HS are not much help….there are side effect and recurrence is still a problem. We used it on a flare and it worked with in a few hours. We have been using it topically on areas where they usually appear. Right now she is only doing it topically. But orally might help so I’m not against trying that as well. I should add that I put iodine and then dmso on top. I am very hopeful.
Thanks for sharing this very helpful info. I am wondering if DMSO would be helpful with the fistulas under the skin (shrinking them or keeping them from flaring again)
And, would DMSO reduce the scar tissue from old inactive areas? Stage 4 hidradenitis suppurativa
That is my hope. It is supposed to help with scar tissue. I am using it over surgery she had that left scar tissue.
Hi, Michelle. Thanks so much. Hoping you had some success and wondering if you found good results from the DMSO on the scar tissue?
Hi Michelle, did DMSO help out the HS with your daughter? Soulminkey above linked to a B3 product (https://www.amazon.com/Niacinamide-Toner-breakouts-pores-3-4fl-oz/dp/B084LJX7FG) that might help.
Then, I'm trying to get my daughter to take B3 and zinc supplements based on this article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10264908/
But, I might suggest Soulminkey's product to my daughter. Maybe a "wash" would be easier than taking supplements.
A couple thoughts for you to consider -
1. Taking colloidal silver orally and applying topical silver creams/lotions could be helpful as the silver acts as an antibiotic. This site contains a number of articles on using silver, but here is an example, "Silver as an Amazing Antimicrobial Agent": https://honeycolony.com/article/antimicrobial-agent/
2. This website also has additional information: https://www.hs-foundation.org/
Thank you for this. Will definitely look into the silver as this may be a great option. We have been on hs website it has some good info but try to stay away from the traditional treatments.
I have dissolved a cyst under the skin (on my flank area) with Lugols iodine. I applied it full strength on a cotton ball and taped it in place for 10 minutes - the solution causes a burning sensation after 10 minutes and that’s when I would pull it off. I did this about 3 times, several days apart. It seemed to be getting smaller, but then I forgot about it. When I next felt back there is was completely gone. Not a trace of anything, no skin discoloration at all. I also had a growth in my ear canal which the ENT said was like a whitehead. I treated it with the same solution on a cotton ball and rolled it til the tip would fit in my ear. I applied the Lugol’s iodine for several consecutive days, 10 minutes each time. It also fell off and came out and healed as if nothing was ever wrong. I’m a big believer in this stuff. Both my dermatologist and ENT said the only treatments were surgical removal.
I have a meibobian cyst on my left eye lid that keeps coming back. Do you think I could apply the 70% gel on my eyelid?
Also, I have a Morton’s neuroma on my fourth toe. I am going to see if the gel will help. I’ll let everyone know!
I’ll be eagerly waiting! Thank you so much! You are a blessing!
Castor oil is remarkable for skin conditions as well. It makes my skin moist and smooth. It only takes a drop or two smoothed gently after washing.
Thank you!
Let's not forget that cold pressed hexane free organic castor oil can help reduce cataracts & floaters. I know someone who used MSM eye drops, & another used NAC (carnosine version) for their cataracts. Check out earthclinic.com for good remedies.
Where can I purchase the NAC carnosine eye drops? Earth clinic is closed.
You misunderstood. earthclinic.com sells nothing. They are NOT a store & they are NOT closed. It is a website that shares alternative health remedies. If you go to that website, & put your health issue in the search bar- You will see suggestions for alternative remedies.
Can-c eye drops can be bought at many places on line. profound-health.com is only one source. You need to read ALL of the product labels before you buy anything. You have to find a place that does NOT put PEG in it or any other poisons.
nacdrops.com is another source. They have colloidal silver in their product which other companies do not use with the Carnosine.
Thanks!
The gel I use straight on the skin. Be sure your skin is clean of lotions and stuff. The liquid stuff I dilute with distilled water for internal use.
I just ordered the veterinary DMSO from the website you linked. Got a small jar of the ‘gel’. Want to use it on my feet and knees. We shall see how it works.
Hope it helps 🦋
Did you dilute the DMSO that you put on your face and body? It appears these two sites sell 99.9% DMSL only. Thanks
I haven’t diluted the DMSO when I use it topically. I do dilute it when I rinse my eyes with it.
That said, I have a friend whose legs are in pretty bad shape from becoming more sedentary and not getting enough exercise… and when she puts full strength DMSO on her legs they burn and tingle for several or even an hour.
I used the gel on my forehead for keratosis for 10 days. My skin has been flaking off. Did you experience this? I'm hoping that a smooth blemish free skin will be the result. Maybe the damaged skin is being replaced with fresh new skin.
My skin smoothed out. I have a small patch, keratosis, which seems to slowly be fading, but it’s taken months.
Yes it’s meant for animals, on their skin. I bought Three products, one for human use and two for animals. They all claim to be 99% pure. Big difference in price. So far, no problem for me. However, if this concerns you, go to the DMSO store website. And by all means listen to Dr. Yoho on substack. ❤️
The gel you mentioned says on container "avoid contact with skin" and " not approved for human use". Huh?
Are you using the gel straight - what about the % should it be diluted?
If you just do an internet search lots of interesting articles and studies on dmso pop up. And you can call the companies that sell it and ask questions.
Personally , for research, I use duck duck go as a search engine. Google search engine pushes the good stuff wayyy down.
DMSO helped with my stroke
In mid-February this year I suffered from stroke. Right after waking up I went to the toilet and noticed that I have lost control of my palm. I walked to bed and I froze unable to lay down. Since I am a medicinal chemist with a good experience in neuroscience I immediately realized that these are the symptoms of stroke. Since the speech was not affected yet and I within minutes I regained my movement ability, I woke my wife and requested that she follows the procedure I had discussed with her in the past just in the case something like that might happen. I decided to use just DMSO, hoping that the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties of this compound would limit the damage to my brain tissue. My wife diluted 200 mL of DMSO with 600 mL of water and I drank it on an empty stomach in portions – 500 mL of the mixture over 20 minutes, another 300 mL finished within an hour from the moment I realized I was having a stroke. Then I went to the hospital by which time I lost speech (native Polish completely, English partially). It was funny that as a Pole I had to communicate in English while being treated in a Polish hospital.
I credit DMSO for not losing movement ability. My ability to speak Polish and English recovered so that I could return to full-time work as a scientist 6 weeks after the stroke. BTW – I drink DMSO everyday (6 mL diluted in water)
Thank you for sharing your experience! May I ask if you had been taking the 6ml of dmso daily, prior to your stroke?
Yes, I had. Unfortunately, it turned out to insufficient to protect me from stroke. It protected me for 15 years when I have suffered from atrial fibrillation but eventually this approach failed (I may speculate of why this had happened). Currently I am protecting myself against repeated stroke by 1. Drinking 6 mL DMSO together with taking 1 tablet Pradaxa before going to bed 2. Taking 2 capsules Neprinol AFD (https://arthurandrew.com/products/neprinol) every morning on an empty stomach. While Pradaxa prevents clot formation it is not capable of dissolving clots already present. Neprinol dissolves clots and, theoretically, stroke cannot happen.
Thank you so much for sharing so much and also contributing to the overall knowledge with your personal experience. Atrial fibrillation must be very impactful in so many ways. It sounds like dmso alone possibly offset many complications but not quite enough. I’d be interested to hear if MWD has any insights to offer regarding Afib . Thank you again for your reply!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience here. I am the caregiver for a stroke patient and while we have tried topical treatments a few times (since reading the brain injury dmso article by the doctor) I am hesitant to give oral or IV treatments, primarily because the patient is on a blood thinner and has a pacemaker. The doctor mentioned both these concerns in this most recent article, but it seems there are no studies from which to draw conclusions. May I ask if you have a pacemaker, and whether you take a blood thinner?
I do not have a pacemaker - it is not necessary as my AF is not strong. Usually I do not feel any discomfort. As far as "blood thinners" are concerned they are either anticoagulants [Warfarin (Coumadin), Heparin, Dabigatran (Pradaxa), Apixaban (Eliquis), Rivaroxaban (Xarelto)] or antiplatelet drugs [e.g. Aspirin,
Clopidogrel (Plavix), Dipyridamole (Persantine)]. Since my stroke incident I have been taking Pradaxa (1 tablet before going to bed). Although not listed among anticoagulants Neprinol AFD also prevents clot formation.
re. "I drink DMSO everyday (6ml diluted in water)
Is your dose 1x6ml/day? or 2x3ml/day, or 4x1.5ml/day, or ?
Is your dose(s) at a certain time of day?, or on an empty or full stomach?
In principle it does not matter how and when DMSO is taken. It is very well tolerated and has a half-life of about 12 hours, which support once-daily dosing. Thus, the dose is 6 mL in one portion. I prefer taking it just before going to bed. It is better that way because DMSO is metabolized with the release of dimethyl sulfide, a very smelly substance. By the morning a major fraction of DMSO circulating in the blood has already been metabolized and the smell of dimethyl sulfide during the day is minimized (social aspect), although it does not disappear completely.
Thank you!
I have severe arthritis post Lyme disease (I've had 4 joint replacements). I have chronic back pain which I haven't investigated recently (had MRI in 2018 which showed severe arthritis but nothing acute) I started applying DMSO to my back a couple of times a day after reading your article, and it's definitely helping! I read about DMSO years ago but was reluctant to use it because of all of the warnings. Thank you for the excellent information on DMSO - I'm sharing with all of my friends and family!
Please get and read Dr John Sarno's books on healing back pain. Read with an open mind and get total pain relief.
I have read one of his books - didn't quite do it for me!
I HEAR THAT OFTEN but more often I hear that Dr. Sarno's books work well for them. I continue to read them and even read reviews which give me new ways/ideas to help utilize the truth that Dr. Sarno teaches. It is the knowledge and understanding which eventually eliminate the chronic pain. My back pain of 2 years is gone. If TWINGE COMES BACK, i KNOW WHAT TO DO and it disappears again. It really helps to see the way others deal with their pain too.
I'm working on serious healing - detox and nutrition now. I'll pull his book out again. His message rang true to me.
MY WELL WISHES TO YOU!!!!
THE BRAIN IS REALLY THE SOURCE OF CHRONIC PAIN SO IT IS WISE TO END IT THERE.
My mother used it. Bought it from the vet, mixed it with aloe vera. Her varicose veins disappeared..it worked! Used it on wounds animal/human. Arthritis. Muscle spasms..of course the vet would say “you know that is just for animal use” She would just smile.

I am currently treating a 45 year old CF patient with DMSO and glutithione. She was in the beginning stages of getting worked up for lung transplant. We'll have PFT's from before treatment and updates every 3 months starting in August. 1 month in, she's feeling like a teenager again, exercising and has been illness free for 4 weeks now, which is the longest period without antibiotics since she was in her 20's. She tells me I can share all the details of her case if you'd find them useful.
Are these administered by nebulising?
What doses are you using?
Thank you for the invaluable work you do.
I came across your work through Dr Mercolas newsletter.
I have DMSO, glutathione and a nebulizer and I would like to know the dosage, Do I use pure DMSO or do I dilute it. If diluted how much and with what ? I suspect that you know that dosage and levels of impurities are important
Please provide details. Was diagnosed with COPD and started nebulizing glutathione as you had advised, within 2 days I saw massive improvement. Are you using 1% DMSO saline with the glutathione or a higher concentration?
AMD, I thought I should share my experience. I'm 59, caught a cold or flu while in Germany right before Christmas. I pushed myself more than I probably should of because I didn't want to ruin my daughter's first trip outside the USA. Long story short, I pushed through Scotland, Ireland and upon return after new year's, packed to travel to Japan for work the month of January. I had a cough and phlegm but was functional and chalked it up to allergies on the tail of my illness. Back in the USA it progressively got worse and I started having trouble breathing. Saw a doctor, was xrayed and told not pneumonia, but was chronic bronchitis. Given antibiotics and steroids. Got a little better but not better better. Then started getting bad again. Saw a different doctor and was given an allergy shot and nebulized abuterol, then prescribed Wix powdered steroids and abuterol inhaler, told I have COPD. I've never smoked in my life.
Had an allergic reaction to the inhaled steroids (hives, itch..) and was told to stop taking them. I joined your substack and read your articles. I ordered glutathione and DMSO. I tried topical 70% DMSO on my chest, didn't really note an improvement. I got worse to where I couldn't walk more than 100 feet or so or say more than 4 words without having to rest and catch my breath. 1% DMSO saline with a single glutathione capsule nebulized 3 times a day over a weekend allowed me to walk and talk like I did a few months ago. I'm not cured, have better days and not so great days. Still lots of phlegm to expectorate. But doing better and feel hopeful. Cant say if it was glutathione alone or the cimbination. Should I increase % of DMSO either or both topically or nebulized? To Note, I have gotten blood ox up to 100% once or twice now when i clear out the phlegm, and often can get it to stay in the 97%-98% range with deeper breaths.
Thank you SO much for the great--and BRAVE--work you do here, and most recently for the series on DMSO! I had never heard of it, but now have had great success using it on a miserable autoimmune skin condition which NOTHING else has worked on, including the "standard of care" prescription steroids. I know you wanted us to leave success stories somewhere, but I'm not sure where?
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-makes-hospitals-so-deadly-and/comment/78757009
Thanks for posting this here for me, @AMidwesternDoctor! I'll expand here a bit. My skin condition is lichen schlerosis, which can be painful (mine isn't, so much) and disfiguring (mine definitely is!). The standard of care is prescription steroid and estrogen creams, basically for the rest of your life. I tried those with no success, along with varied and sundry dietary changes that are recommended on the internet. After years of no results and slow but sure degradation of my condition, imagine my delight when you introduced me to DMSO! In the course of a few weeks, my diseased skin is almost normal-looking now. The torn spots have healed. And skin that had fused together in unnatural ways--that I had thought could only be repaired through surgery--has come unfused and regained its normal structure. Truly miraculous! I'm using 60% DMSO /40% distilled water along with magnesium and boron, topically. I found the formula in a German-language blog post, of all things!
I will add that to the skin article. A few other people asked me about this as I forgot to include it and I now have a section in the article about it.
I cannot find the section where you discuss lichen sclerosis .. can you do a dive into this and offer remedy .. treatment formula ?? Thank you !
Thank you for sharing this work. I also suffer with lichen sclerosis. Intense itching and pain barely managed with steroids. I started DMSO and am getting some relief after only a few applications. I would be interested in the formula you mentioned if it would result in an even more effective treatment. I am very happy for you...
...My browser rendered it into nice clear English, but in case yours doesn't, here's the recipe:
135 ml distilled water
250 ml DMSO
135 ml Magnesium chloride
8 g borax
Twice a day was the recommendation, but I've only been doing it once a day cuz that's what my system would tolerate. Best of luck to you!! And again, a thousand apologies for not responding more promptly.
Hi Linda thank you for the link. I was able to find quality borax and magnesium and made a batch according to the formula.
Eric, I'm SO SORRY it has taken me so long to respond! I clearly haven't been monitoring my inbox here. 😣 Here's the blog post:
https://medizinzumselbermachen.de/rundbrief-februar-2023/lichen-sclerosus-ein-erfahrungsbericht-mit-dmso-co/
i have what i suspect is lichen pilaris and have recently lost over half my hair. Going to try this on my head. I don’t seem to react well internally to dmso when applying it topically, but maybe the addition of the magnesium etc will help with that. I feel super brain-foggy for 2-5 days after using it. super weird.
I'm going to guess that maybe DMSO is flushing out some toxins that are already in your system to make you feel that way? You are applying it to scrupulously clean skin, yes? And no jewelry or nail polish on your hand when you apply it? But having said all that, I find I can’t use it every day either. I get an unpleasant pins-and-needles sensation all over if I overdo it. I read somewhere that DMSO can cause a histamine release, and I do suffer from histamine intolerance, so I think that’s my issue. Might have some bearing on your reaction as well.
Hello, is this formula supposed to include borax or boron? The German translation says borax but you said boron so I’m not sure which one to use? Thank you for all of your help!
Hi, Shannon! My "boron" was a typo. I am using Borax--yes, the laundry stuff! God bless, Linda
Thank you so much for you reply and help, I deeply appreciate it!
This is an excellent series and I so appreciate you MWD! I thank God for you daily & pass on the link to your Substack many times, so many people are in need of relief. I’ve been using DMSO about 4 months on degenerating discs (C3-T1) with great results-improved sleep, increased activity levels, reduced pain. (*sigh* palpable improvement) I now have symptoms of a vitreous detachment so this week I began a 10% DMSO/saline solution 2 times a day and noticed less floaters and flashes giving me clearer field of vision. Amazing. I’ll continue to be grateful for all your work to help so many and I’ll spread the word to others in need. Thank you
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-treats-incurable-autoimmune/comment/74129309
Did you make your own solution or purchase the 10%Dmso/saline?
Haven't read the whole thing yet, but I had eye changes when taking 30 ml. DMSO internally for a few months. I've always been near sighted and worn glasses or contacts, but as I got older I was beginning to need bifocals. One day I noticed I couldn't see clearly up close through my reading glasses. I thought my eyes were just getting worse and that I needed stronger lenses. To my surprise, when I took my reading glasses off, I could see the smallest print quite clearly. I've never needed reading glasses since. At 60 years old, I can read the tiniest print with no glasses. My nearsightedness did not get worse, and I have no cataracts, so I haven't noticed anything negative.
So interesting! I've been reading MWD's articles and the many encouraging comments about people using DMSO for many different issues.
It does get confusing, however, regarding 'how to take it' (drinking it vs applying it topically) and 'how to dose it' (such as your example of making a 50/50 mix of DMSO + distilled water....and I believe that is for drinking, and I'm guessing you are drinking 30 ml per day??? But that is a guess. Other people commenting seem to be dosing it differently.)
For topical application, people are writing what they're doing (amounts, percentages, where to apply it, how often, etc.) and it appears to be all over the map. Some seem to be writing that they apply DMSO directly without diluting it. Others purchase DMSO in a gel form. And others appear to dilute it.
I'm also a bit confused regarding which types of physical issues DMSO has solved for people - those seem to be all over the map as well. (Perhaps that's a good thing!)
Some books that people have recommended that I thought would answer my questions more succinctly also have reviews where people write that the book didn't answer those questions. Rather, the book addressed 'why' you should use DMSO, 'what' DMSO is, and 'who' can use DMSO; but it didn't address 'how' to use DMSO in terms of dosage, usage, and the 'how' of ingesting/drinking vs applying it topically (& how much & how often).
If anyone can point me to a book or article which succinctly and clearly answers the 'how' questions, I would appreciate the resources. Thank you.
I'll try to be more clear. At the advice of a naturopath, I took 30 ml pure liquid DMSO mixed with 30 ml distilled water, mixed in a glass jar with a metal spoon. You just swallow it. You may want a chaser because it tastes horrible. I was on no other medications so I can't speak to that, like taking them apart from each other. I took this everyday for a few months. I started at 5 ml to see how I'd handle it and moved up to 30 ml in just a couple days. I'm a fairly big guy, 220lbs, so your milage may vary.
For topical use a gel is easier because liquid DMSO runs off like water. You can buy this gel ready made at your local farm store in the horse section. Here's a link https://www.ruralking.com/dmso-90-gel-16-0z You just rub it on to areas you want help. Make sure your skin is clean and rub it on with a cotton ball, nothing artificial like polyester. Let it dry before putting clothing over it and same deal, cotton clothing. You can apply it as many times as a day as your need. It works great for pain
Read this stack for uses but it helps with a wide variety of things. All you can do is give it a shot and see if it helps. You're not going to find things that say x dose applied x way cures x problem. It's not FDA approved so all you're going to find is anecdotes of how people used it and what it did.
Thank you so much!
It seems like, for the liquid DMSO, a lot of people are using the "DMSO Store" brand. Is that a good brand for most people?
For topical use, do you think the gel version is better than the roll-on DMSO? (like this roll-on: https://amzn.to/3Ab6KGk )
From reading articles and comments, it seems like DMSO has cured a lot of things - internal illnesses, vision issues, & lowering or eliminating pain (from sports or other injuries). I don't have much going wrong, but I have unexplained eczema in a few areas, some shoulder pain that rehab exercises haven't yet healed, and I never thought of something like DMSO (ingesting it) fixing eye issues (interesting - I've already had cataract surgery, but still have floaters in one eye).
Thanks again for responding!
I use DMSO store myself. I'm not too picky though. If it says it's pure I'll buy whatever is cheapest.
For topical use, do you dilute it or apply directly? The gel from ruralking.com is 90% DMSO, the price is amazing!😀
I dilute it with castor oil, which has a lot of its own benefits. I just roughly do a 2/3 DMSO to 1/3 castor oil mixture.
Thank you! I turned 50 this year. Never needed glasses. They said I qould need reading glasses at 40. But only the past month, I can't see! Now I carry 1.5 readers with me. Such a pain but worse that I can't see. I will try the DMSO. Thank you!
I'm nearly your age, a lifelong astigmatism, I think I will try a low daily dose. My annual eye checkup is in a few months and it'll be interesting to see if my baby cataracts or or reading has changed.
Well I hope so for you, but that wasn't why I was taking it. I had a torn hip labrum and I took it for pain relief. The eye improvement was a bonus.
I also have baby "designer" cataracts did the DSMO improve yours?
Amazing! Could you describe in more details, how much you took and how often? My mom has similar eye problem and doctor just recommended bifocals :(
I took 30 ml pure DMSO mixed in a glass with 30 ml water every day. Just swallow it down. It's nasty tasting! I started at 5 ml and worked my way up to that dose in a couple weeks. There's absolutely no guarantee it will do that for your mom. My wife also took it and had no changes in her eyes whatsoever and still wears reading glasses. DMSO seems to have a mind of its own and latches on to different problem areas without rhyme or reason. There are stories that the papermill workers who first started noticing its effects would be getting DMSO all over their right arm and suddenly discover that old injuries to their left shoulder or right hip felt better, even though they hadn't used any in that area.
Thanks for helping out, interesting indeed! so it's 50%? 5ml DMSO and 5ml water first? just ordered a pure bottle, hoping to try on a friend with thyroid cancer, praying for your wife, my mom, and all! :D
Thanks, can always use prayers. It was recommended to start small because it's horrible tasting. I'd have something like a little shot of fruit juice for a chaser. You can start with a higher dose if you can stomach it. Yes, just a 50/50 mixture. I just use tap water run through our filter, but you could use any kind you want. Use a metal spoon and clear glass because some plastics get dissolved by DMSO. Some plastics don't, so don't worry if your DMSO is shipped in plastic. It if is, you can be sure it's a plastic that can handle it. Also use clear glass because some painted ceramics might also have the paint dissolve.
So no distilled water needed? Do you drink on empty stomach? Amandha Vollmer in her book says "You must take this DMSO dose on an empty stomach, two hours after your last meal and not eat for two hours after you take the dose. The DMSO will also help the vitamin C absorb better into the body..." She also mentioned 40% eye drop, have you tried it? Not sure if it's too much to drink and eye drop at the same time...
Never tried eye drop. Just used filtered water. If it's safe to drink, it's safe to mix with DMSO. Always took at night before bed, so probably empty stomach.
Have you been taking 30 ml of DMSO per day (deluted in water I assume?) Thanks
Yes, a 50/50 mixture with distilled water, so 30ml DMSO/30ml water. I started at 5/5 to see how I'd handle it and moved up quickly. I took it every day for a few months for different problem (pain relief from a torn labrum) and the presbyopia disappearing was an unexpected bonus. This was probably 10 years ago. I take a 5 ml dose periodically now, larger when I have bad joint or muscle pain. I also apply it externally frequently.
Hello Agent, I just wanted to check if it was 100% DMSO that you were using?
Pure DMSO that I diluted with distilled water in a 50/50 mixture. Make sure to use a clear glass jar. No plastic or painted ceramic mug.
Is it ok when the distilled water comes in a plastic 1 galon bottle?
Yes. There's are plastics it won't dissolve but I don't know what they are so I just don't take chances and use glass and metal. If it comes in plastic you can be sure it doesn't dissolve that kind of plastic and it's safe.
Thank you Agent!
I also had a torn lumbar. Had the surgery to repair it., which helped for sure. But now after 7 years have a mysterious lump of flesh over it, which seems to come and go. Very strange. But doesn’t hurt at least.
I have used dmso from Jacob lab, dmso Canada, herbal mana (they don’t sell it anymore) and dmso store. I wish I could understand the difference in price, but I can tell you there is a difference in taste. They all taste horrible, but Jacob lab and dmso Canada don’t have the strange aftertaste the other 2 have. I’m not sure if there is a difference in effectiveness, just taste.
I did test dmso store by putting in fridge to see if it froze and it does.
DMSO.store has some great products made with dmso. Peace cream is great and the eye drops are nice. I think theirs comes from dmso Canada.
I buy MSM from happy body store and feel they have excellent quality. Healthy-living.org has an MSM I have seen that looks good too, just costs more.
DMSO works great for poison ivy, make sure to wash the area well first. I seem to get into it all the time and even if I catch it and wash it off, my skin still reacts. DMSO clears it up in a day or less. I’ve tried everything to clear it up, dmso is magic.
I am pretty healthy overall, so I use dmso and msm as experiments and just to see what they do. I don’t have any dramatic stories, but I like to know how things works in case I ever need to use them for real.
Thank you for these wonderful articles. I have shared them with many people I know, some with kids with disabilities. Getting past the fear is hardest for most, which I totally get. I tell them it has not killed me, lol!
I’d be too scared to put this in my eyes. Like someone else said, just the chemical name “DMSO” sounds dangerous!
PS Adding to my previous comment, I’m not suggesting it is dangerous, just pointing out the name sounds scary! I’m actually taking DMSO now, started 3 days ago, for pain in my hand/wrist and also to see if it helps with brain fog. Topically at 60% strength and also 1/2 tspn in juice once day. 🙏
Oh! I’m 59/F, good health. Yesterday my hand felt 90% better, but today it’s about the same pain level as before I started DMSO.
Not sure what type of hand/wrist pain you're dealing with, but have you ever tried taking ivermectin for it? I used to have pain in my right wrist that would flare up now and then. I'm not sure if it was carpal tunnel syndrome, RSI, tendonitis or what. During the pandemic, I heard about ivermectin being used as a prophylactic for Covid-19. After just taking two doses of the ivermectin, I noticed that my right wrist no longer hurt. I haven't had any wrist pain since then.
I experienced the same with ivermectin for my carpal tunnel!!! Took ivermectin for c19 in 2021 and my severe ct that Dr wanted to operate on!, magically disappeared. I now seldomly have pain which I am trying dmso gel, not sure yet if it is working but I’ve only applied it twice in the last week
I love that you were freaking and came back to explain...I did the very same a couple days back
freaking out, that is!
I’ve been trying a drop of 30% DMSO in each eye every morning, just to see if it changes anything. It burns slightly for a couple of seconds, after which I feel no discomfort at all. The same concentration on my face burns slightly for a few minutes after application.
What has been your outcome?
Makes no discernible difference to eyes. On face, helps a lot with sunburn (more effective than aloe vera). Now and then I steep a finger in a shot glassful of DMSO for ten minutes, to help with what I think is the early stages of osteoarthritis, and that also seems to be effective: finger much less stiff afterwards.
I am 90% sure you are a bot so I am going to ban you from commenting. I sincerely apologize if I made a mistake here.
what product/concentration are you using for poison ivy, if I may ask?
70% gel from Jacob Labs
After reading your earlier article I immediately bought a bottle of 99% at the farm store to apply to my sore elbow and shoulder (tendonitis?). Also, ordered 70% with Aloe off Amazon. The first night was the best night sleep I've had in a long time. It's pain relief effect seems to last about 4 hours. The 70% is scented and much more tolerable. Thank you for your excellent articles. You are making a difference to many.
I have been taking two teaspoons of DMSO diluted in water daily for about 3 months with no known side effects. I have low kidney function and three years post heart bypass surgery. Since starting this pattern my reflux has disappeared and I am feeling great. I also had occasional sharp pains in my feet which disappeared. My main reason for starting DMSO was for the general protein healing properties including vessels, brain, and blood flow.
I use topical DMSO for skin abrasions and local pain. Taking it PO is more convenient for me.

What concentration of DMSO do you take? I've had reflux for years and can't seem to get rid of it. I finally gave up and tried Omeprazole, but it didn't work. DMSO did wonders for my arthritic knees, so would love to try it for reflux too.
My wife and I have used DMSO topically for a variety of issues, muscle aches and injuries, joint pain, bruises, etc. for nearly 50 years. Initially we learned of its benefits from veterinarians.
We have suggested it to others but our advise has fallen on deaf ears, until recently. More people are open to Pharma alternatives and thinking for themselves.

I bought DMSO in Germany recently and have been using it (50% dilluted with distilled water for body, 30% dilluted with distilled water for face) with cautiously optimistic results. It clears out the skin infections I was having on my arms but does not cure every ailment (no effect on some rashes I am struggling with). When I put it on my face it unexpectedly healed my bleeding gums. I can taste it in my mouth slightly after I put it in on my face, the way it penetrates the skin is remarkable. It can either tingle or sting a bit but it fades and I have noticed no lasting negative effect. I did not try it on my eyes because I don't have any problems there but in my experience of 2 weeks it's been safe. I am inclined to believe all the research from MWD that it could do great things, but it depends on the ailment and on the person.
https://kirschsubstack.com/p/could-dmso-drops-restore-my-vision/comment/77164457
I have a lot of confidence in A Midwestern Doctor's articles on DMSO. I have used it for years because my good friend who is a veterinarian has used it for decades for treating animals and himself. If you know some vets you could call to see if they have any clients with animals they could test out the the DMSO in isotonic saline dilution on. I have used DMSO topically on muscle injuries and small varicose veins. I have also used it on capillary bleeds under the skin. (Yes I am an old guy now) It dissipates the blood much faster that my body does on its own. My wife uses on a thumb that get sore and swollen from overuse.
https://kirschsubstack.com/p/could-dmso-drops-restore-my-vision/comment/76990025
Wow! I am so grateful AMD...The work you have done here is staggering. Thank you so much for bringing this into the light. I wish to add two more uses I have found for DMSO, which you have also touched upon in your work. First, a Fire Fighting injury to the eyelid, hot tar, while my face shield was lifted, using a chainsaw, while on a ladder to breach and ventilate an attic space via an upper wall, caused a chronic inflammation of the lower lid...which the doctor was unable to resolve...for about 10 years...I finally applied, with a q-tip applicator, a 25% solution of DMSO...and within a week, the problem resolved, and never recurred. Secondly, 12 days before I performed the endurance test required for employment as a Professional Fire Fighter, I unfortunately passed three fingers through the blade of a table saw...losing the proximal 1/4 of the finger tip of the left hand, passing through the knuckle mid-finger of the middle finger, and taking a chunk out of the mid knuckle of the ring finger...all were stitched by an Emergency Room Physician 3 hours later. When the endurance test was challenged, of course the wounds opened, and blood was shed...I did not believe I would be hired because of the wounds...but, amazingly, I was hired because in spite of the fact that I was bleeding all over the place, I refused to quit...they said..."we like that...you are hired". After about 10 years, and having used the DMSO ON MY EYE LID successfully, I applied 99.99% DMSO to the stiff middle knuckle, and with some gentle force, over about a one week period, I could again bend that knuckle nearly to a normal position...the cartilage/tendon stretched enough after using the DMSO as to make the knuckle nearly normal. The pain also became unnoticeable. Thank you for you work AMD...you are a blessing.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-treats-incurable-autoimmune/comment/73439845
Yes indeed. A damaged tendon was not allowing the finger to bend fully, DMSO was applied, to the tight joint area, allowed to soak in, and the joint gently stretched by bending a little further each time...and it worked perfectly...including reducing pain...the damaged knuckle has a size 15 1/2 ring size, but it bends perfectly. Range of motion is increased, restored to near normal...within 1/2 inch of touching the palm
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-treats-incurable-autoimmune/comment/73441637
I applied the DMSO to the lower eye lid around 1994...and have been glad I did ever since. The family doctor could not fix it...and was a little muffled in his response when I showed him the positive outcome. Thank you AMD...you are part of the solution...I just finished mentioning your work to Dr. William Makis, an Oncologist in Edmonton, who is fighting the mainstream miscreants daily, on our behalf. Everyone would benefit from you and him collaborating. God bless you, and thanks for all your phenomenal work.

This was an email I received:
I’m from Canada and was hosting some fishermen from USA when I suffered terrible burns to the front of both my thighs. They gave me some ointment to put on the burn which had started to blister badly. In 15 minutes or so the pain went away completely and the blistering went away. By the end of the day the only sign I’d had a burn was a slight pink skin. They gave me the ointment and a bottle of liquid. By the time I’d used it all , I had lost contact with them. I was so happy to get your email on Sept 15.
48F. Married 24 years. Two adult daughters, 28, 22.
For two years, I steadily declined in health. To the point that I was on bedrest for three months and eventually bedridden, wearing adult diapers for weeks. The abdominal pain was severe and my husband and adult daughters took shifts "watching me." 100% supervision was required for help to the bathroom. I was regularly passing out. They didn't call the ambulance because I was adamant that no one could/would help me.
I reached a breaking point when I was randomly lucid enough for my daughter to explain to me I was passing out several times a day. On July 8th, I was admitted to the ICU for what we now know was a duodenal ulcer that hit a blood vessel. I moved from ICU after two days to the acute care unit. I had been bleeding internally for several months. I WAS TESTED AND FOUND TO HAVE A 2.2 HEMOGLOBIN COUNT!
After many tests, IV dilaudid (mg?) and then ora. oxycontin 10mg alternating every two hours, a mid-line IV after multiple failures, three separate blood transfusions- total of five bags, discovered EIGHT blood clots in my legs, an IVC filter inserted, heparin started, five bags of iron, etc... they finally let me go home on July 21st with a five day supply of pain meds, Eliquis, a PPI prescription, and a prescription for Carafate. My husband was going to lose his job and I refused to be at the hospital without an advocate, so they let me go.
I wasn't able to walk or use the toilet on my own. The physical therapists at the hospital were brutal, forcing me to stand and walk on very, very swollen legs that I didn't feel stable on. We figured I was looking at an uphill battle to get back on my feet. My ankles had a miniscule range of motion.
In hindsight, it's very clear that my hemoglobin level was steadily declining. This caused nervous system issues, extreme gut issues, etc. We hypothesize that the onset of menopause is what caused my body to revolt.
I'm terrified of the hospital/doctors and I don't have health insurance. Many years ago I had what was eventually discovered to be adenomyosis after a desperate request for a hysterectomy. The testing processes, an ablation (which the lining then grew back after a few months), exploratory surgeries, pain management nightmare (my doctor eventually had me addicted to Vicodin), allowed me to know what to expect if I sought help again. I already knew that if I wasn't "sick enough," they would just send me home from the ER having stomach pain.
I lost all my teeth at 19 when I had my older daughter. Apparently, I've had issues with severe anemia all my life and never knew. With all the medical issues I've had, no one ever told me to learn about it and how to manage it.
With all that said, I purchased DMSO a few days ago. My 28 year old daughter and I patch tested it on our arms on Thursday. On Friday, we both used it on our jawline and neck to handle some pain when we chewed. On Saturday, very shortly after this article, I decided to slather it on my swollen feet. Today, I've done it twice more.
Here are our observations:
- It relieved all jaw/mouth/chewing pain in fifteen minutes for both of us! To the point where we gaslit ourselves into thinking we were faking it all along, lol!
- We are already sleeping better.
- We are happier and calmer. My fight/flight response has been in overdrive for a few years. Rest and recovery was impossible. Same for my daughter who has been my primary caretaker.
- The autoimmune symptoms are dramatically relieved. I'm urinating much better, no pain in my pelvis, etc.
- I have significantly improved range of motion in my ankles... from ONE application Saturday night. I usually have to elevate my legs four times a day for half hour at a time. I didn't elevate at all today and felt no pain until 4:00 pm. When I promptly reapplied!
- For the first time in two years, we hung out in the kitchen preparing food as a family (with me on my feet from 10:30 am - 5:00 pm.) Usually, I could only stand for half hour at a time before the pain in my ankles was too much and my back started aching!!
So, first of all, thank you so much. Truly.
Secondly, I was taking photos of my feet before/after since last night to document the changes and differences. I wanted to offer to send them to you over time since most individuals can't PROVE their wonderful results. I have a tattoo that proves that it's me each time, I'm willing to send my medical records, and am willing to answer any and all questions you have. I'm also very open to taking and following instruction to do it differently. I have no idea if this would be helpful, so I figured I'd ask.
Thank you so much. You've already changed my life... by providing hope. I wish that my family and I had a way to repay you. Much love, appreciation, and respect!
P.S. I'm not dunking on the people who saved my life, three times over. I appreciate the medical staff that knew how to treat me. Fifteen minutes into the ER and I was receiving blood. They estimated that I had fifteen minutes of life left. Just a note, no intention to disrespect those that gave me a second chance at life.
That is a very heartwarming story (especially the part about dinner with your family).
Few quick thoughts:
•Your story again illustrates why it's so frustrating DMSO was buried by the medical system.
•The only thing you can really "do" in return for me is tell more people about DMSO. I put an immense amount of into this series because I really want the benefit it can provide to be available to more people.
•Most of the responses you described are typical things people experience from DMSO.
•The one thing you may want to look into is taking the Chinese Herbal Formula Yunnan Bai Yao. It's often very helpful for these types of chronic internal bleeding cases (e.g., I've seen some "miraculous" results from using it on people who were chronically anemic despite regular infusions and often on the verge of death from the anemic episodes).
•If you want to send me the medical records or pictures and there's a good before after change from DMSO I can put into an article, please do. amidwesterndoctor@substack.com
I will continue to document and photograph my journey. I fully intend to be a success story! I'll email in a few weeks when we have more information.
I will buy the Yunnan Bai Yao to have on hand. I've been steadily getting better and there is no proof of a current bleed.
I will scream the praises of DMSO from the rooftops and link these articles wherever possible. Thank you.
Everyone is talking about DMSO. Where do you buy it in Florida and what kind eg: liquid, gel etc?
What would be beneficial for a torn meniscus? Thank you
I don’t know if DMSO would be helpful on a torn meniscus, but many years ago, what worked to heal my torn meniscus in my left knee was Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, a version of prolotherapy. I am an arborist/tree climber and couldn’t work anymore, my knee was so swollen. I went to Dr Tallman in Scottsdale AZ and he said he could fix me after looking at my MRI (which you will need for any doc to accurately assess your chances at recovery). I only went three of the four visits he said it would take, spaced about a month apart. I have gone back to tree climbing and have run two full marathons since then and many smaller races and have no issues…..and it has been more than 10 years. Obviously DMSO is cheaper, and easier and you can start immediately from home, but if u need a fallback, think about PRP therapy….no “side effects”….whatever you do, don’t let them “scraped or “trim” your meniscus…you will probably end up with arthritis…
I hope you find some relief. I know I couldn’t walk a block when I messed up my knee (climbing trees) and tore the meniscus.
Good luck!
In the first article of the series, the doctor recommends three brands with links.
They took too long to ship so I searched Amazon for "DMSO 70." I didn't want to mess with diluting it myself.
I purchased the first one that got here in two days. It's been a miracle. Try it!
It's helped with all my issues, with the exception of range of motion in my ankles and knees, I'm almost completely healed. It's helped with my husband's shoulder. It's helped with my 28dd mouth pain. It's taken my 22dd's ear pain away. It's truly a set of miracles. Try it! I won't hurt you and it's a cheap "experiment!" (Apologies on taking so long to answer. I wasn't notified of a comment.)
This was an amazing story. I am very interested in DMSO.
I cannot seem to find it anywhere that is suitable for human use.
Where did you purchase the product?
Thank you

sound like progress. yay.
silly question. have you ever gotten b12 injections? or looked into Pernicious anemia?
b12 is cheap, easy, and safe. i'm in CA. i bought syringes online. bought b12 ampules from a German pharmacy. they didn't do the trick for me but i have no regrets. my labs always some back low for b12.
I haven't! Learning about anemia in general, I now know the importance of iron, folate, and B12. We are changing the way we eat in addition to supplementing. Dr. Eric Berg on youtube has wonderful information on vitamins and the correct types to take (helped me understand the difference between synthetic and natural vitamins.)
We're starting a garden and learning about amendments so we can pack more nutrition into our diet. We're also going to move toward a long-term change to a keto diet.
I will look into the injections. Thank you very much for taking the time to help me!
The Midwestern Doctor also has information on how to get bloodwork done to test for nutrients. We plan to have me tested for that as soon as we can. Though I can't remember which article I read about it in... maybe increasing zeta potential?
We're also setting up areas on our property to make earthing a habit for the whole family.
Again, I very much appreciate the help.
I received this comment on another thread:
After reading this I got a tub of 70/30 gel and applied it to my sons feet three times per day. He was riding his skateboard barefoot and crunched his toes under his feet. No broken bones.
Within three days he said he felt no pain or discomfort at all. For the sort of injury it was it seemed like the sort of thing which would take weeks to stop hurting and for all discomfort to end for a sixteen year old!
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-could-save-millions-from-brain/comment/71610092
I had a similar success with a much less severe mishap. I stubbed a toe on a rock in the garden, and it immediately started swelling. I was pretty sure it was a sprain, couldn't put any weight on it.
I had just gotten a delivery of DMSO (100%), prompted by AMD's thorough explanations. This being my first attempt to use it, I was cautious... I dipped a Q-tip into the bottle and rubbed it on my toe (top and bottom). Pain and swelling went down in minutes, no burning or any other discomfort. Three applications, about 1/2 hour apart, and total recovery.
I then noticed pain in my foot tendons (apparently masked by the louder pain in the toe). One more application, and that was the end.
Next I'm going to try it on my varicose veins, which I've been living with for 50 years.
I have a dear friend who was severely vaccine injured decades ago. His mother was a GP and he got his typhoid shot before travelling overseas on her insistance. It almost killed him. In an effort to heal himself, he studied everything he could lay his hands on and put himself on a big regime of alternative treatment protocols including DMSO. He ingests it and applies it liberally for all manner of ailments. I have used it also (not internally). If it hasn't killed him after decades of use, I dare say it is safe and probably much safer than a lot of the toxic garbage sitting on pharmacy shelves, as he all but bathes in it and he's doing just fine. No, I'm not a doctor or medically trained and Im not offering advice, but sharing my experience and I am open to learning more. Thank you for sharing!
I've been using DMSO with 2% povidone iodine (Betadine) for months with great success. Heals diabetic leg ulcers, toe nail fungus, and even seems to help with skin cancers. The FDA 'banned' it because of a single case where it changed the refractive index of a Rat eye. I assume that on dissipation, the refractive index returned to normal with no harm done.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-fdas-war-on-americas-health/comment/110054996
MWD linked to your comment. I think the key is povidone iodine. I started with Iodine Tincture (cause I had it). it didn't work so I moved over to povidone iodine (Betadine) and its been more successful. However, its still only been about five weeks. Per one of MWD's points...I try to take the weekend off so my body doesn't get used to the DMSO.
So - what's the ratio you're using for this with nail fungus? I'm definitely curious about that and its effectiveness.
Same here! My husband has toenail fungus and would love to know how & all the specifics.
I live in Portugal and Betadine is sold with a 10% povidone iodine concentrartion. Would you say it can also work for nail fungus treatment, together with DMSO?
Note the colloidal silver may have also helped heal kitties eye ❤️. I have been using DMSO on my psoriasis with much success. It generally works well as a preventative; however, with a flare up I add a small dab of topical steroid and that knocks it out 100%. It does a really good job transporting other substances. I’ve noticed some skin irritation with a new purchase from a different source. So I think it’s important to make sure you have a trusted vendor.
https://kirschsubstack.com/p/could-dmso-drops-restore-my-vision/comment/77194941
Here is the source for my purchase:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GBELE7G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This source is "pharma grade"...
I wish I had the same outcome on my plaque psoriasis. I've tried it twice now on 2 areas of my upper arm and both times, I ended up with a larger area of redness that was warm to the touch.
Do you supplement with ~12 grams of grass-fed bovine collagen, ~300 mg vitamin C, and ~30 mg of zinc daily?
That cured psoriasis?
I think it would depend on how bad things are. There are underlying issues for psoriasis and this would help restore gut / interstitial / skin health and immunity. If you've got metabolism issues or other health problems, this is a good first step, but you'd have to address them as well. Brewer55 in a comment below directly correlated specific food issues related to flare ups. That's also a good place to start, in general, in improving your overall condition. It's an experiment in sample size = 1. We're all different. Find what works for you.
Since my post, my wife and I have been on a Paleo diet. I am also eating plain greek yogurt and drinking a bit of Kefir daily -- for gut health. My spots of psoriasis are much better but, still not psoriasis free. I also take Floristor, a very good probiotic. Gut issues seem to run in my family so, I'm doing what I can to improve things.
Have you tried to add any collagen / Vitamin C / zinc to your routine? Grass-fed bone broth / gelatin is wonderful for healing the gut. Also obviously skin and the interstitial tissues. I've had pretty good success with it. Also, the article on increasing Zeta potential may be useful too.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-to-improve-zeta-potential-and
No collagen or bone broth but, I take more supplements than I can shake a stick at!
The toxins eliminated by the parasites in our gut create inflammation, skin rashes, Parkinson, Alzheimer, and many other disorders. We are not told about this. If you visit the right wellness clinic you will be given the right information.
A microbiome test and then correct probiotics, plus resolving unresolved events in your life, would cii lui ear psoriazis. In any disease there us a big percentage of a psychological component. My opinion...
Somebody convinced me to try the x39 patches for the psoriasis I'm dealing with. I've been using the patches for 2 weeks and 'maybe' I see a very minimal improvement, but time will tell. I see some research using dmso along with an extract of camptotheca nuts cured psoriasis about 70% of the time, with the remainder of participants getting a near resolution of symptoms. The problem is finding an extract of camptotheca nuts.
I've got a flare up again in the same area of my arm - the right bicep and the opposite side. I've become all but convinced that alcohol consumption and sugar / carbs are directly related to flare ups. I've had too much "holiday cheer" in the last few weeks. I'm going cold turkey on all of it now as the itching is relentless!
You could add some drops of essential oil of lavender to olive oil -- the oils should be organic -- and apply this to your skin. It did help me.
I have used DMSO for burns, muscle/joint pain, headaches, and varicose veins to very good effect.
https://x.com/helen_lawce/status/1840144565715755220
I have read many places about DMSO, but no one shares the "how" to use it....
My 86 yr old mom had blackish plaques on her legs. Multiple dermatologists and Rx. Nothing worked. I mixed MMS (chlorine dioxide) and DMSO. Soaked gauze, wrapped legs and sat her in the sun. In one week (twice a day) GONE never to return.
https://x.com/tho7928Willow45/status/1842723390584463491
I remembered the initial buzz around DMSO from way back in the 1960s or 70s.
Supposedly the story was that Pacific Northwest pulpwood process workers had to get their hands in a slurry that contained DMSO and all had noticed a relief from any arthritic type pain in their hands.
After the Doc here brought up the benefits I gave it a try on some minor chronic pain.
Pretty much just the usual old age back and knee pain on wake up in the AM or after physical work.
I seem to have a high pain tolerance, or maybe I'm just a lunkhead and ignore it.
After running the tolerance tests as per Docs' suggestion it turns out I can tolerate 100% DMSO.
I can feel it sinking in which is a bit spooky in a good way.
After putting it on my knees and back I almost can't believe how quickly the pain stops.
Swapping out the plastic on my greenhouse, I was using concrete blocks to weigh the plastic down as I worked with it and one of the blocks slipped out of my hands and made a direct hit on my lower leg.
End result was something very reminiscent of major motorcycle road rash on my skin and a good bit of bone deep pain.
Remembering DMSO had been used successfully on burns I slathered it on.
It killed the pain (thank you!) and as I continue to apply it the rash is healing WAY more quickly than any of my prior road rash escapades and the deep pain is gone.
Up next is my ancient and dearly loved old Golden Retriever girl.
She's around 15 - 16 years old and has the usual collection of lumps and bumps on her skin that old dogs get.
One of them was a giant bump/cyst that eventually broke open and was draining for quite a while.
Then some larger growths started showing up at the drainage site....not good.
I found a few articles where people had good success with castor oil on the old dog bumps and gave it a try.
Ever so slowly it seemed to be reversing the problem.
After reading all the DMSO info I could find, it seems some folks had been mixing DMSO with castor oil at a 50/50 ratio.
I mixed some up and started using that on the wound after testing for allergy.
It's only been around a week now but all the swelling has gone down and I think we're on our way to getting this nasty business healed up much more quickly.
Further updates on some of the other great advice here.
I wasn't too concerned about Zeta potential figuring I spend a lot of my day outside among my gardens and fruit trees.
I figured I probably got enough sun exposure to keep things right.
I also figured my well water was good quality...but, no, it wasn't.
It used to be but commercial agriculture locally has pushed the nitrate levels in the water to unhealthy levels.
You really don't want high nitrate water because all I read suggests that impairs oxygen carrying capacity of your blood in a big way.
So, off I go to get a distiller and the zeta water chemicals required and got that project working.
Initially, I really didn't like the taste of the zeta water but a bit of lime juice fixed that.
I don't think the lime is messing with the PH, or at least I don't see much change in the alkalinity using PH paper.
After a few runs of the distiller I was surprised at how much mineral had been removed from the water.
I can see how your kidneys would like not having to process all that.
When my Dad died he had a great old country doc, who told us that in the end, it gets down to kidney or heart failure and kidney is easier because you go out gradually as opposed to drowning in snot when your heart can't keep up.
I was laughing, thinking to myself all this kidney health may sign me up for the harder exit from life when the time comes, but that's OK. I'll take my chances.
Turns out this was a very good move.
First thing I noticed is that a minor chest pain I've always had since a kid, that no one could ever diagnose, disappeared.
Whatever it was didn't show up in stress and all the other heart tests so I figured just not something to worry about.
I had been taking low dose aspirin and that seemed to keep it backed off but I quit the aspirin and it's fine.
It was there every morning until I took the aspirin but now it's gone.
Blood pressure dropped 8 - 10 points, from mid 140s down into mid 130s.
After the docs' article on the fallacies of the hysteria over higher blood pressure I wasn't worried about readings in the 140s, as I'm in my 70s age wise, but lower readings are probably beneficial and no signs of vertigo or other warnings the BP is too low for the overall system.
So a hearty THANK YOU! to the Doc here and the awesome information provided.
Everything you described is a very common experiences (classic responses) with these therapies, which again makes it so frustrating it's not known within the medical field.
Nice to know that at my age that I'm a "classic" and not just another old junk car.
I know what you mean about info withheld. Many of the things that were art or work over the years suffered from people wanting to maintain secrecy on what they knew for personal profit, or to disappear things to cover up bad intent or incompetence.
That goes to a whole different level when people are physically suffering or dying.
Hi Dave, thanks for sharing the results you've experienced. Question about the dog, how did you get her clean before applying the mixture? A friends dog has a seasonal rash over most of his quite large body. Only thing that touches it are steroids/antibiotics. They aren't too excited about going that route again. DMSO cleared up Psoriasis inside my arm(among other aches pains and scars). But thats a bit easier to get clean! Any information that you or anyone else has is much appreciated!
I wasn't terribly conscientious about cleaning it out first before the DMSO application. I would clean it out with running water from the hose when we were outside...and I remembered. I figured (perhaps incorrectly?) that there weren't any chemicals on her so not much in the dirt she might have had on her to cause problems.
Thanks for the response! That's what I was thinking, too. We've used DMSO on the Ranch mainly for lameness in horses for years. Was always careful with it. Now I use it for human ailments!
I think it is unfortunate that DMSO doesn’t have a common name, only a chemical name. Many of us have a strong preference for natural substances over synthetic drugs. “Dimethyl Sulfoxide” doesn’t exactly scream “safe and natural”. Would you like some glucopyranose in your coffee?
Something like “lignolin” (a nod to it being derived from tree lignin), would be probably be perceived as more natural and safer than DMSO.
That's a great point.
I disagree. I would rather the name be retained, then I know I am getting the pure product, and not a "marketing" name.
also, let's face it; it IS a chemical and should probably be respected as such and used carefully.
So you would buy a bottle of Diferuloylmethane over one labeled Curcumin? Perhaps, but I’m pretty sure you’d be in the minority.
I was refering to DMSO which is a name that has been around forever, have used it on my horse for years, vs Miracle Cream as suggested. A name like that doesn't tell me what's in it.
"Miracle Cream"
Me too
I thought the same thing!
Two successful uses. 1st. I treated myself for a repetitive stress injury. I hurt my wrist last spring by not stopping a repetitive action when it began to hurt. I started wearing a wrist brace 2 months ago, and it was healing, but 80% DMSO has helped more. This is a weak, very subjective note.
2nd: More importantly, my wife suffers from early onset Alzheimer's and is at stage 7. Cannot walk, change position, or feed herself. Now at age 71. One year ago I broke out the emergency use drugs, ivermectin and fenbendazole to treat horrid bed sores. These worked with better hygiene and diet, the sores healed. There was a side effect. The never stopping, month by month decline ended. The drugs stopped an infection in her brain, possibly a fungus. This left her in a stable but bad state. I stated treating her with DMSO on and around her neck. I reduced the concentration from 80% to 53% due to some redness in the skin. After two weeks, there is a significant change. It had been difficult to care for her as she fought me when I changed her diaper and shorts. Three times a day. This last week, the second week of DMSO treatment, and the fighting has ended. Now some grumbling and weak resistance. No more fierce grabbing of everything around her. I will continue the DMSO treatment around her neck through this month. Life is much better.
Might also look up Interview with Dennis N Crouse PhD on the Unbekoming substack or google his name for his website for more re Alzheimer's, he has a recipe for silica water
Drink silicic acid water, too. https://drchristopherexley.substack.com/
That’s amazing. I hope your wife continues to improve. Sorry to ask, do you know where can I get some DMSO (I am in Sydney)? My mother (in NZ) has arthritis that is getting worse and I’d really love it if I could help her… Thank you
I know this is rather late but l bought mine from Big W online. 99.99% pure.
2 brands Biovea, (extremely expensive) Bioactive Healthcare, otherwise, Ebay au has some
Thank you doctor for all your great and laborious work, the information you share is invaluable. So grateful to find your writings.
I have been using dmso for 5 years now and no side effect except wrinkled skin when the concentration is above 80%. I apply it to painful joints, I use it on my skin after sunburn and have tan all year round, I used it on my eyes (25% compress). One thing I noticed when I get scratches and cuts (from gardening) if I apply dmso immediately it usually heal and dissappear in 1-3 days without a trace. Depending how deep the scratches are. Being type 1 diabetic it's an invaluable remedy for me because usually any cut I get takes weeks to heal and it always leaves a scar. After reading your articles I plann on exploring dmso use for other health issues.
I've been using DMSO topically for almost thirty years for muscle soreness. I just rub it on whatever is sore and tired, and I've always considered it a miracle remedy for hand and foot injuries such as jammed fingers or sprained ankles.
I bought some after reading it cleared up clouds in eyes. Its worked for me a good deal on my eye cloud, but the side effect I didn't even realize was happening is that my pretty terrible joint pain is just about gone. I even thought I should consider seeing an ortho for knee pain-possibly a tear or something. Couldn't put weight on it up or down stairs. Now it's like nothing happened! Same with shoulder and elbow joint pain. Gone! Trying it now with IVM on a suspicious skin spot...
I purchased a 70/30 mix of DMSO/Castor oil. I just do one drop a day in the one eye with a cloud. I'd say it took maybe two weeks to notice the cloud was clearing. I put a drop or two on the skin spot I have on my shin. That knee is the one that was hurting so bad. I never put any directly on my knee, or arm joints. I haven't changed anything else but it could also be amplifying my supplements maybe? I take a curcumin supplement.
I have a C-6C-7 nerve injury. I had pain in my neck and down my 1 arm. I sprayed this on a few times and I have no pain. It’s amazing stuff!
https://x.com/BPizzle11/status/1940528857137782981
Placed 1 drop of DMSO, 1 drop of Chlorine Dioxide in colloidal silver as carrier into a portable nebulizer (from Amazon) for this gnarly annoying tickle cough. So far it’s feeling I may be onto something 🤞🏽
https://x.com/AwakeAngela/status/1940778081058541689
Looks like this article is heading towards a year old, so I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but I recently started oral DMSO. I weighed 3.5g of it, which happens to be right around 4 droppers full and 10 drops using a 2oz amber dropper bottle. I've been using 4 squirts twice a day. One thing that I noticed is a huge drop in my blood pressure which was getting pretty bad. I had already quit taking prescription meds for BP years ago and it wasn't getting any better despite changes in diet, exercise and weight.
4 squirts in about 12-16 oz of water, doesn't taste great but I've had worse tasting things in my mouth before. I found that, if I want to do a mouthwash, I can put 3.5g (which is coincidentally about 3.2ml) into a small flask with 30ml of water. I can swish that around and again, not a fan of the taste, but it's not really that bad.
For whatever reason, I don't seem to urinate any more frequently. And, lastly, I have already been using 100% DMSO on acne and skin problems. It doesn't really burn on my face, hands, or arms, but does sting a bit on my torso. That has worked better than any acne or other medications for cuts or burns that I've ever tried.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-could-save-millions-from-brain/comment/116309315
So you took 4 dropperfuls + 10 drops of 98% DMSO and put it in 12-16 oz of water, and then took 4 squirts (which is 4 dropperfuls) into the mouth, 2x/day? Not clear what you did and used. and then you kept the remaining solution in fridge? And then took 4 squirts each day out of that until gone and then made up another solution?
I agree. A little confusing as to what the exact dose and frequency is. I hope it is clarified.
Hi Bob, no further clarification was added, does this mean that the interpretation offered (..."So you took 4 dropperfuls...etc.") is correct and can be confirmed?
Thanks! I want to try this for high BP.
Hi Trudy. Thanks for replying. I think you’re right the way you explained it. If I find any additional info I will post it here. Best of luck! 🤞🏻
Holy moly, this is crazy.
Dosed this weekend, 3 days, taking a short break (just can't have that odor during office hours), and already my asthma is almost non-existent.
Beyond belief.
Because of all of your informative usage of DMSO, I bought a bottle of DMSO 99.9% from amazon. My husband had been suffering from arthritis around the knuckles of his right hand. He swabbed it straight with a cotton ball over his knuckles one evening. The next morning he comes to me with tears in his eyes and said the majority of the pain has subsided. He was over the moon. He has continued to apply it 3 times a day. He decided to try it on his knee as well and said it has helped immensely (he used to be an addicted runner).

One more small thing to add to the list. DMSO does wonders for fire ant bites. Usual progression from being bit by the little darlings is a painful pimple looking reaction to the bite, which can take a week to heal up. If the bites are on your feet the friction from shoes can make them even slower and more painful to heal. Some of them got me last week so I figured I would try some DMSO on the stings. Stopped the pain immediately and no pimply sores from the bites. Yay!
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-protects-and-heals-the-internal/comment/77826860
That is awesome, congrats on being pain free! I starting using it on my elderly dog last week & his arthritis seems to be slowly improving. I also have some to my daughter in law to use post tonsillectomy & she said it worked better than every Rx & it cleared up her mastitis!

He is 14.5# so I give him 2 drops of DMSO 70% (30% sterile water) in each ear every other day (after warming the glass container in my armpit) & rub 1 drop on each of his 4 limb joints the days I don’t do his ears.
https://x.com/CrazyMomERnurse/status/1860815163957653830
I have been experimenting since shortly after your first article about DMSO.
The first thing I noticed was that a chronic skin eruption simply disappeared. No long good-byes, no scar. Just gone.
The thing I have noticed most recently is a reduction of fatigue. I used to indulge in a daily nap, then go to bed and sleep another 8-9 hours at night. Now, if I try to nap I just can't be bothered. I sleep my normal sleep at night and awaken refreshed. I do swipe the 70/30 over my thyroid area.
My shoulders are about 75% pain-reduced. My knee ... it's a little weird to describe. There are times of pain, but the overwhelming life reaction is that I just don't think about my knee anymore. I take care in certain circumstances, but the pain/discomfort/instability has taken a back seat to just living my life. I suppose that can be boiled down, if I have to get reductionist, to pain relief.
Last night I got the notion to dab a bit of the ~20% solution inside my ear with a cotton swab. No untoward sensations, no burning, but I did have a quick, mild pain in my neck just below my ear. Eustachian tube, maybe? It lasted for 3-4 seconds, then resolved.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-protects-and-heals-the-internal/comment/77641387
How do you make it into a 20% solution? Thanks!!
I've been very excited to know this article was in the works, as I have a couple of these "incurable" conditions. I mentioned previously in a comment that on a sudden insight I started using it occasionally to quiet my superior oblique myokymia (twitch behind one eye). I paid several hundred dollars to a specialist for that diagnosis, so I'm darned sure going to use the term! I'm pretty happy with the 10% solution: it does sting a little for about 30 seconds after use, which makes me leery of upping the concentration. Part of my pre-bedtime routine is to sit quietly and read. By that point in the day my eyes are often tired, watering, and burning. A little of that solution clears it right up. I was particularly pleased to see it can be used for tinnitus, as I have a constant squeal (plus occasional, other "special effects") going on in the background. I've started experimenting with DMSO for the tinnitus, too. I never imagined the unintended consequences of COVID! I was always a skeptic regarding alternative medicine, and "followed the science." Science now serves monopoly, and isn't completely trustworthy. I wouldn't have arrived at this point without the pandemic, so I guess sometimes there are blessings from treachery and tragedy.

Thanks AMD! Read your original writing on DMSO, got some…shared with many others too. Just wanted to let you know I used it on a surgical wound from dermatologist on my ear and wow…it really has helped it heal fast. It itches and tingles a bit as you said it might but great and no infection. Also used it on my golf elbow and that helps too as I play 6 days a week being retired at 72. Then, after reading this one from you, I used it on a tooth extraction site and seems to be helping but even better, I tried a little 70% on a que tip inside each nostril before bed to see if it would help nighttime congestion. Interesting that I get no itch or tingles from inside my nostrils…maybe due to the mucus? Well, anyway, I wear a sleep tracker ring and my oxygen level and oxygen drops have significantly improved and I am sleeping in longer periods without waking up so often! I am amazed and tried to find some research that would help explain these improvements. I found some research on sleep patterns in rodents but difficult to understand. I just wanted to let you know and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I will continue my experiment and so far every night it has improved sleep data. Fascinating as it must be effecting my brain as well as sinuses 😜.

Topical DMSO is helping all the arthritis in my body. Recently, the newly replaced right shoulder started giving me sensations like a tens machine (along the scar). It made that stop too. The skin on my face is softer even though I don't put it there. I'm going to explore the resources on taking it internally! Thank you
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-treats-incurable-autoimmune/comment/73421860
[someone else] I once burned my hand on a very hot skillet and a neighbor put DMSO on it. Within minutes it was as if I had never been burned.
[poster] That happened to me yesterday.
Also, I dropped the edge of a washing machine on my wife's finger, it went behind her fingernail down to the bone. She soaked it in DMSO on for 3 min. It healed completely in 1 week, on bruise or scar & no nail loss.

This is such a helpful article! My husband is the one you quoted about using DMSO on our daughter with Down Syndrome...let me tell you, even in the time since he made that comment, we have seen changes in our little girl. The biggest one is that she is now CRAWLING-she had seemed for the longest time like she wasn't even interested, but now she's doing it (she started on her 2nd birthday, in fact!). And her coordination and motor skills are steadily improving as well. She is super close to sitting up on her own, something I was getting really worried about. There have been many other small improvements, and it's almost like she's not even the same kid she was two weeks ago. I write a blog here in Substack about raising a DS kid as naturally as possible, and this is going to give me PLENTY to write about. I am so grateful for your articles about it, and I am so excited to keep learning and seeing what's possible! Thank you so much!

We started out applying it topically with a roll-on, but we've since moved on to putting it in her milk at the end of the day. My completely non-professional opinion on the autism symptoms is that it probably would help, since it seems to do so much for brain health.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-treats-incurable-autoimmune/comment/73635309
My husband worked out how much to give her by taking the amount an adult would receive, and reducing it proportionally for how little she is. I think right now he's doing .3 ml daily. Initially we were also using capsules that were a blend of amino acids (breaking down the capsules and giving her a much smaller dose), but we've moved on to a Selenium blend and another one with Folate, some B-vitamins, and Trimethylglycine
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-treats-incurable-autoimmune/comment/73633962
At first we just used Max-Amino Caps, which is a blend of a whole bunch of different aminos. It's by a brand called Country Life, and he found it at our local health food store. Now we're using a Super Selenium Complex (which also has Vitamin E) and a TMG Complex, which has B-vitamins, Folate, and Trimethylglycine. Everything we are using he has either found on Amazon or at the health food store. He also found the DMSO at the DMSO Store on Amazon.

I too have a DS child and am looking for more information about using DMSO
Thank you :)
I am so sorry, I just realized I did not link to that comment (so that you can contact the author directly)
I have a son with Down syndrome and I have been trying to find more information about giving him DMSO. Can you give me some direction?
I am so sorry, I just realized I did not link to that comment (so that you can contact the author directly)
I received this comment from a reader:
DMSO is incredible. I suffered two weeks in bed with a back injury...and rose up and walked two hours after applying DMSO. I also have used DMSO many times to treat serious burns...every one of them healed quickly, and with significantly reduced pain. I crushed the cartilage in my right ear by accident, applied DMSO, and the wound was healed in three days, without scars. I have experienced no side effects other than the characteristic odor after use. It should be in widespread use.

This was an email I received from a reader of this newsletter:
Thanks for the interesting article. What is the optimal way to apply dmso topically? Just rubbing in a liberal amount, using a saturated cloth and let it sit there or rubbing the saturated cloth over the desired area? I recall using it once years ago, it was given to me by the gym owner but I forgot how I applied it. It worked instantly and my rotator cuff tendinitis resolved after one application. It was truly amazing.
This was an email I received from a reader of this newsletter I edited to remove identifying information:
When I first moved to [redacted] to get married, 40 years ago, I had my first bladder infection ever. I went to a doctor recommended by the school nurse. He treated me with DMSO- THE UTI disappeared. And did not reappear for a couple of years. Unfortunately, that doctor retired 38 years ago. since then I’ve been to see several of urologists none of whom even seemed to have heard of it. I’ve been suffering from UTIs and IC for 30+ years. I finally got saw a doctor in [redacted] who treated me with long term multiple antibiotics which ended up with my being resistant to most. He finally gave up on me. I am now on a search for a new FP and urologists….long story.
I was wondering if you know of any urologists in the [redacted] who are familiar with DSMO? Is there a way I can get hold of it? Apparently according to the latest urologist, I don’t have any UTIs but do have Interstitial cystitis.
Do you have a booklet with the information on DMSO which I could share with urologists?
Thanks for taking time for reading this and also for your research on DMSO
I know this is an old post but I felt compelled to respond since I, too, suffered from chronic UTI's until recently. Every dr I went to wanted me to go to a urologist but I have lost all confidence in allopathic medicine due to several bad experiences (plus the plandemic put a nail in that coffin for me, also). I was able to finally rid myself of chronic UTI's by taking courses of doxycycline on and off and drinking water treated with Chlorine dioxide (used to purify water in camping). Midwestern Dr talks about CWD in this recent post and I truly believe that was my problem and why the UTI's kept reoccurring.

It took a while using doxycycline and I had to treat myself repeatedly for yeast infections but I am finally rid of the UTI's. I would be willing to try DMSO internally, though, if they were to return. I wish I could give you a good source to purchase doxycycline. I bought several bottles of it from online vet suppliers until the FDA shut that down (grrrrr). This is the chlorine dioxide I used.

Thank you, thank you! Amazing research. Plan to share.
I remember my brother telling me about a coach he had for football in high school (35+ years ago) who told his players with minor aches and pains to dip their limbs into a bucket of liquid that he kept on the field. My brother believes this was DMSO.
I’m a personal trainer and a nutritionist and I’ve been using DMSO in my therapies for myself and my clients for as long as I can remember. Over the last year, I blew out every ligament and tendon around both of my kneecaps. Because of the use of DMSO and organic castor oil I completely healed myself. My knees are better than before, I am a 66-year-old woman who has been in physical fitness, my entire life running biking, etc. so my knees are greatly used and very important to my body. I have been doing my own research and study on healing personally and without any positions medication’s or therapies from the western world, I personally haven’t seen a physician since 2014 which I only went because it was a friend who was the doctor and she needed patience. I haven’t been on any medication or any type of synthetic since 2009. I’m originally an orthopedic trained nurse and ended up being an orthopedic x-ray technician, I saw the damage the doctors were doing and followed them and was kicked out of nursing school because I refused to get a vaccine. If you need help researching and collaborate, I’d love to get CBD store for five years to really get into the herbal health of life, which is another reason why I’ve done so well, I’m all about health and fitness and wellness without the western medical community at all in my life. If people will read the cares act, they will understand that it wasn’t about health insurance. It was about taking physicians off of the Hippocratic oath so they can treat you with symptoms and no conditions, I suggest everyone read the bill.
Hello Dr, at the outset, I wish to thank you profusely for producing such a comprehensive and thorough substack on DMSO. Several tens of thousands if not millions will benefit from your work.
I have used DMSO with CBD oil for cancer (to alleviate neuropathic pain from adverse effects from chemotherapeutic administration as well as metastasis). I am currently experimenting with DMSO for severe neuropathic as well as muscular pain in a patient (F/75 with Hashimotos) with protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome (patient was on 2 long acting BZDs for over 8 years). I underestimated this condition - it has been extremely difficult to treat and I have had to take an extensive vertical and horizontal look at therapeutics because the it does not receive any attention in a mainstream clinical setup. Psychiatrists, neurologists and others all informally acknowledge the problem but don't want to record it as a diagnosis. Your substack gave me the idea to try DMSO based on some clinical case studies as well as observational evidence.
Thank you Doc. If you ever get a chance, please do cover Benzodiazepine Withdrawal.
Benzodiazapines and anxiety are the next conventional medical topic I'm planning to cover but a lot of things kept on coming up ahead of it.
Don't forget to mention Niacinamide, a natural anxiety reliever !!!
I have degenerative in my lumbar/sacral spine. Pain and stiffness was incredibly easy to trigger the last year. I had to be very careful even taking a shower as any hyperextension at all would punish me for the next several days. I went through PT, started using a sit/stand desk at work, and was very careful about any activities I undertook. I started using DMSO (70/30) topically and it helped. I eventually transitioned to using MSM instead. I use MSM granules that I purchase through an online store called Mountain Well-Being (they use a four-step distillation process). I boil filtered water and dissolve 1.5 tsps of the granules and drink it twice/day. Within two weeks, my pain and stiffness had completely resolved and I am no longer limited in what I am physically able to do. It has really made a huge difference for me.
Hello Midwestern Doctor,
I'd like to share my success with DMSO and would like to thank you for your articles which helped me wrest back control of my own health.
I've beat Hodgkin's Lymphoma twice over the last 9 years. I don't do doctors and hospitals. The first time I went in to one of those little standalone clinics, unable to breath with intense chest and heart pain coughing up endless strings of mucous. My stamina was gone to the point just walking from the car to the house would exhaust me and I'd have to sit for a breather. I assumed pneumonia or something but it became clear it might be something else when the Dr at the urgent care clinic kept looking back at me nervously from across the clinic where else was examining the X-rays.
They diagnosed me with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which they now simply call Hodgkins Disease they said, mediastinal up next to my heart. The tumors were closing my airway making it hard to breath. They sucked me into the system as quickly as I could procure health insurance. I hemhawed for a bit procrastinating and trying to research alternatives. Someone shipped in a ton of Rick Simpson oil, I ordered my Norwalk Juicer and started shopping organic produce for juicing and got my essiac tea brewing. I had quit smoking the second I walked out of the clinic and buckled down for some major lifestyle changes as I tried to make sense of conventional medicine and alternative medicine both claiming the other route would kill you.
In the end, I did everything, half a year of chemo, massive amounts of curcumin, Simpson oil once in a while when I could handle being bedridden stoned, juicing, essiac tea etc... I opted out of the followup radiation since insurance said the wouldn't cover localized and left the oncologist with my 100% remission badge and sensitive gag reflex from the ABDV drip.
About four years later, after sinking comfortably back into my normal habits and vices, I began to feel some of my original symptoms returning. Chest and heart pains at first, but I wasn't sure if they were phantom until they worsened. Slowly over months it grew, my breathing began to close off again, I was generating excess mucus, complete lack of stamina just trying to walk and go through normal motions and those strange sticky night sweats returned that plagued me the first time. If I passed out for five minute and woke back up I would be drenched in a slippery mucus like sweat.
I tried to ignore the obvious and dove back into researching alternative methods of healing myself. I recommited myself to a healthy lifestyle, quit smoking again haha, and started cutting out processed foods. I began juicing turmeric and simmering it down with its pulp, coconut oil and pepper for curcumin I could afford, started brewing the essiac and pulled out the old box of Simpson oil to give it another shot to try and get ahead of it but it was too advanced again and escalating.
Feeling at a loss and unable to breath, one day after work I drove myself to the hospital where they kept me for four days. They said I had a tumor the size of my heart, next to my heart that was putting the pressure against my airways, making it hard to breath and causing the chest pain. After about a month I was finally able to procure health insurance again and I got sucked back through the system quickly. This time they wanted to use a more aggressive chemo, and once they had eliminated the tumor they planned to kill all the bone marrow in my body with another aggressive chemo and then try and regrow it using my stem cells which they would try and obtain after healing a bit from the initial tumor blasting round. I refused and got them to agree to a weaker chemo/immunotherapy combination.
This time I went on for over a year in the infusion room. The tumor was long gone as they always seemed to disappear quickly from the initial treatment. We were going month to month, occasionally doing CT scans and PET scans as insurance would allow. The CT scan would always show a "hot spot" which would require a more thorough PET scan of course. The PET scan would confirm "hot spots" that made the doctors unsure, and more treatment would be deemed necessary.
After a while of this I developed neuropathy in my hands, feet and face as a result from the immunotherapy. I was off the chemo by now. They told me there is no such thing as remission when you have recurring lymphoma and that I would have to be treated for life. They said they had patients who had been on this immunotherapy for 10+ years and not to worry despite my trying to explain this horrible numbing pain I was feeling (I now know is neuropathy) as well as the hives I was beginning to get.
I did a job for a neurologist who's son was also a podiatrist. We had a quick chat about chemo induced neuropathy and they informed me that despite what I was reading online it can in some instances be reversed with the activated prescription versions of some b and k along with alpha lipoic. I took the news to my oncologist to ask him about it and he got a little short with me. He denounced the vitamins saying that there isn't a cure, there are no studies about these, but they could treat the symptoms with more medications that had actual scientific studies backing it, Gabapentin in this case. This was during COVID now and I'm sure the doctors were getting quite tired of patients asking about alternative treatments. As I sat in my infusion chair I looked up and found all the studies on pubmed backing up what the neurologist had told me. That was it for me. I walked and called myself cured and decided to go all in on the health nut angle. The tumor had been gone for a year and these "hot spots" he informed me after some questioning could just be inflammation, from something I ate. Could be anything really they said... but here's some gabapentin, buck up soldier.
Now almost four years later again, after a particularly nasty job, all five of my telltale symptoms returned ferociously, suddenly this time. Within a week I had intense chest pain, my body swelled up, my lymph under my left arm and down by my left hip. The nightsweats returned, endless mucus out of my mouth and nose and my breathing began to close back off. At this point I already felt much more confident that I could manage my health through lifestyle changes. We had weeded out most processed foods, we're shopping at the farmers market, eating locally raised meat, eggs, dairy. We're making l reuteri yogurt to try and repopulate some healthy gut bacteria and drinking copious amounts of various teas from an arsenal of herbs in the pantry, as well as growing our own medicinal herbs. The symptoms came on quick though and continued getting worse.
Enter DMSO. I had already read over a few of your articles and finding your index made short work of the remaining DMSO literature. It was quite compelling and I was sold on giving it a shot. I ordered the 24/24mg iver/fenben combo from TWC and grabbed some DMSO from one of your recommended sources. After patch testing full strength on my wrist I decided I was one of the luck folks that could handle full strength so the next day I opened up a pill, stuck it in a mortar with some reverse osmosis water and ground it up with some DMSO and a little castor oil to plaster it over the spot over the pain where my tumor always was.
Boy oh boy, I was not one of the people who could handle 100% strength haha. At least not there. The nerves began firing off and it became more and more intense until I had to wash it off. The only comparison I have is it felt the same as when I had shingles on my side years ago. Just a steady sharp burning, increasing in intensity.
I started stepping back and trying different strengths until I found one I could manage. In the meantime I started drinking a teaspoon of DMSO, once a day at night as I took my iver/fenben pill. I put the DMSO mixture in a spray bottle and simultaneously began spraying 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide and then topping it with DMSO over the painful area on my side and chest.
I noticed that whether I drank it, sprayed it or did both, within a matter of minutes the pain in my chest would disappear. Encouraged by the instantaneous results I kept at it and stuck to a routine. I did 5 days on two days off. At the same time I kept up the essiac tea, which has a few chelating herbs and the the anti tumor herb, as well as other teas. Mainly but not limited to a dandelion root, clove, turmeric, ashwaganda, passionflower, Sarsaparilla, cinnamon blend we've been mixing up that we dubbed "ambrosia" and then a daily cup or two of Justicia Secunda, St John's Bush (not wort), which apparently can boost blood counts and is packed with iron.
One month in and all symptoms were gone except for the chest pain which was diminishing, and a slight cough. Gradually so hard to be sure but I was noticing it less and less. I can raise my arms over my head and bend over/lay down without my breathing being cut off again. I don't plan on obtaining insurance and visiting the hospital again. At this point, I feel quite comfortable that I can manage this myself as we continue removing all the toxins from our home. Clothing, cookware, water, food etc...
Thank you much for your efforts at making this information easily accessible.
This is a fantastic case. You showed everyone that cancer isn’t just something to “go through” — it’s something you fight head-on. You didn’t just go along for the ride, you kicked this thing’s ass.
That said, don’t let up. These cancers can adapt and turn aggressive fast, especially once they’ve been hit a few times. Two things I’d keep in play here:
1) Keep working your DMSO/H₂O₂ over the spleen. Think of that as the fortress — the command center for immune defense.
2) If you haven’t already, dig deeper into autophagy — how to get into it, how to sustain it, and which supplements or compounds boost it versus inhibit it.
From what you’ve shared, I’m guessing you already have a handle on that. But it’s worth emphasizing: early lymphomas are very sensitive to autophagy, and the ones that survive conventional treatment often *use* autophagy to stay alive. If your go-to treatments stop hitting like they used to, this might be the lever to pull next.
Thanks, great advice. I'm going to start targeting the spleen specifically.
On autophagy, when I'd get to day 3 I'd get extremely sick for up to a week. It was quite debilitating. I started following Perry Nickelston's lymph draining dry brushing techniques to try and get my lymph unblocked and clearing out the sludge more efficiently. Then going to jump back on the autophagy train, hopefully with a little less pain.
I just re-read your comment. Waking up slowly haha. My attempts at inducing autophagy were simply from trying a 72 hour or more fast. When you say sustained autophagy, are you referring to a fast induced autophagy or maintaining a diet that can sustain autophagy long term?
I've seen a couple articles saying there are certain foods like avocados and fruits for instance that won't break autophagy, but haven't wrapped my head around it quite. That only makes sense certain supplements would work the same way, boosting or inhibiting, thanks for that.
[I received a comment saying DMSO greatly helped a brain bleed and cancer so I asked them over DM for a clarification and received this]
My partner,7 5, came here to Idaho for ski season on Feb, 2025. Although he was able to ski, I felt something was wrong. He had lost weight and not quite right. The day he was to fly back to Germany, he fell in my house and was unable to get up without help.. I managed to get him up, into the truck, and to the emergency room.
Catscan revealed an 8cm gioblastoma above the front of his brain almost all of it on his right side of center. He was life flighted out. Diagnosis next day at hospital with additional MRI confirmed findings size, tumor with slow bleeding inside tumor. His children wanted a biopsy which identified the gioblastoma inoperable located mostly on his right, side of top of brain. Surgeon said chemo might extend life by a few weeks.
Things advanced quickly. He was labeled aphasia. He comprehended but was unable to speak. On his 3rd day in Itensive care I got him PT and with help from 2 men was ble to stand and sit in chair for a period of time and repeated back in bed.
Next day late afternoon he was moved to the brain surgery ward. I noticed his right side was almost completely paralyzed. He was responsive (not verbally) and aware (German speaker no English). I was panicking about him living the last 3 weeks paralyzed in a foreign land, frightened and volunteered for hospice. I had been familiar with antiparasitics and cancer. At the beginning I actually found the info on NIH http://pb.med sites.
I had recently seen an old Mike Wallace sr interview of a univ of Oregon doc who had discovered a number of benefits of dmso in repair of nerves, pain reduction, and stopping brain bleeds. In addition, prior to this emergency, I discovered on x that dmso converts cancer cells back to normal cells by changing the positive charge of a cancer cell to negative. At that moment I had accepted that he would die quickly. I just wanted him to die without fear and panic. Note he had no pain throughout this ordeal.
I had a jumper horse late 70s and remembered I got dmso for rubbing on a bowed tendon injury. I quickly drove to a farm supply store and purchased 99 percent dmso, Panacur (Fenbendazole) and ivermectin 1.87. Note during Covid I used ivermectin weekly and it available to my employees if they wanted. Never even had a cold for 3 years. It didn’t kill me or make me sick.
It was evening and told Lothar I was massaging him but actually was pouring dmso into the palm of my hand drenching his feet legs, arms, neck forehead and temples init hoping would hep with the slow bleed in the tumor and help the situation until he died in three weeks. I put a good 1 1/4” sqirtofivermectin and Fenbendazole in pudding and fed it to him. I went to a hotel when asleep.
When I returned mid morning the next day he had movement in his right side which improved enough that the following day i could sit him up in bed and he was able to painstakingly feed himself. He still had some confusion. Each day I did the same thing withe the “meds”.
I did not think the anti parasitics were causing this sudden and miraculous change as I found that results from them take about 2 months. Each day he improved. On the fourth day our friend visited him and found him trying to stand up and grab the chair to use the bathroom for a bowl movement. (The nurses in that ward tried to insert a catheter when he got there, couldn’t get it in, removed it to straighten and inserted the same catheter a second time. I worried about infection.) The nurses did not assist him to use toilet. My poor [redacted].
Will finish rest of info in separate response
Quick ending within a week he was sitting up communicating with google translate with my friend. He laughed at funny things. He had hunger, fed himself, watch vid on laptop. Nurses would not help with bathroom. Physical therapy stood up with help from therapist and did a turn and sit in wheelchair. Sat for awhile no prob to get ready for transition to my home. Eating 3x per day feeding himself the 2 handed European way.
Ever day at my house improvement. His kids came and he needed someone to shave and bed bath him. He would use the toilet chair but could not know beginning ending of a bm for at least another week. As hi strength improved he could use his own strength to get up, we steadied. Balance was poor. Improvement very noticeable during after the 3rd week of diagnosis.
I kept up with the meds as I had done in the hospital. He was out of bed to eat table 3times per day within 3 weeks. By beginning 4th week I was bringing him to sit on porch in son. I was worried about uti and the hospice nurse. She didn’t think it was important. By the of the 4th week he could stand without help and use walker to go on porch. 5th week he would walk around yard with walker and follow me to where I would feed the cattle. In the house he walked without the walker. His verbal and cognitive ability improved enough that he would talk on phone with friends, play his beloved solitaire on his phone and some workbook cognitive exercises for elderly. He could watch tv by then. I had the catheter removed and he walk to and from bathroom, shower, shave etc.
I bought a walker with 8 inch wheels for walking in forest. He was able to do that.
By around 55 day he git a high fever fell and his head. I had him brought to emergency. Diagnosis uti that went into antibiotic resistant bacteria. New catscan no brain bleed and all 5-6 other comparisons showed decreased.
The whole time he got dmso, ivermectin, Fenbendazole every day. I found out later from Dr Peter Korres flccc website that Fenbendazole does not cross blood brain barrier. From a 90 year old naturopath Doc near Boise I got a gioblastoma treatment that he imported from Germany in the 70s or 80s. They don’t make it anymore. I added that about the 2nd week.
He died within 2 weeks of the diagnosis. He was released from the hospital within 3 days of sepsis diagnosis. I believe sepsis is what killed him. I might add that I believe the dmso may have corrected varicose veins since leg selling stopped during this time.
I have the access to the medical files testing etc
So info you requested is above, Surgeon gave him 3 weeks to live. I have access to records if the info about dmso seems interesting
I responded to you about DMSO and my experience with cancer and brain bleed. I hope you actually read this because I think it will save lives
Stage 3 colorectal cancer, I am taking 30mg Ivermectin and 750mg of Fenden per day. I’ve added Methylene Blue Ultra which contains DMSO. My cancer marker dropped from 124.8 to 41.5 and my tumor shrank from 5.4cm to 3.5cm in 6 months. In September I couldn’t even walk to the bathroom without help.
Now I’m working at the farm and going back to full time work on 4/21, I am a Brick Mason to give “work” a full perspective.
I’m am Blessed and Excited!

I use dmso every day! Combined with colloidal silver I instill several drops in each eye twice daily. My Opthamologist actually told me I cured my Blepharitis!
https://x.com/DontDoctrine/status/1940833792970969182
Do you dilute 99.9% pharma grade DMSO with (distilled) water or use it full strength, using the colloidal silver as dilution?
Thank you!
I put organic castor oil over my eyelids before bed. I put a small drop of DMSO over the oil.
If it gets in the eye it stings a bit not not bad.
😂that was organic castor oil
It keeps my dry eye situation under control and I don’t have cataracts at 74
So I’ll keep it up. 😊
The castor for over 10 yrs. I recently added the DMSO.
Curious as to what you use in the drops. I've been making drops from l Acetyl Carnosine, MSM, and DSMO to get rid of cataracts. It's been working really well although progress has been slow.

I am a family doctor in Houston and a nurse I work with had a friend who had chronic neck pain since a car wreck at age 19. She is 55 years old now and had a neck surgery to relieve the pain in August this year which did not help. I applied the DMSO 70% gel to her neck and the pain was 100% gone in 1.5 hours. She has been using daily since and has been pain free for a month now. Amazing!!!!

I am a veterinarian and this past month I have a client whose dog is suffering from vasculitis, secondary to Rocky Mountain Spotted fever infection. The dog developed punctate lesions in the bottom of all the pads of the feet and one morning she awoke to find the foreleg black from pooled blood. She knew of DMSO from her equine days and began applying it. The lesions on the pads have healed up and the purpura on the leg was resolved in 24 hours. To us it is a miracle!
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-revolutionizes-skin-care-and/comment/79668419
Your articles motivated me to finally bite the proverbial bullet and take a much higher dose (still not as high as I could) than I have been taking (since 2022) to get faster results, and my goodness it has been amazing in more ways than I can list!
Finding that the majority of “diseases” I have fall into the box of things it treats.
I probably should have considered that we were going into the holidays and I would smell worse than I already do, but I didn’t and everyone I see has to reap the consequences 😂
*I did find that though you had many reports of improved sleep, it was not the case for me. If I take the higher dose at night before bed, I fall asleep, but in about an hour I woke up alert and ready to go. Staying awake for several hours. Since one of the diseases is Myasthenia Gravis, I’m thinking it increases my acetylcholine and I feel better again… not sure if that makes sense but it does improve cognition, exhaustion etc from the depletion of acetylcholine. Since I no longer take prescription drugs for it, it’s quite noticeable. Better than the pyridostigmine I use to take 6x/day!
I hope it’s also repairing the damage from this disease and from the TIA’s & head trauma that damaged my brain. I don’t want to have to use it forever, but I will if I have to.
So many benefits & people have noticed.

My diseases and other medical issues that have definitely improved with DMSO oral and topical use:
Symptoms related to:
-Myasthenia gravis (ocular and generalized)
-Ankylosing spondylosis
and associated uveitis
-CRPS/RSD
-IBS w/severe constipation
-carpal tunnel
-plantar fasciitis
Massive pain relief-
I have fractured many bones unrelated to trauma and have issues with weak/inflamed tendons and ligaments.
I have also not broken a bone or sprained anything since 01/2023.
Memory is insanely good now.
Cognitive function and mental clarity is drastically improved.

OK, I hesitate to share this, but here goes.
Because of Midwestern Doctor's articles, I've been experimenting with DMSO for several months now. I have a spondylolisthesis in my low back where L4 has shifted 20% forward over L5 from an injury five years ago. This has caused severe stenosis and basically the spinal nerves from that area are severely impinged, causing a spectrum of pain (from intense aching to a searing sensation of flesh tearing away from bone) throughout my hips and sacral area as well as persistent sciatica in one, or sometimes both, legs.
I've been using DMSO (99.995 pure, undiluted) topically throughout my sacral area, then also on my hips, then lately on my calves (that would ache after exercise). The DMSO reduced my perceptions of pain considerably. I carefully reread all the articles about dosing and non-toxicity and thought maybe if I use more, I can eliminate the pain entirely.
I increased the frequency (to every four hours, up from once or twice a day) and the volume (from roughly one tablespoon to 2-4 tablespoons applied topically). I could not eliminate the pain completely, but after a few days, there was this amazing side effect.
A minute or two after applying the DMSO I had this unanticipated erection, I mean a raging hard-on. Mind blowing. I'm a 75-year old male with no ED problems, but having so much pelvic pain, I haven't had, nor thought about sex for a long time. I wasn't having any stimulating thoughts, I was just going through my self-medication routine and... boing!
Ever since then (last week), every time I apply an extra large dose, I experience this effect. I suspect that DMSO's enhancement of blood flow might be at work here. Plus, all the nerves that go to my genitals are compromised by impingement, so maybe DMSO helped them out. Also, I've noted a psychological effect, more calm and serene. I can attribute that to "I feel better not being in so much pain," though there may be a physiological component to the emotional uplift.

For pain reduction, I've been using DMSO for a few months. Onset of perceived pain reduction is 2-10 minutes, lasting for several hours or more.
The erection effect is only lately, when I use double my normal volume. Onset is 2-3 minutes, lasts for a while, maybe 5-10 minutes.

I started having burning thigh pain in late August of last year. I saw a chiropractor for 8 visits and she thought it was piriformis. It didnt go away. On my way back from Thanksgiving vacation, the flight was unbearable. I was still able to walk and drive “ok.” But, it just kept getting worse. I saw a PT who introduced me to the McKenzie method. It helped, but after three weeks, it still didnt get better.
i finally got an MRI and a musculoskeletal dr said its herniated, and to take celebrex w/gabapentin. I prayed and then saw Dr Kiory’s tweet with your article as my husband was coming back from the pharmacy. I immediately ordered dmso from the store you posted in your article, and I hope it works. I get it tomorrow. I finished reading Back Mechanic. I will not do surgery. That dr tried to schedule me, but from past surgery experience, its too risky, and theres a lot of room for error and just more pain.
Im glad to hear its been helping you. Its been a long road, and I truly hope this helps heal my back, glutes, and thigh.
Dear Steve,
Here’s what I know about DMSO. My mother (100 yrs old) fell three weeks ago. When she fell, she broke her nose and fractured a couple of orbital bones-one around each eye-which resulted in terrible bruising due to her blood thinner medication. She spent 6 days in the hospital and my sister and I visited her everyday. Each time, my sister would apply DMSO cream to her facial bruises. Due to this fall, her bruises were almost black the first day. The 2nd day, they were dark purple. The 3rd day it was just remarkable-her bruises were starting to fade! Going from purple to that greenish yellow that we’ve all seen. Three weeks later, she barely has any bruising left. All of this is because of that DMSO cream. DMSO is a solvent, so if you are trying to remove blood from your vitreous fluid, I would suggest following what that Dr recommended. Be sure to dilute accurately.
https://kirschsubstack.com/p/could-dmso-drops-restore-my-vision/comment/76978011
I purchased DMSO for my mother-in-law. She has used it ~4 weeks and it is helping her plantar fasciitis pain (along with exercises and a wrap/brace). Beyond that, she looked it up and started using it on her knee-replacement knee - seeing significant swelling reduction. Varicose veins dramatically reduced in size. Arthritic hands/joints less swollen—can wear her rings again and no pain. Uses on neck: neck pain and headache reduced. She had a brain aneurysm 7 years ago, we’ll see if she notices a difference in cognition and brain fog as time goes by. She’s a big fan now!
Best of all though is she was listing all this to my husband (and I have shared some anecdotes from your articles), and finally one night he dared me to rub it on his head. I did so and all of a sudden he got real quiet and a funny look appeared on his face. His mom told him it tingles, but that would go away. He got up and left the room. Ten minutes later he came back and asked how long ago since I rubbed it on him. Then he said, “I taste it in my mouth, but my bad headache and neck pain is GONE! I am so relaxed and mellow right now.” He was laughing in relief.
He has near constant neck/head pain and his migraines have been getting so bad he broke down recently and very reluctantly started taking a pill. I had no idea this would work as well as it has for him. I feel I have witnessed a miracle! Thank you so much!!

I’ve been using Dr. Jacob’s 25% DMSO for about a week now for a rather persistent asthma irritation I was undergoing along with almost constant heart palpitations which came out of nowhere, could be caffeine related. I’ve just been slathering a bit over my chest area, but is there a certain amount of gel to use for good effect? What is too much gel on the skin? I’ve been using probably two quarter-sized amount on my chest area and have felt a marked improvement to my asthma! To where I went from using my inhaler more than I have in awhile and taking quercitin(recommended by my naturopath) with very little relief to now using nothing but DMSO and feeling like my chest has opened entirely and I can take entire deep breaths! I went on a walk this morning and cruised up rather steep hills without barely any increase in my respirations! That never happens. Usually I’m huffing and puffing and my chest is super tight. The palpitations have also disappeared. I have noticed however, that the best relief comes from applying it in the morning after a shower and at night before going to bed. It seems the two doses help best. Will asthma be ever “cured” with DMSO, or will I have to keep doing this the rest of my life? Has it been shown to actually resolve asthma have you seen in your research?

I just wanted to say thank you for these articles. I mean really everything. I’ve subscribed for quite a while now. You provide such value to us.
Wanted to share that two days ago, I pulled a muscle in my hip while wrestling my dog into the bath. Since reading these articles, I had purchased some DMSO and had success treating fire ant bites with it. (The venom really eats away at the skin and takes forever to heal)
I immediately applied it to the affected area, later I mixed it with curcumin and PEA. two applications of that mixture and my pain was gone. I have been doing red light therapy as well, but that was a very powerful reaction feeling the pain melt away.

My husband is a young 92 year old and after reading your article bought DMSO with small glass dropper bottles. 70/30 with distilled water or caster oil. In less than a month the calcification in his knuckles has reduced and a bad sore on his leg has nearly disappeared. He now is working on veins and heart op scars. A new man! So grateful that you have put the effort into educating us.

I LOVE DMSO. Miracle product. Use with other products for acceleration such as with castor oil and other essential oils. Used for Dental treatments, skin infections, and more. Recommended to my friend a cancer patient to drive anti-cancer treatments into cells where needed. Ive only touched the tip of the iceberg of what DMSO can do. It’s a very excitingfield of study!

If I already responded, this is just additional. My husband has quit using cbd gummies for pain, and now I just rub his back and shoulders. No question he's in less pain. And I've been putting it on my badly arthritic knees which are so bad getting up and down is difficult, and kneeling in church is out of the question! Until I tried it today! NO PAIN! kNEELING AGAIN!

I just received DMSO last week from DMSOcanada and included with the bottle was 70% DMSO gel in a jar. My knees get some minor knee area aches from sitting too long and when I do a lot of walking. I think it is mostly muscular from lack of use. Ladders are now a bit of a challenge as the right knee seems on the verge of giving out sometimes. I spend long hours in front of a computer doing CAD work. So after spending 4 hrs on the lawn tractor and spending an hour picking up debris I smeared DMSO gel on the knee area and all the aching disappeared. I just put some on my wife's back area where she has a lot of pain following a spinal tap (generally she has used Melaluca's painatrate in the past). She is sleeping peacefully so will report on her reaction in a day or two. Looking good though.
And the best part is you don't have to worry about any serious complications from doing this.
My wife reports her back feels good this morning so hopefully we have found a relief for her back pain.
How would you use DMSO for tinnitus?
Will be a bit later in series
Yes. Very interested in tinnitus help.
I am too!
Really looking forward to that!
Yippee!
My son suffers from debilitating, painful tinnitus, the doctors have no solution other than cognitive behavioural therapy (which doesn't work) - I am looking forward to find out about DMSO and tinnitus. I'll be doing some research myself in the mean time.
I’m interested in this as well.
I was introduced to DMSO when I was taking care of my sick dog. Unfortunately he passed away too late, but that experience with him opened my eyes to the even more great travesties of the medical field.
Looking forward to learning more about this product but thanks for putting this out there.
Three weeks ago I developed a UTI , try hard to be seen by a doctor to no avail since nothing is an emergency anymore. The pain trying to urinate was unbearable and every time I did blood came out , so I started a Chlorine Dioxide protocol ( 20 ml of CDS in a litter of water divided into eight drinks which will be every 15 minutes) y added 3 and sometimes 5 drops of DMSO to each drink and amazingly after about the four glass of the solution the bleeding stopped and was able to pee without the excruciating pain. I continue to take the solution for a couple of days and then added vaginal douches with Chlorine Dioxide and I’m fine now , no pain or blood in the urine . DMSO is an amazing product and works great along CDS .
They'll study the shit out of DMSO to try to find issues but when it came to vioxx, it was killing people for years before the medical system could even stop it from being sold.
Notice how Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol has a very low number as it's hugely toxic. Why are they still promoting it in medicine? My neighbor got cirrhosis from 3 a day for her migraines. Yet it's still over the counter and pushed by medical morons.
https://drsircus.com/general/natural-solvent-medicine-terpenes-dmso-water-turpentine/
That essentially sums up the issue with modern medicine :(
They want to kill you. Vioxx is great for the muscle aches of (ordinary, not coronavirus) flu as it isn't antipyretic, so doesn't diminish immune response, but is dangerous if used for longer than 2 weeks at a time. Paracetamol seems to provide no benefits whatsoever, but plenty of downsides. They probably rip off insurance companies and their rate-payers immense amounts for liver transplants.
I've been using DMSO on horses since the 1970's. About 20 yrs. ago, I mixed DMSO with an anti inflammatory and applied it to my tennis elbow once every other day for 3 days. My tennis elbow, which had plagued me for weeks, went away. I never tasted garlic, but I did have a slight crash on my elbow that went away once I stopped using the solution. Now I use DMSO for sore muscles and arthritis. It's pretty much a miracle. My brother-in-law who is an anesthesiologist said it would never be marketed as a pharmaceutical because it was too inexpensive to manufacture.
I learned about DMSO during the plandemic and I have been using it since then to treat my rotator cuff which has been injured several years ago. I am working out normal with not pain . I use DMSO along with CDS .
AN ASIDE: about the vile PARASITES, the "parasitic class", blood sucking leeches and vampiric hordes who breed in government, corporate and financial cesspools.
Dear doctor, I am just struck by your ability to produce such a scholarly and timely body of work in such a short time. You are prolific in producing volumes of information that we desperately need to read at this crisis point in our country and the world. I am sure you might change a few minds that are not already completely sucked into the vacuum of the willfully ignorant, death derangement syndrome. But otherwise your information brings much hope to many of us, that we are not so far into the wilderness that we cannot find our way home. And by home, I mean a state of health and homeostasis, of understanding and a factual basis for what we believe founded in real experience. We desperately need authoritative and credentialed confirmation, and so it is that you arrived at this critical moment in history. Anytime sooner and your voice would have been flooded with the unbelieving and incredulous critiques. Anytime later and it would be too late.
AN ASIDE: I wish people would stop using such elevated terms as the "elites" and "the swamp" to describe these monsters and their habitat. They are vile PARASITES, the "parasitic class", blood sucking leeches and vampiric hordes which include the PMC and their millions of enablers and willfully ignorant , without whom these parasites could not do their violent dirty work. Rather than existing in a swamp, which is evidence of a healthy, self-regulating ecosystem, the parasites breed in a CESSPOOL where everything else is dead, and the worst shit rises to the top.
If the poor and victimized class would widely adopt these more accurate and descriptive terms, people may wake up to the fact that there is nothing clean and regenerative about these parasites whose only goal is worldwide control and dominion. But, the parasites must first destroy thousands of years of experience and culture and substitute it with a compliant, self-destructive death cult. This is what we are experiencing today, and most notably with the rise of the neo-racist, mysoginist, fascist WOKE mob and DEI advocates, whose only goal is to destroy and replace. It is no coincidence that the western governments are behind unlimited immigration, consisting mostly of young males of competing cultures, religions and ideologies and, coincidentally, most of whom are prone to violence.
Remember: PARASITES, LEECHES AND CESSPOOLS
I basically just have to use the phrase the most number of people will recognize.
Esteemed Dr., whereas I respect your position, I would like to ask for your consideration in this matter. You, yourself, have pointed out how the mainstream narratives define the terms of discourse, just as the Overton Window invisibly limits the range of discourse. These are very real barriers to open and critical discussion of the most important issues of our lives, and the lives of all generations to come. It is time to rip the mask off of these "genteeel elites" as they prefer to be called, and show the world, in every descriptive way, just what monsters they are.
By your reluctance to not name names of the perps at all levels of their crimes, you are self-editing and allow them to hide from accountability. Almost everyone, by now, knows the names of the big perps like Fauci, but there are millions of enabling perps hiding behind anonymity and genteel deference due to their respectable positions of power or their medical credentials. How about the names of the perps holding positions on state medical boards who relish punishing doctors like yourself for speaking truth to power? These are vampiric hoards of blood-sucking leeches that carry out the violence, yet remain hidden due to OUR tolerance.
Yes, it is yours and my tolerance which has gotten us into this mess in the first place. It is not "nice" they say, that we resort to crude analogies and definitions that correctly describe the depth of their moral corruption. The fact is there are no acceptable words that can describe the reality of their profound moral corruption. It is off the scale, far beyond our imaginations worst nightmares, coming at us like a freight train, and yet, we stand on the tracks like the proverbial deer in the headlights.
Repeat after me: PARASITES, PARASITIC CLASS, CESSPOOL OF SHIT, BLOOD-SUCKING LEECHES and VAMPIRIC HOARDS. It is time to introduce these words into the narrative, because they are honest, visceral and more accurately descriptive of these monsters. It is time that we gave these monsters a taste of their own medicine, even if it reeks of shit because that is exactly what they have been feeding us for millenniums. We do not have to force feed these alternative words, just introduce them little by little until people begin to connect the dots. Reject the use of words like “elites” and “the swamp” and replace them with “parasites" and “cesspool”. That alone will cause a shit storm of outrage, so to speak. Once these words stick, we are one step forward in exposing them.
If I use language that is too polarizing, far fewer people will read this, and I will hence only be preaching to a choir that already holds those views (at which point I can do a lot more to help the world by focusing on other areas besides this Substack).
Elite parasites...the best in their class.
Very insightfully stated!
My relative had a large tumor/no longer tumor resected from her lumbar spine. They had to sever a nerve and she's lost function to her bladder. I put her on D-HTX orally, and she applied it to her urethra and regained the ability to urinate without self catheterization.
I have stage 4 metastatic lung cancer. You likely would recommend Pemetrexed + Carboplatin and Keytruda. But D-Hematoxylin subcutaneous injections also work, with far less adverse effects.
And my tumors are 60% smaller than when diagnosed in 2022 as of my last CT Scan June 06, 2025.

The DMSO articles alone are worth the subscription price!!! I can confirm this is a game changer for herpes. I started to get a cold sore on Christmas morning and after applying 70% solution 3-4 times over 2 days it was completely gone. It never fully developed into blisters. This worked as well or better than Valtrex for me. Thanks for this wonderful information.

Of course. It’s actually just the liquid. I applied it with a cotton ball and it burned a little bit at first but subsided quickly for me. The itchy oh crap, here comes a cold sore went away almost immediately. I’m telling everyone about DMSO and MWD who will listen! What a blessing!
I ingested DMSO to treat hemorrhoids, and it largely fixed chronic constipation, which I've had since I can remember. Side effects: urgency to pee, poo being too soft, and gas. These three things seem to be related. Fix: combine DMSO with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). This firmed up the poo. Maybe the reason our poo is firm is because baking soda is in a lot of food? These side effects have largely disappeared. I don't take DMSO everyday. It's easy to overdose. Constipation is largely corrected. Ditto hemorrhoids. Knock on wood.

You saved my brain in Nov 2024, after a brain hemorrhage. I had seen your post on DMSO and had bought a bottle, three weeks later, I had a brain hemorrhage after an ice bath. Your research, information and help allowed me to trust and use the DMSO. After three weeks, I had a followup scan which revealed remarkable improvement. Thank you DOC!!!!
I make DMSO/Honey mixtures from a google patent US7790928B1 which eliminates the side effects of DMSO (bad breathe, itching, sulfur smells from body odor) and give it away free to friends in 2 oz brown spray bottles. It gives them a first step into medical freedom for themselves.

Thanks for the great article on . dmso. I’ve been a big fan of DMSO since the start of my career in anesthesia in 1980. I started using it mixed with Lidocaine on my patients with arthritis with great results. My personal use started 3yrs ago for back pain so far so good. I mix the dmso with cbd cream for good results. I have not taken it orally yet.

I very much enjoy following you. I am 72 years old. Was a widow at age 65 and 2 years later married a man from Alaska. Great life on a lake here until March when I tore both rotator cuffs. The doctor thinks I injured them painting the interior of my house. I did therapy and DMSO instead of surgery. Pretty much recovered, but am still gaining strength back.
I'm currently using DMSO and distilled water in a nebulizer treatment and its done wonders for my breathing issues [COPD, was a smoker for 30+ years and has asthma most of life]. Been doing this for nearly 4 weeks now and I no longer feel the need to use daily so I'm cutting back to every other day.

When I worked at Medical Research Institute we used it to topically carry drugs into the skin of rats. If you are wearing makeup and put it in it will carry that into your body. It has its uses. By professionals.
The research involved severing the spinal chords of rats and using DMSO to carry Coenzyme Q10 to the injury where it would be healed. It was very promising.

Over a year ago I had an infection in my collar bone. I applied Arnica, Comfrey compresses, and castor oil with little success. Then I applied DMSO, 92% plus 8% Aloe Vera, and within hours and a few days, I noticed the swelling going down, the pain subsiding and joint movement in my shoulder vastly improving. Within 6-8 weeks, between applying the DMSO and organic Castor oil at least 3-4 times daily, I was self healed. It was a truly amazing experience. This all began with me following you, my most favourite midwestern doctor, to realize the magic that is DMSO. My husband had a small but inflamed and painful lump in his left breast. The doctors wanted him to have a mammogram. Utterly ridiculous! Instead he started applying DMSO with Castor oil and yes, within 6-8 weeks of daily topical treatment, the lump diminished, the pain was gone and even without applying the treatment, it continues to shrink. I had 2 separate friends develop lumps below their earlobes. Infections it seemed. I bought them DMSO and castor oil and you guessed it. The lumps disappeared. My appreciation for your wealth of information, freely shared your research with us is beyond words. You have made our lives all the better because of your selfless efforts to make us aware of how we can heal ourselves. thank you.

Guys in the old days used it for horses and call it horse linament. It soaks through skin, so it'll soak clothing dyes through skin if spilled. I talked with a guy who put tumeric on his skin and poured DMSO over it and it turned his arms orange for months but stopped the pain.

I was also told I had emphysema in the upper part of my lungs. I had 2 strokes due to a clogged left carotid. I had purchased DMSO to apply on my scar the scar diminished pretty quickly. I also rub rub it on my chest. Then I purchased a nebulizer, added 70/30 DSMO. Did the treatment everyday for a 1 week, now on maintenance a twice a weekly. This is how I cured my COPD. I also apply a drop to my ear to lessen the noise from tinnitus, it didn't get rid of it completely, but the noise went from 35 decibels to five, I can live with this. I also take it twice a week orally to deal with stomach issues which I alternate with CD. It's my go to miracle wonder.
Me: Many of the people who've shared an improvement in emphysema or asthma with me rubbed DMSO on the chest around the lungs.
I used a 70/30 mix into a medical nebulizer. The first week I used it everyday, then once a week for maintenance.
Yes, absolutely, I do both. Thank you.

Here's another combination that has relieved an extended bout with prostatitus.
DMSO + Aloe vera
First mix DMSO with water, 10:1

Gel scraped from the leaves of your aloe vera plants, or might you also use the type of aloe vera "juice" you can purchase at Natural Food markets, like this product linked below, thus eliminating the need to cut 10:1 DMSO to water? (And are you saying 10 parts DMSO to 1 part water, or is it the inverse?) Thanks doc.

So I’ve been having headaches since 1982, migraines, and they always start out on one side of the neck and shoulder, usually the right, but once in a while on the left and I have been taking zolmig for 29 years. It takes a while to kick in and I need an 800 ibuprofen with it, but it sometimes takes hours for it to go away. I use deep blue by doTERRA to just ease the pain. so two nights ago, I rubbed in the deep blue from my temple to my neck and shoulder, and then thought I’m gonna put DMSO on top of it on a cotton ball. I poured some on and just kind of rubbed it over the whole area went and laid down and lo and behold eight minutes later that pain was gone. First time in 29 years was it just a fluke? I don’t know. But I’ll try it again. But now after I read this, I thought, maybe that was a stupid thing to do. Because of the combination? Anyway, just letting you know.

HI AMD,
I used your suggestion of DMSO for skin blemish that developed from irritation t on my nose due to cotinued mask wearing during COVID. I went to a dermatologist and he tried blue light therapy (essentially a skin peel) that did not work on this area, but did resolve some other blemishes. I have been using DMSO on this for 3 months now it has shrunk markedly and looks much better. Its not an overnight cure but is much smaller and almost resolved. I have also used it for a topical pain on my joints that occaisionally get inflammed. After just two days the pain is resolved. So you have turned me into a "believer". BTW when I read about DMSO my only other experinces with it was as a nice solvent in the chemical labs I also work in. I could not believe you recommended it for therapuetic remedies!

I'm treating a very stubborn skin blemish which continually scabs over with a drop of DMSO, followed by a drop of vitamin E oil.
Dear Dr. Midwestern,
I wanted to share an incredible story regarding my neighbor’s foot condition.
Her foot was inflamed, red, and oozing. I took one look and said, “Barb, you need to see a dermatologist—now.” She replied that she had been going for two years. I was shocked.
I told her to clean it as best she could with soap and water, hydrogen peroxide, or whatever she had on hand. Then, I suggested she apply a small amount of Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP 0.1%, followed by DMSO, twice daily.
The results were astounding. After five days, none of us could believe the difference. And within ten days, it was completely gone. Now, she applies the treatment occasionally, especially when she feels stressed or anxious, fearing a recurrence. I can send photos from day one and day five—and I’d be happy to put you in touch with Barb if you’re interested.
As for me, I was originally prescribed Triamcinolone by my dermatologist, along with Valacyclovir HCL. I was told to take all four antiviral pills at once at the onset of symptoms. I filled the prescription but never took the Valacyclovir, concerned it might harm my microbiome.
I experienced flare-ups roughly every four months and treated them with Triamcinolone until they cleared. Then I tried a combination of DMSO and Triamcinolone for two weeks—even after the flare-up had subsided. Since then, I haven’t had a single recurrence.
For my eczema, I was prescribed a 0.5% Clobetasol solution. I used it in combination with DMSO. At my annual dermatology check-up (which I take seriously, as my brother passed away from melanoma), the doctor examined me and remarked, “That’s strange—your eczema appears to have gone away.” I didn’t tell him what I did.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/therapeutic-dmso-combinations-revolutionize/comment/130470537
Tell him. If he balks: FIRE HIM.
Have been using topical DMSO for almost a month now, after reading your incredible research. (70% concentration in aloe gel.) I've been using the gel on the sun damage on my face, just dabbing it on with a cotton swab. The dark spots are getting smaller, and a couple have just flaked off altogether. The side bonus: My tinnitus has gone from 7/10 to 4/10. I'm going to start applying the gel directly to the skin behind my ears to see if there's further improvement.
My husband (very skeptical) used it topically on his hemorrhoids and reported a sifnificant reduction in size after the first application. He just needs to keep using it consistently.
Thanks so much for the deep dive on DMSO. You're changing lives for the better.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/therapeutic-dmso-combinations-revolutionize/comment/131169876
Thanks for mentioning the tinnitus application.
Has the treatment been successful?
Thank you for your excellent work! I used DMSO mixed with a strong THC salve for my shoulder. Five years post surgery I was still dealing with pain - that combo fixed me up. It might have made me a bit more happy than previously- but that could be because now I can sleep and move without pain!

A friend whom I'll call Mateo was visiting from California. We met in a coffee shop, and as soon as he walked in I saw he was walking like Frankenstein, was so arthritic he could not turn his neck but had to move his whole trunk. So I told him about DMSO, and he came to my house to try it. I had him wash his neck with a washcloth, then demonstrated how I put DMSO on my own neck (didn't wash my hands after applying). Mateo splashed the DMSO on his palms and rubbed it into his own neck. Pretty quickly he complained of burning and tingling, so I took some olive oil (pure non-GMO) and rubbed it on on his neck - contact time of maybe 3-5 seconds. Within minutes, Mateo was surprised that he could move his head up and down and side to side - he was demonstrating this and then gave me a look of alarm. "You're breaking out in hives!" he said. I was. Without being aware, I had been scratching my palms, then noticed my feet were itching, then noticed my back was itching, plus my lips and my scalp and I was pretty much scratching everywhere. Obviously having an acute allergic reaction. So after taking benadryl and then prednisone, we were trying to figure out what I was allergic to - Mateo didn't have anything on his skin, and the bottle of olive oil I had used was half used by me...and then, without really thinking, I asked: "Hey Mateo, have you ever taken any of the Covid shots?"

A diagnosis of malignant melanoma treated with Chlorine Dioxide (CDS3000ppm)and 70/30 DMSO. I saw the Dermatologist on April 10th and she performed a shave biopsy on my ankle. Unfortunately it came back positive. I started treating it with Andreas Kalcker’s protocol K until the surgery on May 14th. I applied CDS3000 and let it dry and then applied DMSO twice a day. Below is the first biopsy showing melanoma to the peripheral margins and diagnosis in the deep margins, followed by the biopsy after surgery showing no sign of disease. I’m totally convinced this stopped the cancer in its tracks. The surgeon and the dermatologist had no answers to why there was no cancer in the second biopsy. I didn’t tell them I treated with CDS and DMSO.

Thank you for continuing to report on DMSO and its amazing uses. It has become a household staple at our home and my husband and I have effectively used it for a variety of ailments, but always externally. We’ve had some great successes and not noticed any change in others. My greatest success was the relief from painful spasms caused by neuropathy, and my husband’s was relief from painful arthritic joints. Thank you!

actual magic
DMSO is a superpower. you can use it in combination with basically anything (CAREFUL!) and treat yourself deeply with stuff
this is DEEPLY disruptive to all of the medical system
and that's why it's 'dangerous' (literally labeled as such by the FDA... ) 🙄🤔
https://x.com/sunnyolive108/status/1940503702944862604
We used DMSO as a mainstay treatment for numerous conditions internally and externally on our very expensive show horses. In the equestrian world DMSO has a very long history of use.

Kudos to VF and Midwestern Doc. I started using the gel months ago, and there are so many things it just works immediately for, I won't bore you with a list. A major thing is pain, and it's not short of miraculous. One thing I have to do if I am using it over a sizable area of skin is put down some coconut oil first, otherwise I can get a pretty good rash if used for several days.
https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/the-fdas-50-year-war-on-the-safest/comment/131533689
Yep. The rash. Skin may peel when applied full strength, leaving you with skin as smooth as a baby's bottom though!
it is a fantastic chemical. I ve used it in my pain formulations to carry natural analgesics to the pain. I hope it doesnt get too much exposure. These crooked Phukks are liable to slap poison labels on it.

Years ago I had a slight tear in my rotator cuff. The old school doctor I went to told me to get some from the feed store and use it. It works. Only issue was once you rub it on, you can immediately taste it.

I used it in the 70's when I had an infection or injury that swelled my knee up. After draining 2 times and was told I would need to do it a couple of more times I used DMSO and within a day my knee was back to normal. I was using in on my horses arthritis for years

Very large heavy duty stapler fell off a high shelf onto my big toe recently. Should have been a fracture. I rushed to put arnica gel on, then kept applying DMSO to the spot all day. No black & blue mark. Day 2 I was walking long distances. Day 3 it was like it never happened.

Many in the horse industry have used it for decades, along with other meds for horses. I just bought some more the other day at my local feed store. Of course, it's still labeled "Not Approved For Human Use."

DMSO is also the only known cure for frostbite. I "burned" my hand with liquid refrigerant to the point that half of my hand went numb and changed color. Thankfully I've done my own research and I keep a bottle in the truck for impact injuries, burns, and cuts. I remembered the frostbite thing and applied it to my hand a few times. Two days later a little surface skin peeled off but my hand was back to normal.

DMSO is almost a miracle. I have a horrid back related to genetic diseases, which really affects my neck and head. This has helped me more than anything in my 50+ years as a chronic pain patient.
Im not sure , it helps my neck the most. Im still trying different methods. Tried taking it orally , but it tasted God awful. Put it on the bottom of my feet last night to get it into my bloodstream.

I crashed my small toe into a chair leg and thought I broke it. The pain was severe, and it turned almost black. I put a solution of 70% Pharma grade DMSO & 30% Castor Oil on my toe, and it immediately stopped the pain. Within two days the black bruising was gone and it continues without issues. I continued using the solution for a couple of weeks. My physician friend also had recommended using that same DMSO/Castor Oil on my peripheral neuropathy that developed in my feet within a couple of weeks of taking the Pfizer booster. I won’t go into reasons why I did take that COVID vaccine after not having any vaccines for 50 years. Living with regret doesn’t help us move forward. But I am continuing the DMSO/Castor Oil protocol. And it has improved my feet as well.
I have been using 70% DMSO to 30% castor oil rubbed on my feet twice a day, morning and evening, making sure your feet are very clean before doing so. It’s not a quick fix. But it was a quick fix for the deeply bruised toe and pain in it! I also use it on any bruising and it clears a bruise up very quickly.
I’ve been doing this now for about six months and have seen slow steady improvement in the neuropathy. But it is still challenging at times.
I have also been on Dr. Peter McCullough’s recommended mRNA detox program for about the same period of time. My physician friend also recommended taking ivermectin for at least a month. I have been doing that once a month four days on three days off. I did get off the nattakonase after three months. So I believe it’s the combination of things that is helping.
Prayer is my first go to though. It refocuses our thinking away from anger and regret and allows healing Love to work within us. I wish your friend well.

Greetings!
In response to your request for more details about my DMSO experiences, here's some more info:
I'm 59 years old.
I've had asthma since my early teens which gets set off by my allergies. Within days of starting to take 1 tablespoon of DMSO per day, I was able to use my albuterol inhaler less. Now it's been months since I last used it. I used to need the inhaler every time I play table tennis, but now never. I feel less sensitive to dust, although certainly not cured.
I haven't seen a benefit when I go to someone's home if there's pets. I'll start sneezing within an hour and will usually need the inhaler shortly after.
I've had a diagnosed bulged disk for most of my adult life due to work and weightlifting. I was rather shocked at how swiftly and thoroughly DMSO reduced that pain. My lower back may still hurt after sleeping on the wrong type of mattress or after a hard session of table tennis, but the disk is rarely a problem now and the pain goes away quickly.
The tennis elbow has plagued me off and on for 20 years. DMSO took care of that in a week or two. Any time I start to feel tenderness on the outside of my elbow, I spray on some DMSO.
The trigger finger took months and although mostly healed, is still a work in progress. I haven't been consistent with that treatment.
The bad knees are something I was born with and table tennis can make them ache and swell. DMSO definitely helps, although I usually feel the benefits the next day. Same for the back too.
DMSO doesn't feel like it provides instant relief, it needs perhaps 12 hours. I used 99% strength originally, but I've since switched to a 70% spray for convenience and to reduce skin discomfort and scaling. 50/50 THC/CBD topical cream applied while the DMSO is still wet on the skin provides powerful nearly instant pain relief.
I still use 99% for my daily tablespoon.
I hope this is useful!
Several years ago, I watched a YouTube video of a woman talking about DMSO. She had nebulized it with colloidal silver and it had cured her asthma with one treatment. I know it sounds wild, but she seemed credible and I think she worked as a pharmacist so she knew about drugs.
https://x.com/tonjiamallory/status/1938551891455045893

Everytime I drown into a despondent cycle of no energy, blurred vision, cognitive impairment/ dysfunction, extreme anxiety I take in juice or tea a teaspoon of 99.9% DMSO & two droppers of Blue Methylene, it’s like waking up a zombie, it really livens a broken system.

I can tell you what I do with it. A mixture of 50% DMSO, 15% Castor Oil, 35% distilled water, mix well in a 2 oz amber glass bottle with a dropper. I use it for pain & inflammation, topically only. I've also mixed 1:1 ratio water/DMSO. I recommend a DMSO book to help guide you.

I use DMSO topically regularly instead of NSAID’s which are terrible for your liver.
I love to hike, and rub it on my feet or knees as it brings blood flow. Pain goes down in minutes, I’ve rubbed it on the gums adjacent to a painful toothe while waiting to go to the dentist.

DMSO mixed with colloidal silver has helped pain and swelling due to arthritis for both my hubby & me. It actually works well mixed with distilled water or other carrier, but we mix it since CS has so many health benefits. Skin must be clean before application as DMSO carries whatever it’s mixed with or on the skin into the body, from what we understand.

In The commercial Thoroughbred industry, DMSO is regularly used, and is considered a wonder drug. Case in point - I had a filly in training that reared up and flipped over backwards onto the asphalt, (with me on her, which is another story) hitting her head so badly she knocked spines off 2 vertebra, and got up, completely blind. The vet came, and we gave her massive doses of IV DMSO, 10 days in a row. 2 months later, that filly not only regained her sight, she went back into training to become a race horse. I got her to the races, and she ran 2nd her first time out, Maiden Special Weight, at the end of that year. This is the power of DMSO, and why we use it in our industry. Every groom has a jar in his grooming box (but it will make you smell funny).

I have had it in my cabinet for several months because I was interested in this product. A few days ago, I had throbbing pain from a tight shoe blister that seemed to have gotten worse and became inflamed. I did the 50-50 solution with castor oil. it was immediately better the next day. I felt it again that night applied it full strength, knowing that my skin was fine with it and I’m back and on the road. I’m going to try this for my neck ache

I’ve been using DMSO since November 2024, when I heard about it. I’m using a 70% gel on my legs (big improvement in veins and circulation) Using it on the toes I am prone to Tinnea, so far all good. Having about 3ml of 70% liquid in a glass of water. That is helping my severe asthma amazingly. (I had asthma all my life but it got worse during peri-menopause, then significantly worse after the swine flu vax end of 2009)
I had a shoulder injury, it’s cleared up after about 2 months of regular use of 70% gel. I give each treatment a break (except the toes so far) só it doesn’t build up excessively. It’s an absolute wonder.

Though sadly I lost my part Turkish Van / British Long Hair cat to squamous cell carcinoma of the jaw (upper) last week, he lived 3 months beyond how long he should have survived. I owe a lot to DMSO and Chlorine Dioxide. I still wonder had we caught it early, would he be here -- will never know but certainly learned a lot about francincense oil, sea buckthorn berry oil, apricot seeds etc...and DMSO/Chlorine Dioxide. Anyhow, DMSO signifcantly reduced his swelling and pain and in fact, he took no pain meds until the very last weekend (Gambentin at that point) and I knew I was taking him the following Monday to go over the rainbow bridge. He was able to eat solid and wet food even on the day I took him in; was 15.2 pounds at diagnosis. 17 pounds day of rainbow crossing. But the cancer had gotten into his eye and was headed to his nasal cavity. DMSO - It's amazing stuff. I have golfer's elbow. I use about 20%, sometimes 15% (my skin is really sensitive) on my elbow and within an hour -- the pain is gone, for 12 hours. I do it twice a day at times - yep you smell like grass clippings (they say sulfur, I say cut wet grass) but the pain relief is amazing. I have made eyedrops using DMSO and Chlorine Dioxide too now and am so glad I just happened upon your Substack posts along with posts on Chlorine Dioxide covering Jim Humble's work and the more recent Dr. Andreas Kalcker's work. I truly believe both DMSO and Chlorine Dioxide in combination -- prolonged my cat's life, left him more comfortable, and now the protocols in particular DMSO at this point, are helping me immensely. The oils I used helped too -- but frankly squamous is often diagnosed very late in pets and people. I am back to doing plank in yoga/pilates, lifting my weights with no pain, and doing push-ups again. I wish there was a no odor version, because when I go to mass on some Saturdays, boy do I stink - it's still winterish here in Michigan so nobody knows, but come summer look out; it's a tiny price to pay for natural pain relief, in a container that is inexpensive and highly effective. God bless and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I had four leaking heart valves, high blood pressure, short of breath, and was overweight. I quit eating sugar and processed foods and started taking MSM crystals (DMSO). Six months later I had lost 40 pounds, blood pressure was normal, inflammation was gone from
my body, and my heart and valves were functioning perfectly. According to all tests the doctors said my biological age was now ten years younger than my actual age. I feel like I am 18 again. We all need to take control of our own health and stop living like someone else is responsible for our lives and our actions. If we all do this, we can simply make government and pharma a non factor and they will have to right size themselves to fit in our world.

Whole body (MSM). It may seem crazy but my mind is clearer but that may be due to the diet change. We use liquid DMSO on injuries, pain, and to heal cuts. Truly amazing. We also use castor oil after DMSO dries to ease any itch or burn from the DMSO.

The big change for my heart valves was a complete stoppage of sugar and carbs. As far as DMSO, we get it from the DMSO store on Amazon and it is in a glass bottle - use this for topical. As far as internal, we take MSM crystals from the happybodystore on the internet. I take a teaspoon a day but you slowly work up to that - my wife takes a tablespoon a day - I just add it to my coffee. Again, the big change everyone needs to make is stopping the sugar. It removes the inflammation so rapidly in your body when you stop it that after two weeks I feel like a new person. My life has totally changed by removing sugar, carbs, and processed foods. I do eat a few carbs but an extremely controlled amount - never more than 10 carbs in a day and typically no where near that. My wife is doing the same (has had diabetes for a long time) and we are seeing a massive improvement in her readings - none of her doctors ever recommended this path. All of this with the addition of MSM and DMSO for healing is a life changing path.

My husband had to buy his DMSA at Tractor Supply as doctors won't prescribe it. He cuts it with coconut oil and sprays on his hips to ease his pain. It works great and no side effects. He had tried everything and DMSO was the only thing that helped. My brother-in-law is a MD with a major teaching hospital.
He told us his partner used to prescribe DMSO regularly but stopped likely because it was blocked by FDA. We need to release all these safe, inexpensive treatments from the grips of the FDA and the CDC and MAHA! Thanks

Yesterday I added DMSO to colloidal silver & tea tree topically in addition to the internal Oregano oil (6drops 4x a day) and Monolaurin 3x day + silver, tea tree (with a few drops of DMSO added yesterday)and saline solution in my neti pot 3x a day.
The itching has stopped and I believe it is much improved overnight.

Thanks, AMD. I started DMSO topically in mid November for an overuse injury of my forearm. I literally could not hold a pen, let alone write my name.
Within one week the pain was gone and I had full use of my hand and arm.
I thought you and your readers could benefit from my experience.
I am now using DMSO orally everyday. I take a half dropper of 70% solution and put it into my mouth and rub it into my gums.

Thank you also for the articles on DMSO! My mom is severely disabled due to multiple strokes. I’ve been using it on her and it’s probably too late for her but I have hope. And for my dad, after 8 years of chronic pain and nothing having helped him, his pain has been reduced by 50% with DMSO!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I've had a lump on my upper arm for many years. Doctors didn't seem to know what it was. I started rubbing DMSO on it and it's definitely shrinking.

Couple issues resolved (Blessings upon you, Doctor);
I have had an itch (but no blemishes) on the top of my foot, small area about the size of a 50 cent piece, for YEARS. Never could figure out what it was, and nothing could ease the itch. Put DMSO on it, and the itch is finally freaking GONE. No more nights of scratching myself into a frenzy, and praying that the ammonia works THIS time.
Had a herpes outbreak. I've had that miserable crap for decades, nothing works on it. Put DMSO on it a few days ago, didn't even think to check it til this article came out. It apparently dried up when I wasn't looking, and there's no residual itch left over. No digging off scabs over and over again, waiting for this miserable crap to dry up and heal. Didn't even have to break the initial blisters to get it to start healing. Just dried up and blew away. Wish I knew about this stuff decades ago, would have saved me a lot of scarring and misery.
I use my DMSO full strength in topical applications. It doesn't seem to bother me much but occasionally. I ignore the occasional burny itchies, they don't last that long.

Is it possible that continual application of DMSO cream to my husbands bad back could be helping his lungs? He seems to have more energy, is doing more, and I'm wondering! I cover his whole back, shoulders and side ribs down to the bottom each morning.

Amazing...he's 85, with pulmonary fibrosis and emphasema and he's getting stronger, refused his wheelchair going to church yesterday, makes the coffee for me before going to bed, and ONLY DMSO back rub and sunlight are different. He wanted to try nebulizing but it was a cheap little thing, and the pure liquid began to eat the plastic in the nebulizer...so I gave up that idea. This was unexpected, and the docs around here don't seem to have ever heard of DMSO!!! I'm going to keep exploring this, and am so very grateful for these articles! Thanks so much. I don't want to lose him!

I had to respond when I saw you mentioned planters wart. I’ve use Colloidal silver for many years for many reasons. One day I thought, what the heck, why not try it on my warts. So I did. Applied it generously on and around the warts, then soaked a cotton ball with the cs and applied a bandage over them and went to bed. In the morning the warts definitely looked different but not gone. I did this for 3 nights in a row and wallah! the warts dried up. They looked like patches of dry skin and I continued applying the cs with a qtip during the day until they were completely gone. Never came back.

DMSO has helped me though. I have a weak heart and lungs due to 10 years of exposure to chlorine in a pool. My chest pain instantly retreats when I use it as well as tinnitus when I apply to my forehead.

I have chondromslacia patellae in both knees. Started using DMSO recently at night 90/10 distilled water topically applied at night. Feel MUCH better in the AM. Now doing it every evening.

Thanks for the open thread.
DMSO update: commencing week 4. 50% dilution. Applied to hip, entire circumference. (Arthritis, torn labrum). Suffering from this for 18 months, at one point crawling up stairs.
Both knees above and below patella 6". Bone on bone arthritis. (Aging athlete).
Self implemented physical therapy for 18 months. Daily. Epsom salt baths on occasion.
By start of week three, the results on hip were remarkable, especially since dmso on hip had marginal results in the studies AMD linked. Start of week 4? Simply amazing.
I can now stride uphill on walks. Nearly full stride. Actually regaining that "bounce" in my step that had previously been an aching "plod". Cadence doubled. Oh, part of that is the knees are responding well too.
I have a visit with a surgeon scheduled soon, if referral is not further delayed. I'm actually hoping for the system to be as inefficient as rumored. I think by the time I get in to see surgeon about replacement, the whole idea will be moot. If this improvement continues, I may abandon the idea entirely.
I'm off meloxicam. And what is interesting is that there has been no backward progression. Just continual improvement.
I am beyond thrilled and cannot thank AMD enough for this series. Priceless.

A friend of mine put me on to DMSO but didn't say much more than that. I'm currently using it on a number of issues from a black widow spider bite to mitigate the swelling and pain (trust me, you don't want one of those), joint aches, tinnitus and fever blisters that my wife gets on occasion at a dilution of 60%. I have not used it full strength. 60% seems a good tolerance for me.

DSMO is the best for burns. It takes away the pain and reduces scaring dramatically. I wouldn’t have believed it till I experienced it first hand.

Started a month ago spraying on my face 70% DMSO, magnesium oil, and castor oil. I would blink immediately after spraying solution and a small amount would get into my eyes. It would burn slightly for a minute or less. I noticed an immediate improvement the next morning. I had less dryness and less blurred vision.
https://kirschsubstack.com/p/could-dmso-drops-restore-my-vision/comment/77035944
I was kicked in my eye by our puppy, 50 lbs and strong, did serious damage and was legally blind seeing double, no progress healing for a month. So I found a recipe 2 parts systane, 1 part dmso, 1 part castor oil. My vision is restored. castor oil lubricates obviously, and is used in good eye drops, but also dissolves scarring and would assume it would due the same to accumulated blood. I'm no expert, it worked for me and quick. I had 80% healing in days, a good part of that in 24 hours. Month previous as stated, was not improving at all.
https://kirschsubstack.com/p/could-dmso-drops-restore-my-vision/comment/76970965
100% dmso drains blood from purpura in my older skin within 3-4 days. If I were you, I'd try it at in the recommended 10% saline solution.
https://kirschsubstack.com/p/could-dmso-drops-restore-my-vision/comment/76966782
I use a 25% DMSO to 75% 10 ppm Colloidal Silver mixture every night. My vision is vastly improved and more crisp than ever. If you have had cataract implants you cannot use DMSO eye drops as they will etch the implanted lenses.
I have seen cataracts disappear after the use of DMSO.
10% is too low a percentage of DMSO. 20% is okay. Colloidal silver helps to deliver the dmso, they are synergistic.
Good luck, Steve. I posted about DMSO on this when you first had issues.

I subscribe to Mid Western Doctor on Substack and have read all of his articles on DMSO, it totally works, even for small things. I burned my thumb on a hot tea kettle, but the DMSO on it right away and the pain was gone and it healed the burn very quickly.
Yes Midwestern Doctor does address it in one of the articles. He has four articles on the subject, I highly recommend subscribing to his substack and then you can get all four full articles, you can print them to PDf. that's what I did. this is the link to one of the articles.
in the article are links to the other three. It's a lot of information and so well worth your time.

Dear Dr. MWD,
I can't thank you enough as DMSO gave me my life back. It is incredible. My experience follows, apologies for its length:
This summer I had a left shoulder injury with a concussion of the back in the upper region. Initially, I was making a slow but steady recovery.
Around the fourth week it turned south, and eventually everything from the top of my neck to the tip of my left hand was inflamed and in various kinds of pain. At some point throbbing pain started in my right shoulder, in the same place as in the injured one - a possible sympathetic process. I was feeling systemically sick (as, for example, one would feel from a flu, if that makes more sense).
Standard meds were useless - e.g. diclofenac, naproxen - and only icing provided some relief.
About 25 days ago, I started a DMSO treatment: 70% gel - once a day before bedtime. The result: the last couple of days I feel not sick for the first time in months, though some local issues persist.
I observed a range of effects, in order:
- Suppression of pain
- Localization of pain to its source points
- Curing of inflammation
- Healing of the damaged tissue
- Healing of the body
- Unexpected beneficial side effects on some other issues
- Negative side effects with minimal doses of caffeine and alcohol
- After the first application, DMSO effect on pain was immediate and incredible. I felt myself again and could move freely.
- Moving around was a mistake - suppressed pain is obviously not equal to being healed. This happened after the first application, and the pain returned in force, which made me stop the treatment for a couple of days, until I realized what I did wrong.
- I continued the treatment, and after about several days I started sleeping much better.
- Progress has NOT been continuous, I had good days and bad days, but the trend was clear and things were getting better.
- The pain was getting localized - it turned out that much of it came from my neck, rather than the shoulder.
- I was able to detect muscle knots in the neck and after a week or so they went away
- Other benefits:
1) I had a chronic issue in my left wrist, that would flare up with little strain. I thought that is going to stay with me forever, but it's been gone now for a few weeks.
2) Very painful left thumb inflammation which appeared after the injury - gone
3) Eye floaters visibly weakened; I have had them for more than a decade, due to the uveitis (which I managed to cure a few years ago with a diet change. The floaters however stayed)
4) After accidentally looking at the sun for too long, central parts of my eye had been responding slower to light, which was visible in low light conditions. After your recent article, I started using some macular degeneration supplement along with the above DMSO treatment and now the low light effect is gone; and this is only after several days of playing with this.
5) A six month old scar on my finger - a dark purple spot - is now barely visible. I put DMSO on it every day.
6) Armpit odor, another chronic problem, much improved.
During this time I haven't had any issues with garlic odor or odor of any kind. However, I did notice that even the smallest amounts of decaf coffee disturbed my sleep. Same with a glass of beer.
Final observation:
- It seems that I would get the best response if I use an ON-OFF strategy: Apply DMSO for several days then stop for a day or two. I stopped the treatment several times, as a test. The same thing would happen each time - when I stopped with DMSO, the pain would at first increase than over the course of the following day reach a new low. It would then start to increase again, at which point I would restart the treatment. It's almost as if DMSO attenuates some useful signals to the body, which after its removal is able to better "see" where the problems really are and heal. But then the inflammation would return and DMSO would be needed again.

I am loving all these articles on DMSO! Thank you for taking the time to write so thoroughly about it. I recall seeing it in the health food store years ago but didn't know what it was for and hadn't ever heard anyone speak of it. I have a lot of things I want to experiment with it on, however, I was able to test it on an acute burn injury immediately. At the time that had I got burned by a fat piece of grease that dripped on me from my oven, I didn't have DMSO on hand nor had I read the part in your article that mentioned it could be used on burns, but I wondered and a couple days later after the injury (and having searched for it in your article) I started applying a 50% solution topically. It was a minor burn but the pain had penetrated deeper into my body tissue and was also causing a systemic immune response that was making me feel ill. After about 2 days applying a couple times a day my burn has dramatically healed and I was able to stop wearing a bandage so that it could dry up and heal even faster. It looks great today!
I also applied drops into my eyes this morning and into my ears after reading this article. My eyes immediately feel better. I'm am going to see if I can improve my vision and eliminate some frequent waste accumulation I am getting in the corner of my eye that I didn't use to have. I also want to see if I can improve tinnitus/ hearing/ wax buildup in the ear. I'm so stoked about seeing how DMSO can improve my health while having also having it on hand as a proven first aid tool and broad spectrum healing agent.

Thank you for the article on DMSO and the eye. After reading your research and sharing with my husband who has recurring eye styes that aren’t responding to standard treatment, he wanted to try something. I’m familiar with DMSO since I use it on my horses occasionally and had a bottle in the tack room. I took a tiny dab on a q-tip and applied it to the stye that was about the size of a large pea. Within an hour it began to drain and by the next morning was 25% the size it was before he went to bed. Utterly amazing!! So grateful for your work. I have an order of pharma grade arriving next week 😊

After reading @MidwesternDoc article I tried DMSO on a huge eye stye my husband has, a recurring issue that no doctor had been able to fix. In less than 24 hours it went from the size of a large pea to near gone. One small dab on a q-tip. Amazing.

I can smell it when I put the gel on, but that’s about the only time. Nobody has mentioned if they can smell it coming off of me. Don’t worry about the smell though. I’ve been using it a week and am feeling fantastic overall and my asthma is non existent right now. I was really struggling with it lately before starting this. Energy too is coming back. This doc, whoever he is, will have so many people so grateful to him for what he’s done for us with his time, talent, and sharing of this info.

Yes, my dad had an eye disease and he used DMSO and it worked. At Mayo they said they might have to take the eye. But it cleared up. It was a mixture of vitamin C and DMSO. He got the recipe off the internet. He also used an aloe eye drop from Greece. It worked and the disease never came back.

Reporting on my DMSO trial - approximately 8 weeks in using 1 tblsp mixed with small glass of juice nightly. Severe bladder pain due to emergency catheter required post double hernia repair due to delay getting to ER and overextended bladder. Within 2 weeks of starting DMSO, 6 months of bladder pain was reduced then gone within a few days. I am now pain free (bladder) and have a strong urine stream and can finally fill and hold like the good old days. Also Covid low energy and brain fog is much, much improved. Still hoping for relief of arthritis and tinnitus but will continue using DMSO. Speaking of shortage, I purchased 2 gallons on Amazon when bladder pain stopped thinking I had to stock up on this before the election. I don't trust the system not to spasm at least for a while and I don't believe in being caught unprepared in general :)

In an earlier Substack, you mentioned DMSO seems to be more effective on smaller joints. I have arthritic changes in the left abductor pollicis breves tendon. It was causing me a lot of sharp pain on and off and there was limitation of range of motion and ability to open jars, etc. I have been applying the DMSO 100% liquid from the DMSO store for about two weeks. The pain is gone and the ROM has improved dramatically. There’s still a difference compared to the right, but the improvement is remarkable. I am also using it on the right upper back and cervical spine as I have carpal tunnel symptoms of tingling in my right hand. It’s also working, but not as quickly as the thumb. Every time you write about it, I try to read everything. I printed one of your articles so I could re-read and underline. I wish I could give it to my chronic pain patients without fear of repercussions. One of them has Rheumatoid Arthritis, is homeless, and is hooked on Fentanyl due to the pain. It’s hard for me to understand that I can buy this and use it on myself, but I cannot prescribe it for her.

Do you dilute the DMSO for your neck and chest? I have been using the 99% gel from tractor supply and my skin is getting dry and flakey from the irritation.
I appreciate any advice!
Thank you! I'm 75 and 5 years ago, I was in top athletic condition, then injured my spine. Grade 1 spondylolisthesis with severe spinal stenosis at L4/L5. Crippling chronic pain. Declined surgery and opioids and over 4 years have been rehabbing myself from where I could only walk for a few seconds to where I can dance for a few minutes.
For about a month I've been applying DMSO topically to my low back area. It reduces, even removes the pain for a few hours. Combined with all the other therapies I do daily, I'm noticeably more functional with DMSO.
I hadn't thought about it limbering up my joints and tendons, but that makes sense. I'm going to experiment with that.

My MIL has this exact condition. I know she takes medicines but I would really like for her to try DMSO. Should she be concerned with reactions between DMSO and other pharmaceuticals she is taking?
My family & I have used DMSO for 35 years. It’s a miracle for treating severe burns & hematomas. It treats skin irritation & muscle aches.
Use on clean skin (no nail polish). Gloves: use latex. No nitrile. Anything on skin will enter your bloodstream!
I keep a gallon in stock!

I will rub it on my stomach for about 20 minutes (make sure skin is clean and dry). DMSO will react with water if not dry and cause some skin irritation. If I’m going to be home for a day or so, I drink a teaspoon. It will cause an odor, so I don’t do it during the workweek etc.
https://x.com/Akalevi83/status/1850483975887667458

This is a quite small issue, but I’ve experienced ankle pain upon waking consistently for 5-6 years. I bought a 70% DMSO / 30% aloe vera cream about one week ago and started putting it on my ankles after showering but before bed. The ankle pain disappeared after one night’s use and has not returned.
Thank you very much for helping me in so many ways. I found your Substack while trying to help my mother, who is dealing with a large number of conditions you cover. I really would have had no idea where to start helping her were it not for you and your writing.
I am a new user of DMSO to treat arthritis and pain associated with multiple fusion surgeries (ankles) related to undiagnosed hemochromatosis. Dosing is one tblsp with fruit juice daily. Within two hours of my first dose, general foot pain was reduced. Honestly I just "felt better" with a sense of relief. As I move forward with usage over time I plan to withdraw from other medications and will keep you updated on my progress. Cautiously optimistic. Thank you so very much ... !!!!!!
AMD, FYI the “Master Mineral Solution” (chlorine dioxide) anti-parasite protocol includes DMSO. Interesting that it has a primary function similar to both Ivermectin and Fenbendazole, and it, too, has numerous anti-cancer and other testimonials: https://mmstestimonials.co/
I have not yet written about it because many other people already have. These take a long time to do so I am trying to prioritize the topics that aren't written about.
Just wanted to flag this application of DMSO in case you hadn’t heard of it yet.
I’ve forwarded your DMSO articles to two friends with terrible chronic back pain issues. TYVM for writing these.
DMSO is often used to bring MMS into the body or to reach hard to contact regions of it.
🤔Would DMSO have a similar beneficial effect upon Ivermectin/Fenben anti-cancer protocols?
Too long a question to address in a comment. DMSO and Cancer will be later in the series.
We had a client w/ unremitting back pain. She responded beautifully to Zeel. If you overpaint that w/ DMSO, it can be very helpful. We have used a lot of this combination in "downer dogs" (paralytic/paretic), some of which had failed conventional therapies for extended periods before we saw them!
I have been using DMSO recently. I wanted to put it on my legs to help heal my bruises faster and maybe reduce some spider veins, crepe arm skin and sun damage. I have a big toe that went through a sesimoid ectomy a few years ago that can flare up a bit but can manage it with asprin and turmeric. I do not take NSAID's. I am built tall and thin, low body fat, 58 and vain. I mean I look like a 30 year old from a short distance and am trying to keep it that way for as long as possible. I am still very active even running short distances. I'm always loading my kayak, camping and other stuff by myself and my legs take a lot of bumps and scratches,,,thin skin and easily bruise.
I see the bruises healing faster with 99.9 German made DMSO applied liberally a few times a week. I do not always experience the smell. Stinging and smell makes me feel like it's working, doing something. I would like to find a safe applicator so that my palms don't feel weird and wrinkly. I am very afraid of plastics so still just using a glass dropper and apply by hand. I am thinking about taking one drop a day orally with water or olive oil.
That's all in part 2.
For the spider veins, do you use castor oil or aloe vera first and then apply DMSO? Thanks kindly.
Castor oil or aloe protect your skin from irritation but also somewhat decrease the effectiveness of the dmso, IME.
I use a clean organic cotton ball. Makes it a little easier to coat uniformly, rather than having streaks of DMSO running every which way. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GTHEOC
Thank you. Geoff Paine has been blasting DMSO as dangerous and calling for your identity to be revealed. You have outmaneuvered him by presenting all of the data. I believe anonymous publication is good for the world as it was for the American colonies especially in the 1750-1820 time frame.
I really think he doesn't understand the toxicity data or the context behind it. It's very common that people get fixated on what they know and then become blind to a much larger picture. I was amazed that he cited the FAERS data as proof DMSO was deadly without looking through it first or understanding what was in it.
I think he has looked through the data. He has written at least 5 articles on the dangers of DMSO including eye damage in human and animals, rabbit deaths, the odor that makes blind studies difficult, the skin reactions and explosions. He never talks much about the purity of the DMSO (contamination is particularly damages because DMSO can shuttle those contaminates throughout the bloodstream) or the concentration. He has an agenda and he was making me question. I really appreciate your summary of the data about the adverse events in the context of the benefits and in comparison with other drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
I'm just getting going here in the UK. So many facinating comments already! After reading your compelling analysis of DMSO I checked out Sarah Myhill (drmyhill.co.uk) to find that she has recently written about it too. I then checked out Amandha Vollmer's book on healing with DMSO, which is inspiring to those of us interested in understanding how our bodies function and finding natural remedies to everday ailments.
A week ago I started taking DMSO orally, 5ml twice a day, for general aches and pains (tendonitis, bursitis) and poor circulation. So far it's hard to judge any difference but I appreciate it can take weeks.
I suspect the taste (and garlic smell) may be a big turn-off for some people but I find that chewing fennel seeds helps, just as my Indian friends do after eating a spicy curry.
The information on Dr. Myhill’s site is what first made me interested in DMSO. AMD has gone to a whole new level though! I also have the Vollmer book, though I’ve only skimmed it so far.
Sarah Myhill is a true warrior, tackling chronic illness and helping ensure we all have access to information about our options to reverse the damage done by our bullying NHS. AMD is sincere and diligent. It's such a pity he or she has to remain anonymous. I wish more medically-trained people had the courage and humility to challenge the bullies who run our healthcare system. And I wish more ordinary people had the courage to confront the bullies on their behalf by refusing unnecessary treatments and challenging protocols that harm us all.
Everything kills fish. Those things die when you look at them wrong. I won't have them and I get anxiety when I see a tank out in public for which I'm not even responsible. One notable exception being a hospice waiting room. That tank was awesome. If this stuff doesn't even kill fish it's safer than tap water, which (in my experience) does.
Maybe it would be helpful for the Duypetrens contractions in my hands? Perhaps a blend of DMSO with magnesium oil and then some Rolfing? After several needle apeurotmies (?) and an injection, both little fingers are bent way in and I’m considering invasive surgery.
Yes it works for that. Will be covered in a later article.
Oh my, thank you, I look forward to your article.
I have two magnesium oils from Amazon, haven't used yet.
Asutra spray "Pure Zechstein" magnesium chloride
Life-flo spray "from the ancient Zechstein seabed" magnesium chloride "brine"
Also thinking about soaking in epsom salts but DMSO would be more direct.
Haven't found a Rolfer yet. First try with some massage guy who offered only acupuncture instead.
Seems like I will need some deep massage to bring back flexibility over time.
Have also been taking Amazon magnesium supplements: MegaFood 300MG citrate, malate, and glycinate combo (and spinach leaf!). My wife thinks that helps with her calf cramps at night.
I'm cheap. I buy bags of Epsom salt. If you get the pure stuff no additives, it can be taken as supplement. Trick is to stay under laxative dose.
My Dupuytrens & trigger finger improved dramatically with the first dose of using CDS. Now that I know more, I use MMS1 instead. My hand isn't 100%, but close to 90% I'd say. I used to call that hand my "flipper." Now it is a hand again.

DMSO have been a wonderful relieving agent for herpes 1 & 2. Given to me by my boyfriend who was doing secret things behind my back. Yay. But I've lived with it for 30+ years, and DMSO is something I can rely on to ease pain and seemingly send the attack back into dormancy.
How do you apply DMSO for genital herpes flairs? Sorry to be so direct, but if I have extreme stress and breakout, valacyclavir is really hard on the liver....
I just replied to you,but,it didn’t go to you. I went to the top of the comments so you will find my response,there…
Hi there! I JUST saw this response. Send me an email at hall.sandra@protonmail.com, and we can talk about your reply there! :)
Keep spreading the truth M-W Doctor!
Perhaps DMSO has to be 'hidden' because it interferes with Big Pharma's other, more profitable medicines. Just like IVM was denigrated by the FDA (albeit temporarily - while their DEADLY VAX PROGRAM was established.
Unjabbed Mick (UK).
Exactly right!
Shalom MWD!
I stumbled upon your incredible series on DMSO one week after my husband had a stroke which left him in horrible pain, vertigo, exhaustion and partial paralysis of the left side of his face, arm and leg.
I bought liquid DMSO on Amazon and thank God, the pain went away almost instantly every time I applied it to his face, neck and shoulder.
Long story short, I continued to apply undiluted DMSO to the problem areas with cotton pads about 2-3 times a day.
About 2 weeks in, he began to walk without a cane for short periods , and was sleeping less.
Only 3 months after the stroke he walked with me unassisted to a friend's house carrying a guitar (!) and was able to play the guitar and sing flawlessly while standing with one foot on a chair. My jaw was on the floor! My friend asked me why I looked so strange, so I told her,
"You're all witnessing a freakin' miracle right now. This man had a stroke three months ago, and now he's playing his guitar like nothing happened!"
She was speechless .
Doctor, thank you, thank you!!!! You are a Godsend!
I was given an antibiotic twice for sinus infections. I wasn’t told it could damage tendons. After the first dose I had pain and inflammation in my left achilles. 8 months later, following the second dose, my left Achilles became more painful and my right Achilles also became tender and painful.
After reading your article I purchased dmso gel and applied it morning and night. Amazing! After the first dose my pain was 50% less. After the second day, the pain was almost gone and I could walk normally. I’m so grateful! I love to walk and hike and was quite sad to have to cut back on my favorite activity. Thank you so much for getting this information out to all of us!
I have been damaged a few times by western medicine and this last incident was so upsetting. I’m usually very cautious, but my last two sinus infections were so severe, I just wanted to clear them up. So, I take some responsibility in not thoroughly researching the drug before taking it. But, my md knew I had an inflamed tendon and prescribed it anyway. I do feel she should have given me something else.
That is a very common issue with those antibiotics.
Thanks so much for this information. My 80 year old mother had a major bleed stroke in her brain at age 57 as a side effect of hormone replacement therapy. She was told she would never have use of her right side again, but she proved them wrong by toughing her way back to reasonable health and regaining enough mobility and dexterity to handle daily chores such as folding sheets, getting dressed without assistance, gardening, cooking, and so on, though her art career required a major change from being right handed to using mostly her left hand.
She has been using DMSO on her legs for several weeks now and has noticed a huge reduction in pain, discomfort, swelling, and discoloration of the skin. She gave me some of her batch and I'm curious to see what it can do for persistent tinnitus as the result of a surfing injury. I saw tinnitus mentioned once near the beginning of the article, but no mentions after that or in the comments. I'm curious to know how I might administer it in the best way to help rid me of the "guitar leaning against a Marshall stack on 11" squeal that dominates my life 24/7.
I also have tinnitus, and was wondering about the application for it as well. I'm thinking of applying some behind my ear and neck...
I have been periodically (i.e. whenever I remember to) putting a 50% solution with distilled water straight into my ear with glass dropper, and it seems to be helping. After 15 minutes or so I gently remove the excess with a cotton swab, and then for a while my ear canal feels warm. A while after that I clean the canal again and what seems to a combination of ear wax and something flaky (dead skin?) comes out.
The result so far is that I go longer amounts of time without noticing the ringing, and when I do notice it, it seems to be slightly less loud. It also seems to migrate back and forth between my "good" ear (the left one) and my right ear, but at a lower overall level. As I type this first thing in the morning it is only in my right ear, at about 80% of what it was before I started treating it. Then again, I'm of course fully aware of it, given the subject matter. ;-) An hour from now things will likely have changed as I go about my day.
My mom is also continuing to see improvement in her stroke recovery. Her damaged right side seems to be "waking up", and she now has both more feeling and more strength on that side, to the point where I notice it in her gait. She is now using her right hand more in daily tasks, and the other day she was sanding and refinishing some furniture and said "Hey look, I'm sanding with my right hand!". She also says there's a little bit of discomfort in the recovery process, and that when she pushes herself to do more during her day, she really feels it afterward. To that I said that should be expected, just like if you were going through physical therapy after an injury.
We're both very encouraged overall, and we will keep an eye on this thread to see how it's helping others and what information we can share.
My son has very debilitating tinnitus - I am also interested to hear about anything which might help him. Apparently tinnitus is not an uncommon affliction and yet all of the doctors my son has been to just shrug their shoulders. I have ordered some DMSO for him. Hope it works, good luck to you and please update us on your results.
Right after your 1st DMSO article, I fell chasing my chickens🤣, and unfortunately ended up with my elbow getting shoved between metal slats of my deck furniture. Excruciating pain in my elbow, spasming tricep and ribs. No sleep for 2 days, then started slathering DMSO on both sites and BOOM. Blessed sleep, no pain and I was shocked at how fast the bruise cleared up. Just discovered that I actually had an avulsion fracture and my entire tricep tendon is detached.....but not much pain, just general soreness. I have to have surgery now, but you can bet your sweet bippy I am reaching for the DMSO instead of pain killers post surgery. Thank you!!!
Reminds me of how Marijuana was demonized with the advent of to invention of Nylon by the DuPont Family's chemical company, then primarily used in it's fibrous form for rope manufacture, especially for the US Navy; didn't NSAIDS (I can't remember mention of ibuprofen before 1980) check in about the same time as DMSO was being touted even on daytime talk show television?
I was introduced to DMSO back in the 1980's by a veterinarian. I had a dog that had developed mammary tumors and I told the attending vet that I would give her one surgery, and when the tumors came back she would be euthanized when they got large enough to ulcer, as is typical of canine mammary tumors. He did extensive surgery, removing as much of the mammary tissue as possible. In order to help the healing from such extensive resection, he prescribed DMSO topically along the suture line. It took some weeks, but helped her heal fully and she live another 8 years! My next experience with DMSO (aside from using it on horses sore ligaments) was a vet who shared with me his "snake bite remedy" which I keep on hand to this day: DMSO plus Furacin ointment, plus dexamethasone made into a poultice and applied to the poisonous snake bite. It absolutely prevents the sloughing that typically accompanies pit viper bites. I even had a 13 pound terrier struck by a copperhead in the throat, who required critical care for the overwhelming venom, but as first aid I made sure the poultice was applied and she recovered with no sloughing or scarring.
On another related subject: as I understand it the only human disorder that DMSO/MSM was approved for years ago was interstitial cystitis. Recently I have read that there is evidence that IC is connected to biofilms, or possibly cell wall-defective organisms or both in the bladder. Anything else come out about that? So many elderly people develop persistent bacteriuria, for which antibiotic therapy does more harm than good. Might DMSO help?
When I was working as a Thai massage therapist, I had several patients who were jockeys. They tend to be incredibly intelligent regarding their bodies. They told me about DMSO and how they used it on their horses after a race to facilitate recovery. That led to them using it on themselves. I was gifted with it several times, but I never used it. My initial research brought up the solvent issues, etc.
I remembered it was popular with the natural supplement community 20 yrs ago. It seemed suspect to me just the same. It wasn't until I worked with an informed holistic physician that took the time to educate and demonstrate the proper use of DMSO that I began to use it.
He took an old farmer with a lifetime of aches and pains, applied magnesium chloride gel all over and then took a cotton ball dipped in DMSO and dabbed it over the injured areas and tight muscle attachments. He then put the patient in a hyperbaric chamber. The chamber pressure plus the DMSO took the magnesium (#1 remedy of the old docs) to the bone. One treatment removed decades of chronic pain. Then I did the same protocol with stunning results.
I learned of its discovery in a different way. Namely, that a night watchman at a pulp plant noticed deer coming to munch on the piles of refuse each evening. The plant chemist heard about it and made his own observation. It was only the elderly deer and they only munched on one of the 3 piles. Intrigued and knowing that animals have innate wisdom, he studied and tested and was led to the discovery of DMSO. The FDA permits the infusion of it into women's bladder tissues when chronic infections leave the tissue raw and extremely painful. I can't think of any tissue more vulnerable, but this powerful 'solvent' resolves it in one treatment. I've seen it work in many of my elderly patients. Would I label it the miracle cure for any and every thing? That is a red flag to me. I think there is a reasoned middle-ground approach. (for instance, with the recurring bladder infections, if the patient would avoid sugar, they would remain healthy, but once they drifted back, the infections returned, With arthritic conditons, an anti-inflammatory diet will often cure the problem. Transdermal magnesium cures a host of issues. DMSO is no longer needed.) I would include it in my top 10 without a doubt! Great article!!!
MwD... Wonderful reviews. Thank you for your continued efforts to make a difference for your fellow Human.
Thank You Doctor
Another beautiful piece by the one and only, WMD!
DMSO FTW!
I keep DMSO by my bed, in case of heart attack or stroke -- will take a swig. I wish I could use it regularly for various things, such as varicose veins...but since I take a few prescription meds, I can't use it. That's a bummer. If I ever get off these meds, I'll definitely use it.
You can't use DMSO if you take prescription meds? I'm wondering if that just applies to some meds? I take a thyroid med (T3) and a binder but I don't take them at the same time I take DMSO or does that matter?
My understanding is that DMSO makes everything go far deeper into the body, so DMSO not to use when on those. I take Synthroid & a mild BP med. I'll have to ask on the DMSO telegram group again, to be sure, but that's what I understood them to say. I'll report back what I find out. If you've been using it that way, maybe it's okay.
I checked this out on a DMSO telegram group, one said they would still use DMSO, another said they wouldn't. So who knows. I might try a dab on a cluster of varicose veins, just to see if it helps.
I'm giving it a try and so far I've had no issues with my meds, but I will continue to keep my eyes open. Thank you for your update. :)
My wife is weaning herself off unnecessary pharma drugs at the present time. Migraines are gone. Blood pressure is up so we need to work on finding a non pharma substitute.
Fred, about 10 years ago (I’m 64) my BP was considered “pre-hypertensive”. I’m not overweight, don’t smoke, walk three miles 5x a week and eat well but FWIW the entire maternal side of my family is on BP meds.
I started taking 240mg of magnesium glycinate before bed. It took several months but my BP returned to between 110/70 and 115-75 which has been normal for my whole life.
Two comments…one-if your wife wants to try this, have her ease into it. She may have some intestinal cramping at first. Two-I’ve wondered if my results would have been faster if, once used to it, I’d taken more at magnesium in the beginning to build up what must have been depleted???
For some, magnesium has the added benefit of relaxation/better sleep which is why I take it before bed.
Good luck weaning her off pharma. Work on eating Whole Foods/no processed foods and getting some exercise if you aren’t already. My husband and I don’t take ANY meds. We eat high protein, high fat (no oil), low carb (no refined sugar, no flour). Our carbs come from berries and plums! I’m 5’3” and weigh 112. I feel fantastic and I’m not going to follow up with “for my age”. I just feel great. We don’t go to the dr…that seems to help the most😂😂😂
I know what you mean about doctors. At my last checkup they refused my request for an antibody test but instead offered me a shingles shot, pneumonia shot, a flu shot and a Covid shot. My reply was no, no, no and NO.
I don’t think I’ve had a shot since my smallpox vax waaay back many decades ago.😆
Would you mind sharing which brand of mag-glycinate you are taking?
Costco sells a good magnesium glycine
I use Pure Encapsulations…and I buy from Supplements First. Supposedly a small family business. Great customer service❤️
Thank you! :)
Thanks for the great suggestion. I looked it up and it looks promising. Blood pressure med is one of those she wants to keep for now and she is not open to experimentation on her body. So I will see if her BFF can work with her as well as she is further ahead on weaning herself off of Pharmaceuticals.
You’re welcome, Fred!
Maybe she can start by supplementing some magnesium while monitoring the BP to see if it starts easing downward. I wouldn’t want to use both the medication and Mg without monitoring…but perhaps it would make a compelling argument for trying to taper off. Best wishes on this journey. ❤️
She has and uses her blood pressure monitor. We can do that.
Try Panaxea "Past Tense", I have some relatives who have successfully used it
I want to report the success of DMSO + ivermectin in treating my toenail onychomycosis. My left great toenail had a longstanding fungal infection and looked grotesque measuring 1/2 inch in thickness. My wife was so disgusted by the appearance that she wanted me to see a podiatrist to get the toenail surgically removed. I started applying daily DMSO gel + veterinary ivermectin paste. Immediately I started seeing color changes in the nail going from white to orange to red to brown and eventually black and at the same time the nail started becoming thinner and loosening from its underlying attachment. After two months the now shriveled and necrotic previously-infected nail completely detached revealing a normal appearing new nail growing in the nail bed underneath.
Was just reading your recent Tylenol post, which mentioned this article.
I was in a car accident almost 3 months ago. I had no significant injuries other than a sprained thumb, although my car was totaled. I used DMSO gel on the hand and base of the thumb several times a day for two or three weeks, along with wearing a splint for a month or so. There was minor swelling and bruising, but the DMSO managed the pain well enough that I didn't feel the need to take acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
I read your articles on DMSO and was excited to give it a try on my heel. I went to our local Seed & Feed and bought DMSO 99% for horses and farm animals. I was dx with Achilles tendonopothy with a bone spur and acute calcanial deposit. I had a Tenex procedure done by an Orthopedic Specialist. He was able to remove some of the calcification, but said it was the worst he had seen (he is a doctor for the Sacramento Kings and several other professional sports teams). Two years post-surgery and I still had very significant inflammation all around my heel and ankle. I had tried everything from PT, acupuncture, stretching, shock therapy, castor oil packs and every sort of anti-inflammatory supplement on the market! I was very frustrated that I would never really be able to walk more than short distances. I started the DMSO as soon as I got home from the store. I applied it directly from the roller bottle onto the entire heel and ankle area. I have been doing it 5-6 times per week (1x day) and have seen miraculous improvement! The inflammation has gone down by 75%. I have more mobility in my ankle and fit in closed heel shoes! It is unbelievable! I have been walking about a mile several times a week and do not have the usual pain and discomfort. I have noticed that my skin appearance around my heel and ankle has changed- it's a bit dry and wrinkly- so I stop using it for a day. I am so excited to continue using DMSO and hope to be able to wear some of my shoes again! Flip-flops are great for the summer, but I' excited to wear something besides clogs over the Winter months! Thank you soooo much for taking the time to write these articles about the benefits of DMSO!
MWD, I am beyond grateful to have gotten access to your writings. Words simply cannot express how important your work is, and I now have a far more optimistic view of both my future and society's, now that I know about the miracle medicine DMSO and the word is getting out. I've used it recently and had good results on headache concerns, and am super excited to see what it can do for my eye floaters and nearsighted vision. Thank you ever so much!
I purchased DMSO in Australia since reading your first article. I perused some understanding of what the AUS product might be. All product said 99.9% pure. I investigated medicinal routes for purchase, and eventually was denied purchase for some reason. Eventually I found 99.9% pure from Big W, and another industrial retail store who charged 100% more for the same product. I ordered both, and each packet arrived with identical labelling, as the same distributor was the only distributor.
On the label in AUS it says “Poison”. I rang the number provided and asked what poison meant in relation to DMSO and they where completely naive about the product and could not give me any advise about what the poison warning was for. I was interested in taking it orally but have not done so because of the lack of information in AUS.
I had pretty serious surgery in February this year and have recovered very well considering. I am 70 years old. I have been using the DMSO topically on the Key hole surgery and drain hole scares. The scares have been disappearing dramatically over the past 2 weeks of DMSO use. I have several 50+ year old compound fracture injuries, and these seem to have a reduced in arthritic pain since, but time will tell as they are very old injuries. My nighttime dreams seem particularly lucid as well.
After showing articles you have written and discussing DMSO with friends, virtually every AUS person has retreated into the absent voice about DMSO in AUS. They seek only to undermine my suggestions with fear rhetoric. I am Un Vax’d, and No one in AUS is un vax’d … well nearly.. so the hypnosis of obedience to the narrative is suffocating in AUS; but my kids are un vax’d too. My daughter exclaimed the other day whilst shopping that my breath stank. I cheered telling her that the DMSO must be working, so she bought me some nice perfume and a packet of Mouth wash gels suggesting it was a good idea. I am happy to explore DMSO for a longer time. All seems well here except that the Poison warning is a bit stressful as the AUS information pretty much says Do Not Take. But, AUS is an unquestioning hypnotised clone after USA directives.
I completely forgot to mention that acetylcholine esterase inhibitors can give you very vivid dreams!
Also unvaxxed Aussie. I wouldn't worry about the Poison label, that's coming from the corrupt TGA (96% funded by pharma) - they approve poisons like pfizer ,Moderna & Astrazenica and make more natural remedies jump through hoops to get approval. I am also using a DMSO available in Australia that's labelled poison - Bioactive Healthcare. My friend is taking it internally with no problems. Where I am, lots of people are awake or waking up and interested in alternatives to pharma
I am in Aus and just received my bottle today - brand is Swan & Mantis. I saw the "poison" label and "not for therapeutic use". I had a chuckle because I immediately thought of the raw milk situation in this country where it has to retail as "bath milk" because raw milk is so terrible we all are very likely to die if we drink it! Bathing in it is OK apparently.
Oh and of course I thought of how the TGA is such a corporation of unsullied reputation, with all drugs and vaccines carefully tested and scrutinised ("we trust the manufacturer's testing regimen").
But I mainly bought for elderly parents with many aches, pains, arthritis, Diabetes related nerve issues, glaucoma, macular degeneration - and I'm wondering how I will convinve them to take "poison".
Australia has a retailer named after the goal in the movie "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"? Wild!
I’ve been using DMSO on a varicose vein in my leg and on the arthritis in my left thumb for about a week, since reading your last article on DMSO. I haven’t notice much improvement yet in my thumb, but the varicose vein is noticeably smaller. I live an hour away from medical services and plan to keep DMSO on hand to use immediately in case of something more serious like a stroke or heart attack while I get to a hospital. I have also sent these articles to a good friend who just suffered a mini-stroke last week. Hopefully he will try it. Thank you MWD!
May I ask how you’re using DMSO for your varicose veins? Do you rub it directly on the skin where the veins are? Do you use the 99.9% DMSO? Diluting it? Once a day, for how long? Id appreciate any advice you can share.
There should be a book about how exactly one uses this miraculous agent. I read the book Healing With DMSO by Amandha Vollmer. How wonderful this works but she is not specific. If I have a heart attack what do I do? I even went on Youtube to see what people are saying. If anyone can recommend a book that actually tells you how to apply it, how much to use, how often. I would appreciate it.
I got her book a few weeks ago. Has good info and she mentions in the beginning she will include dosages later in the book but as far as I can see, she never does.
I got the book, "DMSO Decoded" which does a much better job of giving guidance on physical illness or conditions that need healing and dosages and formulas to use. Much better book in that regard
I read Amandha’s book too and still dont feel like I understand how to implement DMSO specifically to my issues. I tried the 70% gel on my varicose veins that STH (above comment) used on her veins. Used it every day for 2 weeks….didnt help at all. Not sure what Im doing wrong…
Same here. Mine aren't really all that advanced, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference though I've taken it quite regularly over a couple of weeks. Since the 99% gel is rather uncomfortable as far as I'm concerned, I use 70% DMSO with Aloe Vera instead now. I wonder if it would help to take it orally? Or perhaps add an essential oil that is good for blood circulation? I found that cypress, juniper, helichrysum (curry tree), and vetiver are good for that. I'll probably try...
The book with all the lifesaving information is called "The One Minute Cure," which cures virtually all diseases. and has been suppressed by Big Pharma since the 60's because natural "Cures" cannot be patented and turned into "Cash Cow" drugs for Big Pharma to make their usual $Billions from, that is- "The One Minute Cure" by Madison Cavanaugh, second edition.

Maybe yours are more advanced? Mine started to show up again and I used the gel again and they were gone in the morning. But it does seem temporary.
Actually mine are considered minor per vascular doc. I appreciate the tips you gave me though. I guess DMSO isnt a miracle for everything for all of us. Everyone is so different. Have a peaceful weekend STH.
Please don't spam. I have to clean the non-dmso comments out of here.
The book with all the lifesaving information is called "The One Minute Cure," which cures virtually all diseases. and has been suppressed by Big Pharma since the 60's because natural "Cures" cannot be patented and turned into "Cash Cow" drugs for Big Pharma to make their usual $Billions from, that is- "The One Minute Cure" by Madison Cavanaugh, second edition.
I don't understand why nobody is saying HOW to use this!

This reader says they mix the DMSO with aloe vera. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-remarkable-history-and-safety/comment/74157597
I used it topically (70% gel) for a few days and then sort of forgot about it. It’s still much less noticeable 6 wks later.

How do you use the DMSO for your varicose veins?
Thank you!

You’re over thinking it. I don’t measure anything just dab a little gel on clean skin when I think about it.
how do you apply? how much and how often?
I was recently discussing DMSO with a young pediatric general surgeon resident at a top 20 med school. I He said they use DMSO to kill cells in their research work. Any idea what he could have been referring to? Stronger concentration?
I am pulling out of a very faulty memory bank, but I thought the upper end concentration that would not kill blood cells was c. 30%. My clinical notes are 40+ years old, so I probably couldn't find those references. It was LONG before the internet.
Dimethyl sulfate (Me2SO4)? A mixture of both would probably be worse still. Strong alkylating agent. Perhaps this resident ran out of galantamine?
Brainwashed just like the seasoned "professionals".
If I see 10 patients in a day, 8 of them are leaving with instructions on how to use it for their condition.

I had a nasty foot rash that nothing would help. I used DMSO and immediately the next day all the blisters broke and in a few days, it all peeled off and was like new. DMO also stoped the itching immediately. I swear by it.

I stopped getting spinal epidurals. I use DMSO daily for multiple things. I injest about a full dropper for pain. (A little garlic like breath) I've mixed it 50/50 with distilled water to use with a nebulizer, I put some in coconut oil to rub on my back for more pain relief.

Soon, corticosteroids will be seen as malpractice. Degenerative joints leqd to injections, which leads to further degeneration, which leads to replacement$. They should be an intervention of last resort. Since I learned about DMSO, I have injected exactly zero steroids.

Half teaspoon of DMSO in water and 30 minutes later my usually high blood pressure(148/90) went down significantly to 109/70. That’s way better than the meds I used to take (Edarbyclor) and not sure how long the effect lasts but will keep testing my BP and report back. I got the idea after reading the substack on GI treatments and people taking it orally then tried it. Figured from other posts by the MWDr that it relaxes and expands blood vessels and it sure looks like it does! Hoping no bad side effects but thinking maybe a small dose morning and night might be a solution to keep pressure in normal range 🙏🏻. Love the idea as at 73 years of age perhaps it helps my tendons that I use daily for golf too?
I used DMSO for a chronic shoulder injury along with an intense myofascial release regimen and was awed by the DMSO muscle pain reduction.

For topical pain relief, and healing, add castor oil to the DMSO regimen. 70% Castor Oil and 30% DMSO. Castor oil provides the healing, and DMSO supercharges the absorption of the castor oil.

We've been applying DMSO cream for some time off and on, and never worried about putting on a clean shirt after. Have had no problems, and have had significant pain relief! Plastic, on the other hand, will be destroyed by it. I tried it in a cheap little nebulizer, and it ate the nebulizer. LOL!

This summer I was led (by the Lord), in a curious way, to try combining DMSO with cod liver oil,.. this in the wake of having developed extreme knee and hip pains that felt a lot like I imagined arthritis would. (only on the right side though some how). I took a teaspoon of DMSO in Orange Juice with 2 large capsules of Cod Liver oil and went to bed. That night my knee and hip did not awaken me, and the next day I had no pain at all. This after just one dose! The best news is that, though I only take the DMSO and Cod liver oil intermittently, the hip and knee pain has not returned. I hope this might be helpful information for you!

I started out smelling pretty bad (according to my wife!) when using topical DMSO but over a few weeks (she loves me a lot...) it diminished to almost completely unnoticeable. Which A Midwestern Doctor has mentioned does happen for many people.
I use a 50% dilution and I'm one of those who finds it stings like hell. However, that also has diminished to about a tenth or less than I started from. Hardly irritating at all, regardless of applying it to a new area.
I've been using it topically on a really stiff neck I've had for over 40 years after an injury. Initially it started aching badly for about four days but in the same way as it does if I've had some kind of "body work" done on it (massage etc.). Then it slowly improved by about 80-90% over a few weeks. I attribute that to it feeling as if it was suddenly going through a range of motion that it doesn't normally go through. I am guessing that's something to do with pain reduction resulting in my nervous system not blocking the movement - that's a real physiological behaviour.

DMSO, aloe and water helped my severe sunburn heal but especially helped with the pain.

After research, we use DMSO for our daughter with Down syndrome . We have seen improvement in her verbal and social activity.
Also, my son-in-law was burned by gasoline in a flash fire accident and my daughter called me to come quick. I went back over my notes in the 5 minute drive to their house where I began administering DMSO and aloe vera 50/50 mixed to his face, neck, hands and arm. I also used sodium chlorite to neutralize the acid on his skin caused by burns and then washed it off after 5 min. That relieved much of the pain.
But along with God’s healing power, the DMSO/aloe was the miracle solution. For 3 days, we debraided/cleaned 3 times a day, and applied the solution. Then we switched to a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid that draws in water and, I’m telling you, there is no scarring! I wish I could post pics.
We have also used DMSO on kitchen burns and it’s really hard to believe how quickly it works.

I have a low back molar that dentist said was probably infected under the tooth. Sad he was kind of worried about that. Doesn’t hurt. Eventually I’ll have it removed. Meanwhile, DMSO and carnivore diet is what I’m doing. I’m doing so much better.
Four years ago I was fatigued in pain and couldn’t even walk the mailbox. Now, I’m exercising, happy, no pain, No fatigue .
Doctor told me for years ago that this was all just old age and that I should learn to manage it. I was 57 and that did not sit well with me. Of course he put me on statins and high blood pressure pills, and pain meds. I only took the BP pills.
Went to another doctor and he found two tick borne illnesses. That doctor died.
I was on my own.
I finally figured it all out.
It’s been a journey.
So grateful for you as you put me on the path to using DMSO.

DMSO undoubtedly cured a painful varicocle affecting my left testicle which I had since I was 16 years old until 42 years old. I applied it topically to my scrotum once or twice per day in an attempt to cure the varicocele, benefit fertility and health, and for "moderate" to severe pain. I am being very conservative with my "moderate" pain report, as it consistently felt like one typically would feel about one half hour after being kicked in the balls, only for 26 years straight. Within 15 to 30 minutes of the first application the pain completely subsided, and returned to a lesser degree in about 12 hours. An additional application caused the pain to subside for another 12 hours, returning at an even lesser degree. An additional application caused the pain to subside for 24 hours, and again returned at a much lesser degree. An additional application caused the pain to subside for 48 hours, and upon returning, it was very mild. After one additional application, the pain never returned again. It was about a week before I even thought I possibly felt something mildly uncomfortable, but I wouldn't even call it pain, and it may have been psychosomatic. I have yet to use ultrasound or other imaging, but the formerly palpable "bag of worms" (enlarged veins) are without a doubt completely gone. If I *think* I feel something undesirable, or at least once per week if I don't feel anything at all, I will prophylactically apply DMSO to maintain the obvious health benefits, as it seems to be curative, and I'm not running a study on myself to see if the condition remains in remission; I will have kids someday and that's why I refused surgey, as I won't gamble with modern medicine possibly butchering me irreversibly. I always knew a cure existed and I always thought of DMSO, but I was still under the fear spell from the propaganda lying that DMSO is harmful. Whenever modern medicine tells you there is no cure for something, beware. As the good doctor's remarkable post accurately explains, DMSO is one of the most important healing medicines in the world, but the FDA and their globalist puppetmasters tried to murder DMSO, and my unborn

Thank you so much for sharing this information on DMSO. I recently tried some in a roll-on form I purchased commercially, on my husband’s diabetic neuropathy feet. After the first few applications, he began to get feeling back in his feet. This, after 9 years of basically numb feet.😳 We are so pleased to have discovered this wonderful substance!! Thanks again for sharing!! 🙏🏻

After all modern, Western treatments failed for my high-grade, urothelial carcinoma (bladder/urinary tract cancer - 10 recurrences with spread to urethra and both ureters), I began using a 50% DMSO solution, on my own, in my bladder for 20-25 minutes (interstitial cystitis protocol, but 180ml instead of 50ml). The results have been amazing, thank you Lord Jesus. Medical answer was to perform an advanced, radical cystectomy, meaning surgeon takes everything but my right kidney and urethra (post prostate), to include all pelvic lymphnodes - barbaric. The Lord God said, "No."
DMSO is known to be cytotoxic to cancer, and it's being proven out in my own treatment. I do 2x/wk installations, after high-dose intravenous vitamin C treatments (also cytotoxic to cancer at very-high cellular concentration levels). DMSO theoretically transports the IVC into the cells for the double effect.
All of my symptoms have disappeared, including kidney pain and tightness around prostate. I do allow DMSO to sit in my urethra for 5 minutes, and then go into a strange, yoga-like position for 15 minutes with my feet on a vibration plate, to get the solution 'up' the urethras.

This experience very minor as a health matter but shows how potent DMSO can be.
I had a notch in my nose since seven years old. Long scary wart hanging down from nose. Doctor burned it off twice, didn't work. Volleyball in the face at recess knocked it off, bled, gone for good. But left a notch behind. Rim of nostril, right in front. Not even that bad cosmetically but a missing piece.
DMSO orally, a teaspoon a day for two months. Did not apply anything topically to face. The nose is complete 65 years later. Cartilage, matching fresh skin, all there as if it never happened.
Also fixed my knees, weak tendon damaged wrist, vanished a 40 stitch scar above my knee (stitched in ER by Dr. Yoho), all sorts of positive effects.

This is fabulous to see! I've been using DMSO for over a year now and I have 2 gallons in backstock, so critical do I find this substance.
It's helped with so many aches, pains, injuries, and with helping other substances get further into my skin when desired (like CBD for pain, chlorine dioxide for infections, castor oil for joint pain, magnesium for muscles).

I have been using DMSO for nearly a year and I will always have some in the house. I have over a yard of scars and all have softened with DMSO even though they are years old. One scar on the back of my neck, which has been operated on 3 times over the last 30 years, was really twisted and tight and my spine was out of alignment. Since using DMSO the scar has softened and untwisted and is not nearly as noticeable. I used it on a skin infection very effectively. Because it carries whatever you put with it deep into the skin, I have used tea tree oil on foot /nail fungus and then sprayed with DMSO and it has helped a lot. I’ve used it on my dogs because It’s safe if they lick it. I haven’t been made aware of bad breath but at times I can smell something different on my body. I’m not sure others smell it, but it’s a small price to pay.

Anecdote: my 60+ knee recently starting giving me fits for no discernible reason. It was getting worse. My chiro suspects ACL or PCL tear and sent me for an MRI. While waiting for the results, but I stumbled upon an article about DMSO. My husband happened to have a roll on bottle, vet prep, diluted with aloe gel that he had used for a detox protocol. I slathered it on my knee, went to bed and .... 4 days later I have yet to get another of the "gotcha" pains that had been getting more frequent when I straightened my knee. I'm still waiting on the MRI results.
I had been rubbing Frankincense eo on my knee. I'm now applying the Frankincense, and a magnesium gel, after the DMSO twice a day.

Let me add that horsey people, including race horse veterinarians, have been using DMSO for many years. It is front and center of most performance horse operations. I think this is because that horse leg injuries can be notoriously hard to treat because well, you can't really tell a horse to stay off that leg etc.,,,,so effective topicals or other noninvasive treatments, like DMSO, are really important. Bascially the veterinarian side of DMSO should give the humans, who might want to try it, confidence because for many years it has been used on horses, many very high dollar horses, with no downside that I've heard of. After listening to this podcast, I'm finally going to try it on myself since I have a big toe that will never be the same after multiple injuries (horses!) and surgery.

I've been using DMSO for almost 60 years (my best friend's dad, in the 1st grade, was a Veterinarian) and I still have bottles of Chlorophyll & Mint pills all over the place, to blunt the smell, from the lower refinement days. Now all you have to do is buy the "Non-diluted 99.995% Low Odor Pure Pharma Grade Liquid." I have it on my knee (with little cartilage left) and a scrape on my wrist as we speak. I've been buying it in gallon jugs for decades because I give SO much of it away (I'm in the fitness industry and manufacture the squat device called the Manta Ray). I've had many customers who were Olympic and pro athletes and one gold medal winner said: "there would be no serious Olympic records without DMSO" :)
I even have a text doc printout I give people, but what you all need to know (I haven't listened to the interview yet) is, NEVER put DMSO on the pad of a bandaid and cover your skin with it wet! Let it air dry THEN cover it, if need be... DMSO is just too strong for a "covered wet" application (trust me, I found out the hard way :) Another tip: if you're in a hurry to dress a wound, or to just get dressed soon after application, apply Arnica Gel over DMSO and it will not only dry much more quickly, but Arnica is a great healing aid as well.
I'm SO happy to see this topic addressed here! I've always called DMSO, "the miracle shit".

I've read your informative words Mr Midwestern Doctor and have decided to trial iDMSO on people I know who need the help.
I tried it, dismissed itt but then reframed my findings.
No it was not instant ( I did feel a short lived relief) but no I didn't consider my own mantra. If it's natural and does no harm remember all healing takes time and patience.
It did heal shortly afterwards.

I have been following orthomolecular medicine for many years but you had something to add to that. DMSO has transformed my many symptoms after a brain, head and neck injury and csf leak and I am most grateful.

I'm going to start with an anecdote on another piece you wrote: I used two drops of DMSO on a hemorrhoid I had for years. It wasn't massive, but it wasn't small either. And after a single dose, it shrank to the size of a grain of sand. That was over a month ago.
I have been purchasing DMSO from the DMSO store and using it for months and feeling an overall improvement in my health.
Love dmso. Helped me heal from Remdesivir poisoning and all the other drugs that injected me with the I had no knowledge of. After detoxing, it definitely helped heal the lung scar tissue. Amazing stuff!

My sister has been using DMSO for floaters for like a month and she has almost nothing now. In the beggining she did it every 2 days bc it gave her some kind of little burning at first but now she does it every day. She mixed 10 drops of castor oil with 1 drop of DMSO when she started, now she added one more of DMSO. But she was using it also for a tooth for almost two weeks, pure of course and few drops each time, that may have help too with the floaters, I think.

I had a retinal bleed in my R eye in 2022, I used manuka honey eye drops and lowered my BP . It went away after a couple of months. I had a smaller eye bleed in the L eye in 2023, same tx same result. About 6 weeks ago I had a large grey out of my R eye and immediately used 25% DMSO gel (Jacobs Lab) and a little aloe on my eyelid which completely cleared it in less than 5 minuets. (I was racking up a lot of screen time.) About 6 days later a smaller grey out in the R eye and again I immediately used 25% gel on my closed eyelid. No issues since then. Thanks you for the amazing info you have provided for DMSO! I pretty much have had so much success with various issues using DMSO topically and I am so appreciative for your extensive information!

I may have accidentally made an eye story for you. My husband's eyesight had been deteriorating steadily and quickly. He is 43 and was up to bifocals. I had just started him on selenium (600 mg of the Youngevity brand daily). He had an ingrown toenail, so I was putting DMSO on it three times daily. In two weeks, his eyes healed so much that he no longer has to use glasses except to look at things very close up (he's farsighted). Could that much DMSO have impacted his eyes/interacted with the selenium?

I used DMSO on my eyes I couldn’t tell pink from orange or red differently. They all looked almost the same in a game with colors was almost always wrong. And got laughed at a lot . 9 months ago I started putting DMSO in my eyes one drop 3 to 4 times a week 100% strength. I now see the colors very well. I did a eye exam and I usually read the middle line, I read the bottom line with each eye . Thanks for having a article on DMSO and the eyes [received via email]
I used to struggle with uveitis and for years had synechia (adhesions) in my eyes related to my (now past rheumatoid arthritis). I used DMSO for a couple of months after your initial articles and haven’t had any bouts of uveitis since, despite engaging in the reading style that often triggers synechia induced spasms (and then iritis). Since all my symptoms have resolved I stopped using steroid drops and haven’t had anyone look again for synechia that I finally don’t feel anymore... doesn’t seem like much of a point.

I stopped getting spinal epidurals. I use DMSO daily for multiple things. I injest about a full dropper for pain. (A little garlic like breath) I've mixed it 50/50 with distilled water to use with a nebulizer, I put some in coconut oil to rub on my back for more pain relief.

I had a nasty foot rash that nothing would help. I used DMSO and immediately the next day all the blisters broke and in a few days, it all peeled off and was like new. DMO also stoped the itching immediately. I swear by it.

Thank you for all the incredible info you share. I have been using DMSO for pre-cancer spots on my face and one is completely gone, the other is about 50% gone.
Also, one of the ladies in my trial for cataracts, her floaters have completely vanished. Cataracts are still there, but she's noticed a dramatic change as they were present all the time and now: nothing.
I had just started working with DMSO in my patients, and after your EENT article came out I noticed ghosting in the right eye [due to a monocular diplopa there]. I mixed up a 20% solution and used a couple drops in my affected eye. I woke up the next day and it was corrected. To this day, if I notice anything off with my vision, DMSO is my go to.

Interesting anecdote since using dmso orally my tonsils started to grow back after being removed as a kid - not necessarily a good thing but curious all the same

DMSO was in every horse barn in the 1970’s any lameness, first got treated by rubbing down the horses legs. We were all using it without gloves, just giving the lags a massage. Weird that you could taste it the minute it got on your skin, sort of garlic like. But I knew at that time people were also using it for arthritis and other health issues. You could buy it over the counter in any health food store. So i grew up with the product was popular.

I got IV DMSO after an optic nerve stroke and I’m pretty sure it saved my eyesight in that eye.
I had a conjunctival cyst on my eye for 3 days. On day 2 I asked my Girl to have a look in my eye for it felt I had an eyelash in it...I left it until the 3rd day then remembered & hadn't really used DMSO before. Aaaanyway, I dabbed a 50% mix on my eyelid & it was gone by morning.
Yes. We have tried DMSO. It has worked for finger RA and plantar faciitis mixed with som topical Hydrocortisone cream and done well, but has not moved the needle on her hips.

In the past I've found that the longer you've suffered from a condition, the less likely DMSO is going to help. It works great as a topical analgesic for my muscle pulls, joint aches, etc., but has had no effect on the neuropathy I've been suffering from for years.

We have been using several of the therapies you have informed us of. My husband has been doing UBI with ozone. I had hoped it would help his Alzheimer's. I believe brought on by 5 years on Lupron that depleted his testosterone and his ability to make it. Diagnosed because he has a family history and 2 Alzheimer genes. Idiot neurologist who diagnosed never checks to see if there could be another reason. After 12 weekly treatments, it did not appear to help with memory but he also has metastatic prostate cancer, so he continues to do it once a month. We started the DMSO and that seems to be working. I started putting 2/3 teaspoon DMSO with a teaspoon of galactose in his coffee each morning, which he sips between work out classes. He puts honey in his coffee so it masks the taste. I have decided to try without the galactose because it has become very expensive. ($120 for 7 oz) with all the other supplements he takes it adds up. If I see him digress without I will add it back in. I could see results but by afternoon he was getting very agitated (this was happening before I started the DMSO not because of it). I started giving him 2 teaspoons after breakfast in juice and again 2 teaspoons in the afternoon, with good results. I also make sure he has a healthy diet, organic, grass fed, etc. Is he cured? NO but he's functioning a lot better.

DMSO Success Stories:
1. Our dog had a large stacked tumor behind her ear that was bleeding incessantly. We had to wait 6 weeks before the vet could fit her in to remove it, so I decided to start applying dmso as I was in the middle of reading the dmso series. I soaked an organic cotton swab with 100% dmso and added a dime-sized blob of aloe and three drops of iodine, then held the swab to the tumor for about 1 minute. I followed this procedure 5 days per week for 6 weeks and the tumor was almost gone and minimally bleeding by the time she went yesterday to have it removed. I wish I could post the before & after photo here as it was such an astonishing improvement and has convinced several of my family members to “buy in” to dmso’s healing powers. (See before & after photo here: https://substack.com/@bwarne0/note/c-166285724?r=1b45hf&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action)
2. My son fractured his ankle playing soccer and the doctor said it would most likely take 7 weeks to heal. I applied a 70% DMSO/30% aloe mixture with a soaked organic cotton swab twice per day for three weeks until his first follow-up appointment. At his three-week appointment, he was declared healed and was given full release for physical activity.
3. My husband applied the 70/30 dmso/aloe roller from the dmso store to a worrisome mole. It took about 3 weeks of daily application for the mole to scab over and fall off.
4. I’ve been applying dmso/aloe to my varicose veins on my legs for about 8 weeks. I recently increased to 100% because I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. They are definitely starting to fade now. However, I was looking forward to my annual vision exam scheduled two weeks ago because my vision had started to become blurry. It turns out my vision had improved by .5 in my left eye and .25 in my right eye, and I needed a new contact prescription. I’m sure this is a result of my dmso use as my vision is horrible and never randomly improves.
At this point, I’ve successfully convinced my parents, sister, and in-laws to purchase and start using dmso for various issues. My mom has experienced immediate relief for her Morton’s neuroma. My husband jokes that he’s going to buy me a shirt that says “Do you even dmso, bro?”
Thank you so much for all of the time and energy you are pouring into this newsletter. You are very much appreciated!

I gifted a 70YO friend with some 99.9% DMSO in a glass jar.
After the first day of use:
“I've used the liquid topically and rested for an hour and pleased to say that I wasn't stiff on rising as I usually am.”
After three days of use:
“I'm administering the liquid daily and thus far have noticed a change in the sciatica symptoms, less intensity. Lower back pain more of a dull ache, not shooting pain as before.”
You are making a difference, doctor, and I’m happy to share information about this wonderful umbrella therapy with friends and family. Of course I share the precautions and protocol suggestions too, like applying it topically to clean skin in a concentration that the individual patient tolerates well. Thank you!

I’ve had great success using DMSO ( only rose scented without aloe vera) to reduce size of my prostate. I had an enlarged prostate - I am 79 - and had difficulty with nighttime urination. I started applying DMSO to the perineum every morning after my shower- after 3 months marked improvement in flow - now at 6 months almost no problem and flow is very good at night.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-are-umbrella-therapies-and-why/comment/165813721
Using the rose scented cream DMSO has caused no problem - just make sure it is the one without aloe vera - no burning sensation! I apply some to my index finger after thorough cleaning of perineum in shower and spread on .
We are having the same wonderful experience with DMSO! We wish others who are caught on the medical industry merry go round would give it a try, especially for pain and wounds. Recently, we applied chlorine dioxide spray let it dry a bit, then added 70% DMSO gel to quickly heal road rash and swelling after a fall — miraculous!
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-are-umbrella-therapies-and-why/comment/165835237
If you are asking about use on livestock, I apply it directly to wounds— 70% with some added Betadine— (pour on, dab on, or use small spray bottle) and also some topically to their belly area and inner thighs where there is the least hair/wool. If they need an antibiotic, I use oral capsules and mix the powder with a small amount of the DMSO alone because I don't know if the iodine would degrade it, and use the DMSO/iodine mix directly on the wound at the same time.
For mastitis, spread the DMSO/iodine over the udder thoroughly.

I used a mixture of half DMSO and half 2 percent Lugol’s iodine on my knee when I wrenched it a couple years ago. It helped tremendously with the pain and it seemed to speed up healing. I couldn’t put the mixture on at night because it was so energizing that it kept me awake.
I also did ionic foot baths every few days, which helped with pain and probably sped up healing.

An update on my success with DMSO. As a treatment for arthritis in hands and wrists, it has enabled me to stop taking sustained release ibuprofen and additional paracetamol, plus the omeprazole that was prescribed to avoid side-effects. I had been taking these for over five years. I apply 70% DMSO several times a week, plus take DMSO and MSM internally. Once a week or so, I might experience an ache in the wrist that threatens to stop me sleeping, but an application of DMSO removes the ache within a minute or two, facilitating sleep.
DMSO was also helpful in the early stages of a serious wrench to my knee. But the knee remained painful, especially to kneeling, for over three months, and I eventually had x-rays and ultrasound. No remaining damage to ligaments was found but there was some excess fluid in the joint under the kneecap: the doctor was able to see the residual swelling that I had not identified myself when simply looking down at my knee. The doctor knew of no treatment options: he said that I simply had to wait and see if it would “heal itself”. He did suggest physiotherapy, but there was a month wait for a first appointment. I proceeded to apply DMSO twice daily again, specifically around that area. Within days the pain was reducing, and after a week I could kneel again without discomfort.
DMSO is also proving useful in the first aid kit for promoting healing of wounds and skin abrasions, which are not uncommon in our rural location and life-style.

WMD, you and others have often remarked that DMSO tastes bad: and so it did to me, when I first began taking it orally, perhaps about a year ago. Now, however, I find that it no longer tastes foul: it’s still bitter, but it also has a sort of sweet taste, a little like gin (but not alcoholic, of course!).

I have been involved in studying integrative medicine for about 10 years and have run a radio show for a year talking with people like the Midwestern Doctor on the air on various subjects. I have found the information that he posts is some of the best that is out there especially on DMSO. 10 months ago I sensed that I was losing my short term memory and was listening to a bunch of Dr. Thomas Levy's videos talking about high dose vitamin C and Methylene Blue. I had been on the high does vitamin C for about 10 months to get rid of my cataracts and by the way it worked. I started taking the Methylene Blue mixed with ascorbic acid while still taking high does vitamin C (High Dose is 20 to 30 grams a day) about 8 months ago and have found that my short term memory has improved substantially along with my cognition. I just started taking DMSO orally at a rate of 1 TSP in 4 oz of water along with two glasses of distilled water with 5 grams of sodium ascorbate each day for the past week and I have been amazed at how great I feel mentally and physically. By the way I turned 80 years old this past June. I will attempt to keep u up on any new changes that I find. Thank you Midwestern Doctor for all you do.

I take 16 drops of Meth Blue in the morning in distilled water with 1g of plain ascorbic acid and 16 more drops the same way at around 6pm with ascorbic acid. I take vitamin c throughout the day about 1700mg of encapsulated liposomal every 2 hours and I take 6 oz of distilled water with 5 g of sodium ascorbate in the morning after breakfast and 1 tsp of DMSO with 4 to 5 oz of distilled water 2 to 3 hours after breakfast and another 6 oz of distilled water with 5 g of sodium ascorbate 10 min after taking the DMSO in the afternoon. I use all the different types of vitamin C during the day. 1g Ascorbic acid with the Meth, 1 packet of Liv On liposomal in the morning 20 encapsulated liposomal through out the day till bed time and than 1 more packet of Liv On liposomal before bed. Don't expect you body to accept that much Ascorbic or sodium Ascorbic acid without having several bowel movements through out the day as it is cleared through you kidneys and bowels but the liposomal is absorbed by your fat cells and doesn't cause bowel problems so you might want to start off slow with the ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbic and use mostly liposomal as it is eaiser on your stomach. Using the Meth Blue is something you should start off with small doses like 5 to 8 drops until you see how your body reacts. I not sure how much DMSO I will ramp up to till I see how my body reacts to the current dose over the next month or so. If you interested in more info on vitamin C and Meth Blue you can find many videos that are very informative by Dr. Thomas Levy at the following link. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dr.+Thomas+levy+utubes&iar=videos&t=newext&atb=v375-1 Let me know how you do..

I’ve been in chronic pain for decades. I’ve been using DMSO with some relief ever since learning about it from this Substack. But, the relief I’ve been able to get so quickly and radically has come from addressing an UFG. I’ve been Keto, then Carnivore, then Animal-based Whole Foods, nothing has helped as much as addressing the UFG (upper fermenting gut) with VitC and Lugol’s Iodine!!

I've been using garlic in capsules whenever I feel any flu stymptoms and it always work for me. I take 5000 mg before sleep, one time, and 2000 mg for at least one more day, 3 times a day, with each meal, or until I feel the symptoms have gone. I also use some mouth spraying of colloidal sylver, or DMSO (70%) during the day.

My husband has never had pain before until this year (just turned 70), and he's the one who keeps getting bit by ticks. The DMSO helps against the pain, but I do wonder if there's something else wrong.

I was in pain like that, and would be awake all night because my legs would hurt if I didn’t move them often, and hurt like crazy when I did move them. I had pain in my neck, back and shoulders too, but the knees were the most devastating. Even though I knew it was bad for me I still took Advil, in as small quantities that I could tolerate. But luckily I found a good naturopathic doctor who tested me extensively and concluded that I had Lyme disease. I never had a positive test for Lyme, but she was able to figure it out from blood tests and my symptoms, also that I had been sick from a tick bite a few years before this started. I followed her protocol and am now recovered and pain free. I am also in my 70 s, but it turned out it was not just old age.
The dmso did help along with baking in the sun, but I also took specific herbs for Lyme along with some antibiotic. My real healing happened after I quit the antibiotics and just took the herbs.

I have chronic digestive issues that caused low back pain. I started taking psyllium and colostrum and coconut water. The pain is L4, L5 and also as things move through the colon. As things start moving, the pain only lasts a short time. I cannot even take a drop of zeta aid since it causes digestive pain and burning in colon and stomach. Salt, Vitamin C also do this. I go to a Gohl trained Chiropractor, which helps. And I put DMSO on my abdomen, every night. Things are getting better and I walk and lift weights. Foam rollers really help too! Do you think there is a correlation to spyder veins and varicose veins to these issues?

We seem to have handed it out to so many other folks that we've actually gone through quite a bit now one way or the other. Relatives horses, brother's coworker who melted his welding mask on the side of his face, friend with arthritis, friend with recent brain surgery, and the list goes on. :) And we use some ourselves both internally and externally depending on what the issue we are trying to address is. So it is very helpful to know that if we are keeping a few extra bottles around to have for ourselves and to share with others, there is no need to worry about it not being useful in the future.

Third post on my very sore hip. First post reporting DMSO topically applied, AMD (A Midwestern Doctor) replied that it is hard to go that deep. Second post began one tsp 100% DMSO per 8 oz of water, while continuing naproxen. Physical therapy alone didn't resolve the pain. the meantime, I was going on a trip which required lots of walking so I ordered a wheelchair for the airports.
Third post is that the DMSO, along with continued exercises from physical therapy have worked!

I have been using DMSO for several issues over the last few months and am consistently amazed by its efficacy. My son had been suffering from a recurring scalp infection for years. We had tried so many alternative treatments! Two rounds of Rx antibiotics helped temporarily, but the infection would come back after 2 weeks. Before he left for college, I gave him a spray bottle of 50% DMSO combined with Lugols iodine, colloidal silver, and cassia hydrosol. I threw everything I had at it!! He said two applications of the spray has been enough to clear it by 90%. He was really impressed with how quickly it worked.

Hi there Doctor, thank you so much for all of the information you’ve been posting about DMSO.
I’ve used it for muscle pain and it’s been astonishing how quickly and thoroughly it worked. I’ve tried it again for something else now.. tinnitus.
I’ve had this for years but this year it went off the scale in one ear. A really, really loud “static” sound which sounded and felt like my brain was fizzing. I was getting desperate as it wasn’t something I could distract myself from and the sound relief app in my phone wasn’t loud enough to cover it.
I’m only 4 days in but it’s receded into a different league. For most of the day it’s barely noticeable and one morning I woke up to silence! I thought at first I’d suddenly gone deaf until a heard birds singing.
I can’t begin to explain the relief, even if it stays at this level it’s a win for me. I was told by a consultant there was nothing that could be done about it so I am deeply grateful I came across you and your wonderful work giving these health treasures the light of day. Thank you.
Yes of course. I’m using a DMSO solution made up of 50% DMSO and 50 % pure distilled water. I’ve sprayed this inside my ear, on the side of my neck and the back of my neck just under the scalp line. (my neck has an issue too) It’s definitely working for me, the tinnitus hasn’t yet gone but it’s massively improved.
I’ve had no bad reactions to it but it’s always wise to patch test and as is always said consult with a professional if in doubt.

Interesting. I put DMSO on my foot for some arch pain before bed this week. I slept more fitful. May have to run an experiment. I’ve been using DMSO and after it dries, apply my red light. Seems to help. AMD promised some info on red light use with DMSO at some time.

.. I get shooting pains in the middle of the night from the head of my right 1st metatarsal. No other sn or sx so we conclude it is part of my peripheral neuropathy from chemo 10 years ago.
If I apply ~100% DMSO to the joint, wrap the foot in Saran wrap, and cover with a sock the pain is totally eliminated for the night. (I scrub new Saran with DMSO to remove any surface treatments and rinse/dry it before reuse to remove perspiration toxins.)
If I take 6 tsp of ~100% DMSO orally at bedtime, I do not need the foot application. To prevent tolerance from developing I do not take the oral dose on weekends so I still do the foot application then.
As an aside, I am considering the benefit of a one week DMSO holiday since I have been on it for at least a year now. Any MWD comments?
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-heals-the-gut-and-cures/comment/153330213
I made an exhaustive study of plastic wraps and their components which I have outlined elsewhere on MWD. I concluded that washed and reused Saran was fit for my purpose at age 82. If I were 32, I might think differently. Of note, there is a pure polyethylene food wrap made in Japan but it is not distributed in the US. There is also pure polyethylene electronics packaging tubing available in the US but a minimum (at least 2 lifetimes) order is over $100.
I haven’t even bothered to ask my doctor about DMSO, but did try 70% topical during a recent [microscopic colitis] flare. It did not seem to help, but I may try an oral dose if it flares again.

I've been using 70% DMSO gel and oregano oil (2x per week) on some moles. I *carefully* apply the dmso and then the oregano oil on top. That oregano oil is no joke!
It's been about 3 months now, and the moles are almost gone.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-heals-the-gut-and-cures/comment/159281327
I've been wanting to try Oregano oil but haven't yet. I'll get some. My moles are still there although smaller.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-heals-the-gut-and-cures/comment/159285834
I will echo this. I've been applying a 50% solution with organic castor oil for 3 weeks now, to a few small moles with some skin tags around it. The skin tags are finally just falling off and the moles are getting smaller. I havent tried 99% but may try it.

A few months ago, I also had a similar problem with my left leg. The ankle and calf would swell immediately upon rising and morning shower.
Because I had a problem with an ulcer between my big toe and the neighboring one, I cut out the toe area of my sneakers. Which is now gone after treating it with DMSO and ivermectin cream.
Well, one day while cooking, a very heavy and sharp knife fell on the big toe. Immediately my sneaker filled with blood.
Oh no, now what? I hobbled to the bathroom and blotted the blood from my toe, and held some gauze there to stem the flow.
Finally I was able to get a bandage on it. After cleaning up the blood and washing my sneaker, I filled a small tub with warm water and Epsom salts, removed the bandage and soaked my feet for about 20 minutes.
Applied a new bandage and patted on some DMSO on my calves and around the wounded toe. (Been doing that for about a year now, patting DMSO on my calves, and my varicose veins have greatly diminished.) Went to bed and hoped for the best.
Well the next morning, to my surprise. Skinny ankle and no swollen calf. And it's been like that every day since. I call that a miracle.

I am hypothyroid for 34 years. I have recently started using DSMO for a knee injury (bakers cyst & lateral meniscus tear), and it is wonderful for relieving pain and I am hoping it will mean I can skip surgery. BUT I have also just had my best ever thyroid test results!! I am rubbing it on my leg, which is injured. I got pharmaceutical grade, made in Germany. But after done i rub my hands over my thyroid. I am currently on a lower than I usually take dose of thyroid (still full replacement), and as said the results are the best I have seen.
The thing I have noticed most recently is a reduction of fatigue. I used to indulge in a daily nap, then go to bed and sleep another 8-9 hours at night. Now, if I try to nap I just can't be bothered. I sleep my normal sleep at night and awaken refreshed. I do swipe the 70/30 over my thyroid area.

Last fall, DMSO worked a miracle on a badly bruised foot and on a painful hard blow to the shin. It was not possible to ignore the extremely fast pain relief (10 minutes!) and the stunningly fast recovery, things that I would have expected no less than a week.
Somehow yesterday doing yard work, I achieved two minor injuries:
My left wrist was stiff and painful and I could not rotate it much. This sort of injury in my experience takes 1-2 weeks to resolve. Probably from moving a cord of wood from one location to another as well as carrying a few large bulky solar panels and lotsa logs.
My right toe and foot near it swelled up, was painful to walk on, and started turning black and blue. No idea what caused it (boots?) but there it was.
DMSO works
The wrist
The wrist required 3 treatments over the day. Each time, the pain and stiffness subsided—not gone but obviously better. All while doing yet more work!
Applied once more the next day, there is only a minor lingering stiffness. This is not normal healing—it is never that fast. Never in my life do injuries of this sort improve so rapidly. One more application tonight, and it ought to be gone by tomorrow, I expect.
The toe
I did not think to treat the toe the night-of, so it turned all black and blue by the next morning—quite dark and obvious. One treatment and by end of day the discoloration was greatly reduced, swelling eliminated, and pain completely gone. Another treatment tonight and we shall see.

I buy my DMSO from the DMSOstore.com on Amazon. Use it two to three times a day for severe arthritis in my hands (thumb at palm area). It was very painful to try to "pinch" anything prior to using DMSO. Tried Voltaren, but it didn't help much. DMSO has been the ONLY remedy I've found to relieve my arthritis pain. And although I don't have restored strength in those joints, it's no longer painful for me to grasp items between my pointer and thumb.
Here's my routine: I wash and rinse my hands thoroughly first (We have a reverse osmosis water system, so I feel good that they are as clean as possible!). Then I apply the DMSO to the affected joints directly with my fingertips. It feels warm at first, which is soothing. I don't touch anything until the DMSO is completely dry - about 10 minutes. Following the application, discomfort is minimal or gone completely. If I get in hurry and skip the application, I have big regrets. So happy to have learned about DMSO from MWD!

For me, oral DMSO *cured* in 48 hours:
- 9+ months (maybe longer) of a mild to pronounced ache in the right side, likely the pancreatic duct or pancreatitis.
- 6 weeks of heartburn (acid reflux like symptoms).
I found that 1 tsp DMSO (95%). in 16 oz water is fine for me, but I have been able to move to 2 tsp DMSO (99%) with 20 oz.
I also add Vitamin C 1000mg to 2000mg but not necessarily recommending that.
I also add MgCl and KCl and NaCl to the solution, stir it all up, chug, then rinse teeth thoroughly when the Vitamin C is included.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-heals-the-gut-and-cures/comment/153359746
To add one clarification: by "cure", I mean that the problems went away for a good while (a month or so).
Since then (5 weeks), I've had a slight flareup, which I believe is a provocation caused by some factor, e.g., a sensitive area that is reactive to, say, food or whatever. In particular, I think my bile duct possibly has scar tissue from a violent bicycle crash back in 2018 (mTBI also). It makes sense, and my internist actually suggested such a possibility based on another patient with a similar issue having suffered an impact.
So when I say "cure", I mean elimination of all symptoms, but not necessarily permanent. OTOH, any flare disappears right away with DMSO, so I am way ahead of the game.
Empty stomach works just fine for me. 3X a day.
I like taking it without food so that the fluid (16 oz at least), absorbs faster. By adding MgCl, KCl, NaCl (table salt), the fluid is also near the electrolyte balance of the blood, which further speeds absorption vs plain water.
P.S. love the DMSO. Stuff works miracles

I didn't realize that DMSO could drop BP. My aggressive use of DMSO in recent weeks (cured two chronic internal pains!) was associated with feeling rather unsteady and no visible veins in my hands, a violation of a lifetime of typical.

Interesting! I had terribly itchy underarms (for some reason) for a few weeks. Used DMSO 70/30 aloe Vera….have not worn deodorant since and no need! Glad to hear others have noticed the same.

That said, I will toss this here that I have been experiencing increasing muscle weakness over the last year, as my health started declining after I got a desk job (I've had desk jobs before, but never had this kind of weakening), but after using .25 ml dmso in my coffee every day or at least multiple times a week, my muscle strength returned after only 2 weeks. I was so happy I almost cried as I am my ailing and elderly mom’s only viable option to have an able bodied adult live with her so she doesn't need to go to a care home, and have chosen to use that boost to restart my muscle building exercises (not looking for magic bullets and did not want to waste that miracle leg up). Thank you for your awesome efforts here! I hate doctors and it is no secret among those who know me irl, but I tell everyone you are the only doctor I have any trust for!

I have not had chronic constipation, but I have had irregular bowel movements, going through different phases of "normal", constipated, diarrhea, repeat.... I do many different health things (not specifically for this), but I have found three things have helped me a lot. (1) I started drinking kefir made with goat's milk every morning. I had taken probiotic pills for years and years, but the first time I tried kefir, my body told me, "YES! I want this!" and I've been taking it ever since. (2) Whenever I was in a constipated phase, I would take magnesium - worked every time. But the most effective thing I've tried (3) is oral DMSO. I've been taking this for at least a year now (starting low & gradually increasing the dose). It has done a lot for me in many ways, and the most recent is normalizing my bowel movements. I now have easy, normal poops every day, usually early morning & after each meal. It took a long time to get here, but it was worth it! I continue to take DMSO orally every night, waiting to see what improves next.

I understand that normal/natural gut microbiome is mostly bacteria, with some yeast. I was diagnosed as having Candida (systemic Candiasis) about 30 years ago (in a random, unintended way). Today, I am 2.5 years into a hard luck problem with my arm. My arm was fully "fermenting". I decided I would fix the arm, or have it amputated. After 30,000 cotton swabs, etc, etc. The arm is vastly improved, and my treatments continue. The 5 doctors I've seen have not been helpful.
DMSO, after much experimentation, does seem to be helpful as an addition to my various formulations.

I ingested DMSO to treat hemorrhoids, and it largely fixed chronic constipation, which I've had since I can remember. Side effects: urgency to pee, poo being too soft, and gas. These three things seem to be related. Fix: combine DMSO with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). This firmed up the poo. Maybe the reason our poo is firm is because baking soda is in a lot of food? These side effects have largely disappeared. I don't take DMSO everyday. It's easy to overdose. Constipation is largely corrected. Ditto hemorrhoids. Knock on wood.

After a back injury I've been on paracetamol & ibuprofen for 8 months. I know I know, but I can't function without them. Dmso whilst helpful has not been my medical miracle even in combination with other therapies.

A few of my favorite [constipation] remedies include rubbing coconut oil, dmso and rosemary oil on my lower abdomen and massaging a bit to help break things up.

We have been giving our dogs 1-2 droppers of DMSO in milk. (8 droppers is 1 tsp.) They lap it up with gusto.
I applied 50% DMSO in RO water to a sprained/injured leg. The dog gave me a look that said, "This feels funny," and relaxed as I massaged it in. Some days she licked it, and some she didn't. And I have applied it to her belly along a surgery scar she got before she became my dog. DMSO in water seems to soak in and dry nicely.

I've been using DMSO for leg cramps, but experimenting using it for other ailments. I tried putting a little on a poison ivy breakout, and the itch and rash disappeared, didn't come back. Usually with poison ivy I would have to take antihistamines for several days.
Note: my cat, who hates the smell of any topical, sniffs my DMSO'd hand before I wash it, not repulsed at all. Interesting.

I was diagnosed with multiple “autoimmune diseases” and they multiplied over time. One is/was AS. Diet was most important for healing, emotional work a must and DMSO was life changing. I was young and the natural way was not available to me. When confronted with “being disabled for life” and prescription drugs the “only way” financially available, I gave in and went down that road…
~24 yrs after the ankylosing spondylitis diagnosis, I am finally off all drugs & starting to thrive. I don’t even have to take DMSO every day any more.

Update on my sore hip. I first tried 100% DMSO gel. No effect. A Midwestern Doctor replied to me stating that it is often hard to get effect in such a deep area. It is immensely helpful to be heard.
Finally went to doctor who ordered an X ray showing arthritis in the joint. Prescribed physical therapy. Seemed to help at first, but in my opinion not confirmed by physical therapist, the 9 minutes of different exercised on a BOSU stability device, with many jerking motions, resulting the return of and pain returned as strong as ever. I had gone to the doctor in December about hip pain, but, in my opinion, what pushed the pain over the edge was doing intense IWT, Interval Walking Training. IWT consists of 3 minute segments of normal walk, then the highest intensity for the next 3 minutes and alternate. At age 82 not a good idea.
The physical therapy was helpful to finally (I hope!) be to catalyst to engage in regular exercise and strengthen muscles around the hip area and improve mobility.
At the end of physical therapy the pain was so great that for an upcoming flight, that included a plane change in Dallas-Fort Worth airport, I ordered a wheel chair for end to end transport in the airports. I also entertained the possibility of a cortisone shot.
In the middle of the 12 session PT, my wife convinced me to take a NASID and I began Naproxen twice per day. No help.
I went through the 3,400 items of results listed in one of the DMSO articles and extracted ones on arthritis and other topics for my wife. I finally began taking 100% DMSO orally. I now take a teaspoon morning and evening but spill over when filling the teaspoon so my dosage is about 3 teaspoons per day. Doing somewhat better.
Then I went back to 100% topical gel on hip once per day. Amazing results. Pain almost completely gone. I have not cancelled the wheel chair until the current conditions lasts.
Then for 2 days I did not put on the topical DMSO and the pain returned a little. Put on today and continue the liquid. I just pour it in 8 oz. of distilled water and drink.
I am going to throw in something else which might be totally unrelated. In my yearly physical exam, a month ago, there was a problem with iron and the doctor prescribed an endoscopy to see if something was going on. And I had very hard poops and began taking stool softeners the last few days.
My general practitioner for the last year and a half is an Osteopathic Doctor. I told her that I was taking DMSO and printed out one of these DMSO articles for her. . She suggested an appointment in 3 months to see how I was doing. NOTE: she didn't suggest that I run out and get a cortisone shot in my hip. For the last 9 weeks I have been supporting my wife after knee replacement. When my hip pain was bad I sorta thought about a hip replacement for myself but will continue the current course.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-they-dont-tell-you-about-autoimmune/comment/143430972
I posted 3 comments on my hip. This is the first one. By the third posted comment my hip was fine! Continued exercises, but main element was 1 tsp 2x day of 100% DMSO.
I have scleroderma very painful I use DMSO thank you Doc! You saved my liver and my sanity! So last week my Rhuemy asked why I have never asked for pain control as one of my fingers is disfiguring. I had to come clean and tell him about DMSO, surprise he did a 2 year research on DMSO as a fellow.
Said I taught him something today and will refer pts like me who are end stage liver disease (auto immune PBC) for pain control as he didn't like many of the options either.

For the knees, I'm fond of applying DMSO, then about a nickel sized amount of Diclofenac gel spread on top. I had a miraculous response in a guy who was post total knee replacement. Ortho left one leg 1/2 in shorter than the other. On all the pain meds. Ortho got an xray and "everything was fine." Not even kidding, he called my nurse the very next morning to report he was conpletely pain free. No more pain meds and a real success in my book.

Acne: Ivermectin & DMSO
Dosage For Over The Counter Private Purchase:
Twice per day, massage in a pea-sized/pencil eraser-sized amount onto the affected area or lesion.
Then spray DMSO or use gel on. 2X daily.
Start with 25-50% DMSO for the face
https://www.ou.edu/research/electron/bmz5364/calc-percent.html
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a simple naturally occurring chemical
Ivermectin/DMSO Application:
1. Spray on a combination of DMSO & spread ivermectin on first then spray on DMSO(doesn’t matter which one, I would start with Ivermectin ) If needed lightly rub in with 1-2 fingers to the area needed. If you don’t need to spread it to the area needed just let it air dry. Use 30-70% DMSO, use lower for the face per user response… usually 2 -3 puffs of DMSO is enough to spread on the face.
2. Spray on 1-3x times daily, if dryness cut back, or use Aloe Vera for moisture or redness. Just wipe off and/o by wipe off with water around the eyes or other spots if tingling plus don’t get in your eyes, keep your eyes shut when spraying. Can also just put (rub on)more Aloe Vera on for tingling.
Spray on the forehead and cheeks, or only the problem areas….
Always clean your face & hands with organic soap, use only one or 1 2 clean fingers (because of the DMSO) to lightly spread and rub into the skin) Let air dry, and wait for 15-20 minutes before applying makeup, etc….
Rinse finger(s) off with water and wipe with a towel after spreading DMSO to the area needed, to keep the smell of DMSO to a minimum.
It may take several months with stubborn acne to see moderate results…..

A few days before you published this article, I was trying to figure out how to manage pain from a strained hip muscle. Oral DMSO knocked it completely, but I don’t take it on work days due to the odor (my colleagues keep commenting that they “smell Onyx”). I tried hemp seed oil (purchased from Charles Warren Presents) with good relief, and 70% DMSO in aloe vera gel with better relief. I decided to try them together, and after 2 applications 12 hours apart, I had total pain relief. I applied the combination one more time after 12 hours for good measure, but have not needed it since. I didn’t notice hemp seed oil mentioned in your article so I thought I’d share my experience (though you do reference CBD).

DMSO has been very helpful for me in dealing with several minor musculoskeletal issues over the past 8 months or so. It also seemed to have the effect of an increasing my overall general health…I seem to just simply feel better when I apply it. Feeling better to me has been even more valuable than the help with the musculoskeletal help even though they are probably one and the same.

I've been experimenting - using DMSO on my knee along with MCT oil before walking makes the walk so much better. My hope is that the torn meniscus is somehow reforming. And if not, it feels like it is.

My experience with DMSO so far.
- ordered 70/30 (with Aloe) and had limited but positive results treating a damaged rotator cuff. I absolutely love the vivid dreams. Been using it over 1 week.
- ordered the liquid 99% and tried in my morning coffee with heavy cream, results an 'explosion' but I have no gall bladder.
- I moved to ~ 1 tsp with water and water as a chaser.. omg that stuff is really strong !!
- day 2 moved to 1 in the morning and 1 about noon.
- Edit: now doing only 1 tsp with water chaser.
I am noticing a big improvement with my shoulder. I am still going for an MRI to see if surgery is needed but based on my past 3-4 days I am thinking not.
My regiment is cream on my shoulder and 1 tsp/day. As 'aMD' has stated Everyone is different so start slowly and adjust. I am so thankful that I am in the 80% and pray for those in the 20% find a solution.
To close, in my experience with a clean diet and good health DMSO has been a very positive experience for me, I do not take any meds other than NP Thyroid.

For over a year, I dealt with what appeared to be eczema on the inside of my right ankle; about a two-inch square patch. The itching was relentless. It would keep me from falling asleep, wake me in the middle of the night, and drive me to scratch just to find some relief.
I tried everything: prescriptions, over-the-counter creams, and natural remedies. Nothing worked. No doctor I spoke to could offer a solution that made any real difference.
Then I found the undiluted DMSO roll-on from the DMSO Store. I applied it two or three times a day for about a month. The itching started to reduce, and after another month, the rash completely disappeared. The skin in that area looked a bit like a prune for a while, but the itch was gone!
I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you, Midwestern Doctor, for spreading this knowledge. DMSO changed my life.

Hi! Back is now essentially pain free after about 2 months of regular use. Was using a 70/30 DMSO and aloe vera gel mixture on hip, si joint and hamstring injury. Was using with magnesium oil, peppermint, lidocaine cream, & arnica. More recently, an 80% solution with peppermint oil has also been great and it dries much faster than the two with no residue. However, we are finding that my clothes are carrying the scent after laundering. I usually try to make sure I'm dry before putting on clothes but am wondering if there is a residue causing the issue. What detergents are working for others to get rid of the smell? My husband is complaining and I don't want to give up my pain relief!

I fell and twisted my ankle and left knee very badly, also strained my right knee (I have arthritis in both knees.) I rubbed the foot, ankle, leg, and knee with Herbal Mana Frankincense DMSO Gel, and also rubbed the right leg and knee. I was amazed to get relief.

Thanks to you, I’ve been using DMSO to shrink large varicose veins on my legs - while they’re still present, they’re much smaller, softer, and a sensation of “thickness” that was present before is no longer there! I’ll share a before and after once they’re gone or almost gone.

Wow. Grateful for this compilation.
I used essential oils of turmeric and frankincense one drop each combined with DMSO gel when I started treating my knee inflammation and swelling (from old ski injuries and minescectomy) with excellent and fast results, after your first series of articles on DMSO.
This has opened the floodgates of my imagination for a number of future combinations to try.
Thank you every time!

Maybe I’ve overlooked this information, but how often is dmso used? I just got a 70/30 to start and used it the first time yesterday. Stiff neck and low back pain are definitely improved. Applied again this moving I still have soreness even though overall better, but how much is too much? I don’t want to go overboard, but honestly, this is the best I’ve felt without nsaids for years. Is twice a day normal?

I have been fascinated by your posts and I'm delighted to tell you that the last three weeks I have been using 50-50 99% DMSO with normal saline with 12% magnesium chloride in a nebuliser for five minutes each day. The results have been spectacular and I have stopped using my Ventolin puffer which I was using up to 12 times a day. It is really an extraordinary result. As a physiotherapist I am gobsmacked. I would like to include glutathione but my compounding chemist is unwilling to suggest a dosage to be added to my combination above. Can you please suggest one, for which I would be eternally grateful

I've been experimenting with DMSO for a full year now. Mostly topical application. I started with 1:1 mix of DMSO in high-quality olive oil, gradually worked up to 5:1. It knocks out muscle pain and bruising like magic.
The most striking result was a hip joint that was steadily becoming more painful - I was considering asking for surgery. (I'm 70.) I applied the DMSO-oil stuff 2x day for a couple of months, then also started eating collagen powder with my breakfast (5 g day). After 6 months, no more pain at all, just a hint of stiffness after sitting for a long time. So I've gone down to 2x week (still taking the collagen every day). Pretty cool experiment!
I'm also using it for varicose veins, and after a year of 2x day (with one day a week off), they are only slightly improved. But considering I've had this condition for 50 years (!), I'm prepared to be patient. Oddly, I've noticed that the progress comes in waves, and the 1-day break seems to contribute to that, not sure why.
More recently, I've started trying to cure my chronic rhinitis by swabbing it 1x day in my nostrils and soft palate (so that it trickles down my throat). I put up with a brief burning in my nose, and an awful taste, but it seems to be working.
I thought I was being adventurous, but this article has so many more options I see I've barely scratched the surface!

PS - forgot to mention, this mixture also cured a TMJ problem that was deteriorating. This was originally why I first bought the DMSO.
And I do mean "cured" - my jaw went from a painful locking habit on one side (often while I was asleep - very disturbing!), and pain when biting into food, to totally normal functioning again.
That took around 6 months, applying the DMSO 2x day to the joint and along the neck tendon near it (behind the ear). Somehow they seemed to work together.
I have used methylene blue at 15 mg per day to restore my immune system after it was crushed by the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. This process took about 3 1/2 months. That was a in 2021. I have been taking methylene blue at the same dosage every day since that time. Recently,thanks to the posts A Midwestern Doctor, Recently,I have been drinking 3/4 of an ounce of 99.995% pure DMSO liquid along with the methylene blue. The result is that very little methylene blue appears in my urine! I believe this is because the DMSO is helping methylene blue penetrate my body’s cells more efficiently!

I struggle with fatigue/burnout and often feel my the back of my neck area tenses up easily. I have had some success by putting DMSO on that area, feeling that some "flow" is returned. My inspiration for this was from other articles where you mentioned the vagus nerve often getting compressed around here and the need for good circulation to and from the head, not least for sleep.
I also had the idea to put DMSO around the kidney/adrenal area on the back (very roughly), to see if it somehow could help support the adrenals. Sometimes I can feel like a constriction in them when overexerted or stressed. Perhaps the DMSO helps create flow around here too, because it does seem to have some effect and I haven't felt that constriction as much afterwards.

A combo I've been using, just because it made sense to me to try, is DMSO and Dr. Christopher's Bone & Tissue ointment. The later I've been using for much of my life to heal everything from skin wounds to broken bones. It's a salve with comfrey and other herbs. Adding DMSO by just applying some to the skin area I'm working on, and then rubbing the Bone & Tissue into the same area seems to increase it's effectiveness. As in skin heals even faster than I have been used to over the years using the same salve. I've used anything from 20% to 100% DMSO for this depending on if applying to something more sensitive like the face or less sensitive like the legs/feet. The Bone & Tissue salve also seems to counter any tingly/burny feeling the DMSO can create by it's self as I will feel that if using only DMSO, but not at all if applying the salve immediately afterwards.

I was skeptical of DMSO at first. That is until I tried it on myself, my wife and then my patients with amazing results.

Brother sprayed DMSO after applying castor oil on the perineum and improved urine flow and frequency, but also did CD enemas and ozone suppositories. DMSO alone has worked for headaches, bunions, burns cuts, scrapes. Added with magnesium to reduce muscle soreness and leg cramps. Added with ivermectin improved acne and acne scars.

Happy Body has a couple of creams that have MSM and CBD in them that I find help with my Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have also made some comfrey tincture that I apply with DMSO mixed with magnesium oil
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-mixtures-transform-natural-medicine/comment/142863824
DMSO in combination with magnesium oil is a good combo for arthritic joints. You can find magnesium oil on Amazon. Amandha Vollmer wrote a book Healing with DMSO that has many remedies such as this. She also sells some of her remedies already mixed. I used her night cream and her scalp treatment

Lol! That's great! I first tested DMSO on myself after I fell off my roof. Shortly after, I was a believer.

I am almost 70. I took a fall recently when I was out getting some sun because I was reading an article on my phone instead of watching where I was going. I fell over and broke the skin on one knee (through my jeans, no big deal) but also banged up my right hand. It was really painful and I thought I would have problems for weeks. Had lots of pain in my knuckles and the first phalanges when I closed my fist or used my hand.
When I got home I rubbed DMSO cream into the back of my hand and then later used 70% DMSO liquid and rubbed it into the back of my hand and into my phalanges.
Now, a couple of days later I cannot feel any pain!

I have a forward curve in my neck and upper back that prevents me from raising my head, or turning it side to side. It is fairly painful. Today I applied a product from BearCat Body Care Essentials LLC
https://barecatbody.com/?se_activity_id=145831395520&syclid=d2fomunigtds73av1hi0&utm_campaign=emailmarketing_145831395520&utm_medium=email&utm_source=shopify_email
It consists of 50% DMSO, and 50% black Jamaican castor oil. I transferred it to a rollerball bottle for easier application. After applying it to my upper back and shoulders, it became warm, and within minutes the pain was gone, and I could raise my head without pain, as I have been unable to accomplish for four years

Based on your articles I purchased a jar of 100% DMSO gel. I was amazed at the burning sensation of my skin. (a new phenomenon to study!!!) I discovered that younger people have less of that burning than us older people, suggesting that this phenomenon accumulates with aging. Was this related to that energetic pollution I had been studying?
I applied DMSO to a small patch of stiff muscle and waited for the burn to show up. When it did, I applied one of my electromagnetic devices (that vacuums out this ionizing energy) to the center of the patch. The sensation immediately shifted to a more comfortable tingling, and to my amazement, lasted 1/2 hour or more. To me, this meant that the DMSO was dissolving old deposits of free radical end products like AGEs and releasing the quanta of high energy stored in the bonds of the free radical end products. It seemed this energetic pollution was flowing to my device from an expanding area of the body as the DMSO penetrated through the body dissolving free radical end products in it's path. This suggested to me the possibility that such a combination of DMSO and extraction of quanta of oxidizing energy might be a form of rejuvenation.
Then someone introduced me to the little H2 infused water generator bottles available for $30 on Amazon. As I studied them, they work by having H2 gas combine with OH• (hydroxyl radical) which forms water molecules within a rich mix of aqueous electrolytes, converting that oxidizing energy to heat energy dissipating harmlessly into the body. I found that, if I drank a few ounces of the H2 infused water, waited 1/2 to 1 hour, then applied the 100% DMSO, I got absolutely no burning. A Grok study showed me that, by greatly reducing the hydroxyl with the H2 water, I was initiating a cascade of reduced free radical levels of lower oxidizing potentials in my body as well.
Based on this I propose that DMSO combined with antioxidants might work better in reducing inflammation because DMSO alone releases the high energy potentials from dissolved free radical end products back into the body contributing to the pool of oxidative agents like hydroxyl which then just re-form new free radical end products in other parts of the body.
For those who don't get skin burning from DMSO, this might seem unimportant, but for us old people with a lifetime of accumulation of free radical end products like AGEs, this combination of DMSO with H2 water or perhaps another form of hydroxyl level antioxidant might provide a major reversal of one of the forms of aging.

I used the 70% gel on small areas of my face (I read your warning and stupidly ignored it). I was freaked out slightly when my face started swelling but I just added more aloe and it calmed down and the next day was fine. But the amazing thing was that I had noticeable mental clarity (I have constant brain fog and chronic fatigue) so that was a happy accident! I also applied it to a pimple that was completely gone the next day.

I previously took it orally and found it kept me awake. I've been putting it on my scalp at night now and that's probably why I'm not sleeping well.

Decided a while ago to try a teaspoon internally. After a few days, amazingly, I noticed I wasn't coughing! I'd had a regular chronic cough almost all year! And the cough is gone! Thanks so much, Doc! I had been told I had beginnings of heart failure, and a cough sort of goes along with that. I'm feeling much more confident! Workout three days a week going a mile on treadmill, and i'm 82. 😊

Had the same thought and after a week or so, the difference was significant. So, yes, I will second the use of DMSO to improve penile blood flow [for erectile dysfunction]. Start with 50% to lessen the chance of irritation, now at my usual dilution ratio of 70%, no problem.

Statins cause T2D, ED [erectile dysfunction], brain fog, heart disease, reduction in CoQ10/K2, skin cancer etc. Yup to them all. So I have had ED for over 10 years. I began using DMSO on my feet and I thought, hmmmm.... improves blood flow! YUP, it is helping. Thanks AMD

I have very, very minor COPD (self-diagnosed) after no more than 25 years of smoking. But the cough began to get my attention. Had to sleep on my face, not side or back eg. Went very slow on acclimating self to DMSO liquid, 30%, 50%, 70% and now a hundred. I follow AMD and use a water-color painter's animal bristle brush to paint it all over my chest above the lungs. Almost immediate good results. Still doing this once or twice a day.

I have had moderate to severe RA [rheumatoid arthritis] for about 25 years...Recently, I’ve tried DMSO (50% dilution) applied directly to the affected joints. It does seem to help and allows me to function/sleep without resorting to prednisone.

I was suffering from chronic Lyme but I am thrilled to say that I seem to be healed now. I had a lot of pain and arthritic type symptoms and fatigue. I lost a lot of weight (down to 95lbs) and became very weak. Along with herbs, nutrition, and what exercise I could tolerate, I used DMSO and baked in the morning sun almost every day. I also did 5 months of antibiotics, but the real healing happened after I stopped them. My body seemed to crave the sunlight so I followed that, and the DMSO helped with the pain and stiffness. I also sometimes took it orally when I took my herbs.

[not a DMSO testimonial]
Is there any experience with the use of DMSO for psoriatic arthritis, taking DMSO orally and combining it with OptiMSM tablets?
I am taking 6 1000mg MSM tablets daily, which already brought about a big initial improvement.
Now I plan to start also taking DMSO orally, combing it with distilled or purified water and wondering what concentration of DMSO might be appropriate.

I am currently treating a 45 year old CF patient with DMSO and glutithione. She was in the beginning stages of getting worked up for lung transplant. We'll have PFT's from before treatment and updates every 3 months starting in August. 1 month in, she's feeling like a teenager again, exercising and has been illness free for 4 weeks now, which is the longest period without antibiotics since she was in her 20's. She tells me I can share all the details of her case
A lot of these health issues we have build up over a long period of time, so we cannot expect overnight solutions with DMSO but keep applying it and it really does work. I have a back issue in my left lower back with an operation on L4/L5 disc. With regular application in this area it has taken over a month for the pain to subside, on the other hand,rubbing a 70/30 concentration daily on to my legs and feet quickly resulted in less swelling in the Summer heat.

A GREAT AND UNUSUAL SUCCESS STORY. WORTH SHARING WITH YOUR READERS in the next DMSO article.
8 and 1/2 years ago I had hernia surgery. It was completely successful except for one side effect. Upon ejaculation I experience sharp but short lived (less than 10 seconds) pain near the incisions. 8 and 1/2 years later, I still have the pain upon ejaculation. The conclusion from a few different doctors was that scar tissue grew back around my vas deferens on that side and the pain is the result of fluid being forced through the vas deferens [and into the penis]. I have grown to live with it.
Update to this past week: I have been using DMSO for some knee pain (sadly not working), but lo and behold, my ejaculation pain has completely disappeared. This is in line with what you wrote about scar tissue in your second DMSO article on Sep 29, 2024. But there you implied that the DMSO needs to be applied soon after the surgery, if not during the surgery. I can report that, at least for me, it worked 8 and 1/2 years after the surgery (I am currently 69 years old). THANK YOU MWD.

I believe I have pulmonary fibrosis from years of dust exposure working in a woodshop. I'm afraid of having that confirmed by a doctor and then being unable to resist the pull of their magical fear incantations regarding my certain horrible not-distant death. So I am going this alone pretty much, apart from what I glean from online information. I've been taking DMSO topically and internally, with promising though a bit shy of dramatic results, and soon to start administering it with a nebulizer, possibly alternating with glutathione.

Currently: Trilogy 1xday
Nebulizer Albuterol 2x
He started DMSO 10 days ago.
DMSO: 3 drops/30ml purified water
Nebulizer
1. his pulso ox went from average 91/92 to 95/96
2. HR avg: 58
3. more productive cough/phlegm
I say improvements.
He stated he feels worse? Shortness of breath?
Perplexing given obvious improvements.

So far, my muscles have not responded to the extent I had hope for using the dmso/magnesium oil but swelling in my ankles and feet in hot weather has been much reduced. So there are many benefits but it is still a work in progress.
I also rub a 50/50 mixture of dmso/water into my scalp once a week after a hair wash, which has brought some colour back and made it more blonde. Soon approaching 81 I am looking for more energy, especially for my legs, so as I said "it is a work in progress".

Two experiences with treating livestock infections with DMSO:
1. A ewe with severe mastitis— normally requiring an injectable antibiotic— cleared it up with only topical applications of Betadine mixed with DMSO. Mammary tissue has a high need for iodine, so increasing its absorption via DMSO was very beneficial and increased the antimicrobial effect.
2. A goat with an injured ear from a dog attack. I dissolved amoxicillin from an oral-route capsule into DMSO and applied it topically to the relatively hairless skin of her udder and inside of her thighs. The wounds healed with no resulting infection. Normally this would have required an injected antibiotic since ruminate animals cannot be given oral antibiotics.

A neighbor’s cat claimed me as his “person” a little over 2 years ago. He spends much of his day at my house and backyard. I noticed he had an itchy spot near his right ear that would flare up from time to time. At times it would bother him so much, he’d scratch at it until it bled. His owner would apply a cream from the vet when it would flare up with semi-effective results. A few days ago, I noticed it had flared up again and he had scratched at it until it was raw. I grabbed a Q-tip and my DMSO and applied it to the sore area. The next day, the wound was sealed up and diminishing. Second day, applied again. The sore area was nearly completely healed by the third day. I dabbed on a final treatment the third day but there was hardly anything to dab at. Happy cat.
Just thought everyone might find this interesting.
Yes, I topically apply 99% pure DMSO every evening on me. Have used it for sore shoulders, knees, with great results. Am inspired to apply on my chest now after reading about others good results for asthma, cough, and related lung issues. Have developed a slight chronic cough from sinusitis. Am inspired to start adding a drop or two of DMSO to a sinus rinse machine.
Tip: if your skin feels hot or turns red when using DMSO topically, (mine did but gradually went away as my skin eventually stopped interpreting the DMSO as a threat), try applying coconut oil before the DMSO. It helped me a lot. DMSO will carry whatever is on your skin into your body. Organic coconut oil is good for us, inside and out.

Grateful to you AMD. We will put this work of yours to use for good. Thank you for helping to provide solutions for those who were at a loss as to where to look for help. I am going to do some personal work on nebulizing DMSO...I have some lung issues resulting from exposures to products of combustion in a broad array... from wildfires to structural fires, chemicals, dust, refuse and biological hazards of several types, metals and fluxes. My career as a Professional Fire Fighter has left me with some challenges to play with, and my hobbies are all dangerous to health. About six months ago, I did some repairs to a piece of jewelry for a merchant representing Navajo silversmiths...and found out that Spiny Oyster dust is not good for eyes... I used Fusidic Acid Opthalmic, plus DMSO and was well in one week, no repercussions.

Hi Doc, checking in after my Barretts Esophagus recheck on Monday. I had a severe case of it diagnosed 3 years ago....I refused to take prescriptions omeprazole or pantropazole, but had been taking ivermectin since the pandemic and added menbenzadole 3x a week for the past 8 weeks, then read your article re: DMSO so started applying it topically starting at my throat and rubbing it slowly down to my stomach...and guess what, the Doctor says there is NO SIGN of Barretts Esophagus, but I still have signs of GERD, but my GERD has always been silent so no symptoms which contributed to my developing Barretts. This endoscopy result was such great news and I'm not sure which of my off label meds contributed to the eradication of the Barretts, but I am SO THANKFUL to you and your articles and to GOD for bringing us together as I have continually prayed for a cure, which doctors told me that it was not curable but could maintain it with the proper prescription drugs and limiting diet. SO THANK YOU. I read every word of your posts and am now using DMSO for arthritis in my knees and fingers...You are the BEST!

I used DMSO liquid for knee pain over a 2-week period, with no change. Then I started taking 1/2 teaspoon daily in my tea. Four days later, the pain (which was usually low-level, but chronic) disappeared completely. That was 6 months ago, and I now take 1 teaspoon DMSO liquid in my tea 4-5x per week.

Hello, here is my experience with DMSO
After watching video posted by @RebeccaCunningham of her neighbor who was able to breath and do more in a short period of time after using DMSO in a nebuliZer. Impressive! I have been diagnosed with COPD. Lungs greatly affected my quality of life.
My research -
I went back to a program Dr Vliet of TruthForHealth.Org did in December 2024 in her Faith Over Fear series. She suggested A Midwestern Doctor, The DMSO Store (Ft Lauderdale, FL) and to take it slow.
6 weeks ago I had started walking an hour a day - very slowly and at first could barely make it.
This was recommended to me by a Buteyko Breathing Breathing Specialist.
DMSO experience
Day 1 & 2 for me - small roll on 99% from DMSO Store.
Day 3 - Small roll on 99% on mid chest area. DMSO Store
Walking in now 81 degree weather, my Apple watch for the first time asked me if I wanted to record my workout! Prior to that I was too slow for it to pick up I guess. Today I did the same path and even a little extra and still finished 5 minutes early! Better able to breath without getting out o breath.
I had to share this experience!

I take 1.5T DMSO in a lime juice/water solution 4x/day. I have MS and am attempting to heal damage. It has been incredibly helpful for pain and energy. In May and June, separated by 2+ weeks I took 0.2mg/kg of IVM as part of an antiparasite protocol. In June and to a greater extent July my vision became a lot worse. Near vision contacts had been at -6.0 and went to -8.5. A full panel for thyroid, DM, and electrolytes were all normal so I was baffled but then read this article tonight. Could this have been due to this DMSO/IVM combination?
I also had another spot of melanoma come up on my leg (previous Mohs procedure on same legs 11/18 stage 1a) that I treated with chlorine dioxide and it seemed to improve until I had some skin breakdown. I stopped. It has healed. If it needs treatment again I’m going to use your advice and treat with DMSO and IVM topically.

I have been taking a low dose (140mgs) of imbruvica for almost ten years to treat CLL successfully. I started using DMSO topically and I soon started having paroxysmal afib episodes, which was distressing since I have never had any heart problems. After reading this article I realized that the DMSO was possibly increasing the potency of the imbruvica. (One of the major possible side effects of imbruvica is heart arrhythmias/afib.)
I stopped using DMSO over a month ago and have had no episodes since. I’m going to ask my doctor about lowering my imbruvica dose so that I can use DMSO - and yes, I would have bloodwork more often to check levels. (Interestingly, in May my WBC count was the lowest it’s been in seven years, which supports my theory of the DMSO increasing the drug’s potency.)

I first came across DMSO in 2000 where it was used in a major equine hospital treating various issues. It struck me as magic

I haven't had an opportunity to finish this article yet before my wife encouraged me to share my experience using DMSO. In my case it was an infection in the jaw from an extremely bad infection in a tooth that multiple dentist and doctors could not initially properly diagnosis and instead sent me home with an antibiotic each time for nearly a year before I was advised to have the tooth pulled and be done with it. I did that but still experienced pain up in the jaw which spread to the back of the jaw. Still the dentist that pulled the tooth could not see an infection in the x-rays. At a loss and finally resolving myself that mainstream medicine has lost all credibility(seeing the very slightest hope I had left in it evaporated) I searched for a better antibiotic and found it in Chlorine Dioxide. So I began a protocol with it going up to nearly 8 drops an hour and while adding DMSO drops to each . Several times throughout the day I'd sit with some of my 4 oz water with 8 drops Chlorine Dioxide, and 24 drops of DMSO mixture and lay on my side and allow it to sit there and soak around that jaw bone for up to 10 min. I also brushed with it multiple times a day. It seemed a bit extreme for me at first since I had never really done anything like it before but at this point I was very afraid since I had read that infections in a bone usually will never heal or go away since antibiotics(same for chlorine dioxide) will not reach places void of water. But I'm happy to report that after much persistence, working at it for several weeks, it seemed it penetrated into the jaw and finally eliminating a year and half nightmare of pain and the array of clearly ill informed doctors and dentists and I haven't had any pain since. I have gone on to do multiple 3-4 week protocols this last year for lyme disease and what seemed like a toxic build up(from...is it possible it was from chemtrails?) with great success! I did 4-5 of them before figuring out ways to keep toxins at bay by drinking lots of water and working with diatomaceous earth, psyllium husk, and triphala to keep the bowls moving while adding some essential vitamins(vit. C, vit. D, ect). I appreciate you(Midwestern Doctor), whoever you are! You have opened my eyes ever wider than they already were and I've been inspired to study real medicine further to help my adult children in the future!

I've used horse paste topically, seems to be very good for acne - esp when combined with DMSO

Lately I've been using DMSO as a decongestant.
Blend: 30% DMSO, 20% castor oil, 20% aloe, 30% pure water. (castor oil stinks & "tastes" bad, but is anti-inflammatory - but I'm wondering if I can substitute something else. It "tastes" really bad).
Put 2 drops up each nostril (have to be lying down). Wait as you feel it going into sinuses - then - spray with saline to drive it further into the sinuses. My saline spray is a little jet spray that "shoots" the saline up the nose. I don't think a pump would have the same effect.
Wait 15-20 minutes. Blow nose = all clear.
I've also managed to sneak in 2 ingested doses without hubby complaining of stench! So maybe I just need to space out ingestion a bit more.

A DMSO/Vaccine Shedding Story [and neck improvement]...
For background, I'm an NP working in skilled nursing facilities in rural southern Arizona near the USMexican border. I was injected with two doses of Moderna in January 2021.
Thanks to the FLCCC, I knew about ivermectin - which I was able to get by walking across the border to Mexico. Never got Covid until Omicron - a mild case - but then in the ensuing months, noticed that during outbreaks or vaccination campaigns, I would have tachycardia, dizziness, head pressure, brain fog, fatigue - when I went into the facilities. Symptoms would worsen during the week while making rounds, and subside on the weekends. I was constantly treating myself, following FLCCC guidelines, sometimes knocking it out by a 5-day prednisone burst.
Then came transverse myelitis.
Before Covid, transverse myelitis was something I'd heard of exactly once. After the shots, I'd had 11 patients in 18 months with symptoms of acute back pain radiating down one thigh, then pain would move to both thighs, then they would start falling down with their legs giving out, then they were paralyzed and numb. (Thanks to an amazing patient with MS who taught me her treatment regimen, was able to get them all walking again. Thank you, Kendra.)
When it happened to me, I instantly recognized the symptoms and was able to get myself on high-dose steroids within the hour. I treated myself with everything I knew, allopathic and not - and you, Midwestern Doctor, along with the FLCCC, saved my life.
However, due to my work and being exposed to patients and staff constantly, I'm a chronic state of fluctuating inflammation, with occasional flares of the TM usually heralded by sudden back pain.
Now to the DMSO part: A friend whom I'll call Mateo was visiting from California. We met in a coffee shop, and as soon as he walked in I saw he was walking like Frankenstein, was so arthritic he could not turn his neck but had to move his whole trunk. So I told him about DMSO, and he came to my house to try it. I had him wash his neck with a washcloth, then demonstrated how I put DMSO on my own neck (didn't wash my hands after applying). Mateo splashed the DMSO on his palms and rubbed it into his own neck. Pretty quickly he complained of burning and tingling, so I took some olive oil (pure non-GMO) and rubbed it on on his neck - contact time of maybe 3-5 seconds. Within minutes, Mateo was surprised that he could move his head up and down and side to side - he was demonstrating this and then gave me a look of alarm. "You're breaking out in hives!" he said. I was. Without being aware, I had been scratching my palms, then noticed my feet were itching, then noticed my back was itching, plus my lips and my scalp and I was pretty much scratching everywhere. Obviously having an acute allergic reaction. So after taking benadryl and then prednisone, we were trying to figure out what I was allergic to - Mateo didn't have anything on his skin, and the bottle of olive oil I had used was half used by me...and then, without really thinking, I asked: "Hey Mateo, have you ever taken any of the Covid shots?"
"You mean the vaccines?" he said. "Oh yeah... I've had eight of them."
When was the last one? Three weeks ago.
That's my story. Obviously I've left out a lot of details, but my theory is that my body is super-sensitized to spike protein, I've already got an autoimmune condition, and I gave myself a huge dose of the antigen after touching a shedding person with DMSO carrying it straight into my bloodstream.
I hope my experience will help someone. It's a testament to shedding...and to the power of DMSO.

I felt comfortable using it as it did alleviate wrist pain that I had for over a year from lifting weights. The pain went away after one to two topical applications of 60%. It also reduced pain from an ankle strain, but did not completely eliminate the pain. I used it on some spider veins for about a month and they have faded. After this, I decided to try it for tinnitus. I have read all the articles and comments. Possibly it’s the other ingredients that were used in the studies that reduced the tinnitus and not DMSO alone.

I have been using the apple-flavored horse paste Durvet Ivermectin form on the many skin growths of all kinds that my 100yo mother develops regularly. I have yet to find a kind of growth that that formula will not get rid of, with once a day application for anywhere from several days to several weeks. Simple and easy and extremely effective. :-)

A diagnosis of malignant melanoma treated with Chlorine Dioxide (CDS3000ppm)and 70/30 DMSO. I saw the Dermatologist on April 10th and she performed a shave biopsy on my ankle. Unfortunately it came back positive. I started treating it with Andreas Kalcker’s protocol K until the surgery on May 14th. I applied CDS3000 and let it dry and then applied DMSO twice a day. Below is the first biopsy showing melanoma to the peripheral margins and diagnosis in the deep margins, followed by the biopsy after surgery showing no sign of disease. I’m totally convinced this stopped the cancer in its tracks. The surgeon and the dermatologist had no answers to why there was no cancer in the second biopsy. I didn’t tell them I treated with CDS and DMSO.

So I’ve been having headaches since 1982, migraines, and they always start out on one side of the neck and shoulder, usually the right, but once in a while on the left and I have been taking zolmig for 29 years. It takes a while to kick in and I need an 800 ibuprofen with it, but it sometimes takes hours for it to go away. I use deep blue by doTERRA to just ease the pain. so two nights ago, I rubbed in the deep blue from my temple to my neck and shoulder, and then thought I’m gonna put DMSO on top of it on a cotton ball. I poured some on and just kind of rubbed it over the whole area went and laid down and lo and behold eight minutes later that pain was gone. First time in 29 years was it just a fluke? I don’t know. But I’ll try it again.

Thank you for continuing to report on DMSO and its amazing uses. It has become a household staple at our home and my husband and I have effectively used it for a variety of ailments, but always externally. We’ve had some great successes and not noticed any change in others. My greatest success was the relief from painful spasms caused by neuropathy, and my husband’s was relief from painful arthritic joints. Thank you!

I've just been diagnosed with non-dysplasia Barrett's Esophagus and am wondering how to use DMSO to reverse this condition, along with changes in diet, habits and exercise?
Doc currently has me on Protonix for 30 days (it's day 10), but I didn't take it today because of horrible leg cramps/pain that started 3 days ago and has become almost unbearable; no sleep, barely functioning. I applied 70% DMSO about an hour ago and the pain has diminished 70-80% already.

I have small fiber neuropathy. I've been using a 70/30 roll on on the bottom of my feet and there is some relief, but it is not gone. So. I will look forward to the next article. Also, I have been putting it on my carotids. I have high BP [blood pressure] and was upped on lisinopril to 40mg. (I know...) Last pre-DMSO reading was 159/95. Ist post reading was 106/75!!! THANK YOU!!!

I'd like to also add that 10 drops of 70-80% solution of DMSO with 1 drop of peppermint oil applied/layered over a 4% lidocaine lotion/gel (pay attention to inert ingredients to avoid parabens, fragrances, etc.)is great for sciatica and SI Joint pain. On top, I spritz with magnesium oil spray if I'm dealing with muscle cramping that day. The peppermint oil/DMSO combo is something that I learned from Amandha Voltmer's book and sort of modified for myself. I've actually stopped using it daily since getting out of pain and have skipped a week here and there and use only occasionally now for flare-ups. That's after pain levels of 7-8 in June/July this year. Also doing PT and strength training for my back.

Yes, this works, but I’ve only used DMSO topically. Hubby said I smelled like I had garlic breath, so I put 1/2 tsp MSM powder in water and chug that immediately after applying DMSO. He says it’s much improved, but can sort of smell it a little if he kisses me. I also take 1500 mg capsule 1-2xs per day. I skip the morning dose if I decide I need DMSO for my hip/SI Joint that morning since I end up using the powder to prevent the odor instead.

I have found taking my oral dose with grapefruit juice mitigates the odor in your mouth and in your sweat as for me it makes the DMSO work better and faster - perhaps more absorption at the cellular level so less external loss of efficacy??
It has to be 100% grapefruit juice otherwise it is not as effective. Also I have tried orange and pomegranate - they do not help absorption as the grapefruit juice does.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/therapeutic-dmso-combinations-revolutionize/comment/128610387
DMSO ODOR RELIEF!!! I'm so excited to share this!!! We just started taking a teaspoon of barley grass powder (in juice) to mitigate the odor from drinking DMSO. It's making a huge difference! Breath is still bad (working on that), but it has eliminated the "Pig Pen like" odor cloud that usually lasts for a day and a half after drinking DMSO. I believe it's the chlorophyll in the barley grass doing the work. You can purchase chlorophyll on its own, but it can cause an upset stomach.

Yes indeed! I'm still using DMSO almost daily on hands and feet. As far as I can tell, all the splinters are now out of my feet (they caused curious yellowy coloured puffy areas), but there's still nerve damage in them from persistent cold and crushed feet as a child (ill fitting shoes, and cold houses, and wet feet from shifting from one classroom to another).
Meanwhile only yesterday several more bits of wood came out of my hands, plausibly from 5 decades ago. I'm finding the splinters on the inner surface of the joints, while the swelling and pain is on the top and sides of the joints.

I have a mysterious skin condition - nothing visible - but a searing pain and hyper-sensitivity on my abdomen (almost like post herpetic pain from shingles only I haven't had shingles) and over my liver area as if my skin has been burned and all the nerve endings are inflamed. DMSO helps almost immediately which I use in conjunction with a hydrogel of aloe, lavender, carrot extract and colloidal silver. Saved me from having to take NSAIDS. Thank you for your info and encouragement. The times inbetween applications get longer - from twice daily to every 2 days now. Anything to be done about the garlic taste in the mouth side effect?

DMSO is amazing! But if anyone is considering any spinal or back surgery because of disc compression/displacement on nerves don’t! I had severe sciatica with multiple discs compressing the nerves. I literally could barely walk without excruciating pain and lying down the nerve pains pinged all over my foot and lower ankle. Didn’t sleep for weeks. I followed Dr Sarno for a bit but it only got worse so had to get a primary md and she ordered an MRI… 2 days later she called and wanted me to see a spinal surgeon asap as I was heading toward cauda equina syndrome… loss of bowel and bladder function and paralysis. I declined (only on gabapentin which I reluctantly took) . My nephew told his chiro about me and said send her down here. After he saw my mri he said I’m a perfect candidate…. It’s spine med therapy. I live on an island so the trip to NJ was painful but just lied in backseat.. barely able to walk. After about 2 1/2 weeks I could walk without the excruciating pain and by the end of 6 weeks I was off gabapentin. From someone who was asking God to take her to being able to walk a mile now in 1/2 hr without pain is amazing. I do use the dmso combined with a thc cream on back that’s literally being stretched after the treatment and opening up the disc spaces.

I tripped over a garden hose that didn’t belong on the sidewalk. I fell very hard and bashed the frontal lateral aspect of my right knee on the concrete. No bony injury, but gross swelling of the soft tissues around my knee and below it on either side of my shin. Over the next hour I drove home. Reaching home I had so much muscle pain (8 out of 10) that I was calling out in pain, inching along, hardly walking, and hanging onto furniture while making my way to my medicine chest. My knee was swollen to the size of a melon. The joint itself did not hurt, but the knee muscles were so stiff they were like a brick around the joint. I could hardly flex it and so tried not to!
I have DMSO 99.9% liquid. I sat in a chair and applied it generously topically, undiluted, to the areas of swelling and pain and gently massaged it in. After another hour I re-applied it. That was ALL I did for my knee, apart from elevating it—no anti-inflammatories or painkillers. Two hours after I first applied the DMSO, the pain had settled to 5 out of 10. The pain continued to decrease throughout the day. The next morning I was reluctant to sit up in bed and fearful to stand, but I was surprised to find the knee was no longer stiff, and there was no pain per se, just a mild ache. I could walk comfortably. The swelling was reduced by half. Since then my knee has healed fairly well. I will never be without DMSO in the future.

At the age of 13 i was nearly killed in a football accident. I'm now 72 and have played baseball for 60 years, still play tournament baseball as a catcher.. I've had a right shoulder AC separation, left bursa surgery all years ago and within the last 5 years my left long bicep tendon is torn and my left rotator has a full thickness tear both which have not been repaired and have no effect on my baseball activity. Full range of motion with no discomfort just a bit of overhead weakness. I opted out of surgery. I decided that if it all goes bad shoulder replacements are more successful than a rotator repair.
So, when I received the diagnosis I decided that I would continue as I have been doing for a while longer. Being an avid baseball player and blue crab trapper I'll wait until the the late fall to have surgery. I already have C5-6 fused in 1989.
They suggested pain management but the DMSO helps me get through some of the difficult days. I've lived with this for so long and do all I want to do so a few more months should work.
I do understand the concern but having been through this for years and for 6 months had a chiropractor do the neck crack thing, he was thinking the entire time it was just an adjustment issue and was certain he could resolve it.

We started my 2 year old son who has had extremely severe eczema since he was 3 months on DMSO and aloe in December 24’. In just over 6 weeks he looked like he was almost 100% cured. We have stayed consistent in applying it every night before bed. About 2 weeks ago I got lax at a kids birthday party and let him have some “nothing Bundt cake” that was a huge mistake because he had a terrible flare up and it has not calmed down ever since

I've also had good results with a combination of DMSO and oregano essential oil. I take care to not touch the normal skin, just the spots, because oregano oil will actually give you a chemical burn. Several moles and sun damage spots on my face have flaked off after a few weeks of treatment.

My better half and I have been using this for about 3 years for pain, and this makes me feel much better.

I'm currently on a second round of Prednisone for a skin rash of unknown cause. First one was 60mg 3x3, 3x3, and 3x1. That failed to knock it down, so I'm on a 5x3, 5x2, and 5x1. The itching was driving me crazy. I tried hydro-cortisone, and that didn't help very much. Went with Calahist, which helped but not enough. Finally I thought to search for "Does DMSO help with itching?" and the answer was "Well, it's an anti-inflammatory and analgesic, so sure." Tried it (70%), and it's working!

With MG the muscles will not allow much exercise during a flare, which I am currently in. DMSO is great for pain and I use it for a variety of other things as well. I've run into so many folks who are scared of using it for their pain because of the word 'solvent' that sometimes appears in references to it.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-hidden-dangers-of-corticosteroids/comment/121667445
I've been having great luck taking 99% DMSO @2.5ml twice daily, 1/2 hr after meals. I mix it into 1/8 cup well water, (filtered through a high end, passive Berkey water filtration system.)
Before I started on the DMSO I was losing 2-3 lbs a week. No one could tell me why. I lost 60 lbs in total but within a week of starting on the DMSO my weight loss stopped and the elasticity of my skin returned, (even if it has noticeably dried out to the point I need to moisturize it with a vitamin E, Cocoa & Shea Butter lotionfor sensitive skin.
Topically I use the 99% DMSO mixed 70/30 with Aloe Vera gel on my feet and legs to deal with neuropathy. It only takes a few minutes for it to take effect. Relief usually lasts a few hours.
This might be a good time to thank you, Doctor, for literally saving my life. I was wasting away! I think I can safely say that out loud.
You're much too grounded to suffer from a God Complex.

I also want to mention that DMSO can be put on the forehead and neck and throat if there is fear of stroke . this is from my extensive reading of DMSO . I used it 50%. it worked for me .

Your comment about fluid stagnation reminded me to ask you a question regarding using DMSO on muscle strains and sprains. I find that DMSO does help, but a side-effect seems to be greatly extended visible bruising. Is that due to the DMSO facilitating the movement of trapped blood much further than it would typically travel?

Using Ivermectin and Mebendazole, DMSO and Hematoxylin I've beat back my tumors 3 times now.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/turbo-cancers-and-alternative-cancer/comment/120195041
DMSO works on bone-related pain, such as spinal injuries, immediately. With minor neuropathy is both hands at the fingertips I tried DMSO on my left hand for a week, once a day. Sterility is critical when using DMSO but it reduced the neuropathy by 80-90% so I'm doing both hands now. DMSO is an interesting drug as is Hematoxylin but I don't expect these drugs to stop my cancer. Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy have, so far, had the best results.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/turbo-cancers-and-alternative-cancer/comment/119949207
I will speak highly though of DMSO which I bought for my shoulder rotor cuff injury after gardening too much. Couldn’t lift my arm above my neck area for months and after doing some research decided to buy a jar which has some aloe Vera gel included in mixture. Within a month my shoulder improved over 50% and some exercise, but not only that I had a dark mole on my shoulder blade which disappeared completely and can only put it down to this DSMO. I was so excited that I’m going to try using it on my varicose veins to see what happens. I also have read various articles on the great success of food grade (6 or 12%) hydrogen peroxide daily in juice or water as a cure for lots of things. Also highly recommend the potential of oil of oregano daily diluted and or mixed as a potent cream for all things.

Thank you! This is fantastic. There are currently 2 trials investigating Mebendazole and pediatric brain tumors. So the higher ups suspect what we are seeing on the ground. With benzimidazoles I am personally aware of 3 miraculous cases of complete resolution (we corrected one's lingering vision problem overnight with DMSO).
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/turbo-cancers-and-alternative-cancer/comment/120057002
Agreed. I have seen a few miracles: stage IV NSCLC resolve inside 4 months, GBM in 3 cases, in similar time frame, and recently an astounding finding in my sister that can only be explained by the MOA of DMSO+IVM. I've worked hard to replicate these results in others, but I do not see the pattern. The NSCLC was the most puzzling b/c it was when I first started and used very low doses.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/turbo-cancers-and-alternative-cancer/comment/120299377
I then privately asked exactly how the vision was restored and then was told:
"I believe he had compression of an optic nerve so he was virtually blind in one eye. The tumor vanished in like 8 months with mebendazole, but he still had near blindness in his eye. Taught him about DMSO eye drops. The very next morning, his wife text me and said his vision had returned to normal after using the drops I made him. It was a 20%solution. I just checked in with him, and a year out, he is still cancer free and still has all his vision."
DMSO works well too for my [osteoarthritis].

[in response to a question about loss of smell and taste from COVID-19]
I smell it in. Put some 85% DMSO onto a paintbrush and either just sniff or apply to a body part and sniff. See also a reply to the Good Doctor's article on DMSO and skin where someone describes using essential oils to repair the sense of smell.
Mine gradually disappeared year on year over the last 20 years. I've been doing all this for 3 months and making marvellous progress.

If I use DMSO for several days in the same spot, I get same rash.
Just change where you use it. Shift the spots a little bit, give areas a "rest" from the DMSO thing.
I've tried the ameliorations - castor oil, coconut oil, aloe vera - but - use too much on one spot = get a rash. Rash heals when you rest the area.

First, I have to report that I use DMSO for bone mets in one vertebrae of the spine and on tailbone. It has been a lifesaver. I had trouble figuring out where the pain and aching was originating from and then imaging finally located. So, I take DMSO orally and also apply topically to the affected areas. I am pain-free which allows me to sleep and do daily activities. Figuring out dosing was challenging, but have worked that out. Also, original tumor spot is activity free-ish - I also use DMSO on it and it appears to still be there to some degree but not doing anything.

DMSO dissolving a cyst on my scalp
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-remarkable-secrets-of-coconuts/comment/118274172
I've been trying out DMSO and have had one small (but striking to me) success. After tending to my husband for a handful of gout flare-ups (including one that required steroids as well as Mitigare to resolve), I believe I understand the symptoms. When I started having pain by the right bunion area while walking, I took my shoes and socks off to have a look. Sure enough, my foot was thicker in that area. It was not really red or hot yet. I decided to try DMSO. I rubbed it on 5-6 times that day. Then I read that people soak their feet in a baking soda bath. So the second day I made a paste of DMSO (70%) and aluminum-free baking soda and applied it several times. By the 3rd day I was pain-free and could walk perfectly fine, even though there was still some swelling. I also noticed that my skin was rougher in the places where the baking soda had stayed thicker on my skin. By day 4 I was not putting anything on and my feet were the identical thickness again. My husband thinks I did NOT have gout based on the fact that it didn't get as bad as his flare-ups had. I think I intervened in time. I don't know if the roughness would have smoothed out on its own, but I did rub cold-pressed, unrefined organic castor oil on it for a couple of days and my foot is perfect again. (Note: I previously had bunionectomies on both feet over 25 years ago)

I have slightly arthritic knees (I blame on the beating they took from basketball in my younger years) which would always hurt me the day after I did any sort of high or even medium impact activity (even bike riding). I started spraying my knees with 70% DMSO after every workout/bike-ride. I hardly feel any pain now the next day. I can't thank you enough for your DMSO material! It also took care of a chronic trigger-finger/tendinitis on one of my thumbs. Something that 2 cortisone shots couldn't do, and I was already contemplating surgery. It did take 4+ months of daily use until I could be sure that the DMSO was actually working - and I would've given up long before that had I not read in one of your substacks that for chronic issues it can take a few months.

Reporting a DMSO miracle even tho off topic. I have had cyst in scalp removed surgically 2x and once with a fish oil injection by integrative practitioner. I started using DMSO gel daily on my unicorn bump, and after it swelled up and hurt for a month, it dissolved, a thin liquid came out and has been draining for the last 4 days. Just a bit of puffiness now. I am thrilled!

Another eye appointment coming up soon and I'm eager to see what the status is.

I started to use dmso about 3 months ago. I mixed up about a 50% solution with distilled water and dmso. I gradually increased the strength from 50% to 60% and now 70%. Up until I had started using dmso, I had been seeing a chiropractor for my wrists and thumbs. The pain that I had came on suddenly. I tried to think what kind of repetitive motion things I'd been doing. At first, I thought about the chain maille jewelry making that I had been learning. I thought that could do it; but, it had been months since I had made anything.
I think I'd been seeing the chiropractor once ever 7 to 10 days before I got my first bottle of dmso, after reading so many articles from Midwestern Doctor. Now, with the chiropractic therapy and the dmso therapy, the thumb and wrist of my left hand is relatively pain free. It's taking longer for the right wrist and thumb to recover; but, I can tell that there is significant improvement.

I am having a problem with the outside of my right hip. For a few years I heard a noise in the hip when raising my leg. I finally think it is the tendon sliding over the hip joint. There was a flare up about 4 months ago and it started again in the last week. One scary aspect; going down stairs the pain almost collapsed my leg.
I have been using 100% gel DMSO applied to the skin of my hip and lower back area. Some days I have used it twice and sometimes once. There are helpful results sometimes, but the pain can come back. I plan to keep the applications of DMSO. I will begin to apply 3 times a day and keeping records.

I have been using dmso for years on my wrist, knees, and back. Its a miracle. You don't even have to swallow it for it to make you smell like garlic. It goes through the skin quick, and into the body, and your body will produce the smell. An unfortunate side effect of a great medical tool.

This may seem silly and trivial…but I have found taking DMSO in raw milk orally eliminated the smell that a person puts off when taking it. My husband had a stem cell transplant and since stem cells were stored in DMSO, he smelled so bad I couldn’t stand to get near him for a while. Later I learned about using it and just to take it in something that masked the taste I used raw milk. None of us ever developed the stink. I read Dr. Jacob’s book and he briefly mentioned the same outcome in the Chilean children and attributed it to them drinking raw milk. Hope that helps someone who is using it orally.

We have been having success for some years now in obtaining Acyclovir in PARENTERAL form (for i.v.....) (glass vial that receives a diluent) and re-consitituying
the medication. Mixing 40% this 60% Dmso and apply to the lesions for HERPES Zoster
infections. On the skin. Especially in the acute - few days - infections is very effective.
If months, helps but very little.
Lesions dry up quickly and, especially, seldom recure. In a few times used the same has
happened in genital. Infections; not have tried for G. warts. Probably less effective.....

Hi Lance, Thank you for your contribution to this article. I have read everything I can and I am most interested in your research. Yesterday I started using the D-Hematoxylin on my Mom for metastatic kidney cancer that has created a 5.3 x 4.0 cm tumor in her right lung. I mixed 1/4 teaspoon of hematoxylin into 1/2 teaspoon of 99.9% DMSO in a glass and used 2 drops of this mixture in 3 cm saline solution in her nebulizer. The second dose I used 4 drops. She had quite a bit of coughing and this morning she coughed up a 2 1/4 inch chunk of blood that had been compressed into looking like a bronchial tube. (These scared me until pulmonologist told me how they are formed) and has completely stopped coughing. I nebulized 5 drops of nascent iodine with saline because some fresh blood followed the clot and then after a nap and few hours had passed, gave her two drops of D-hematoxylin in saline.
I tried it first on myself before I used it on my Mom and there was no change in the nebulizer and no effect on me. When Mom used it, the nebulizer turned red, showing us what Dr. Tucker was talking about when he said it only stains the cancer cells.
This is where I got the hematoxylin. Everything I read seems to indicate it is 100% hematoxylin. On the top right of the bottle is says “Chemical Name (%) and right below that it says Hematoxylin (100) CAS517-28-2

Dear AMD.
I've had swollen fingers for years, diagnosed as gout from the symptoms, also as arthritis and knuckle pads. Turns out that the irritating factor is not crystals, but thorns, splinters, dirt and other muck and rubbish in my fingers. Quite literally hundreds of bits have come out of my hands since applying DMSO (literally) and also drinking it. Varying the concentration every few days seems to work best, but definitely including 85%.
Swelling and pain much reduced, and movement improved. Still persevering.
Feet a similar story.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/whats-the-healthiest-water-to-drink/comment/107151445
Some of the things stuck in my fingers were actually bodily materials, such as scabs and dry blood, and slivers of dry skin. I work outside a lot and tend to allow blood and cuts to dry on the skin, just washing it off in the evening (or failing to do so). I have had very dry skin over the years, and this partly accounts for dirt getting incorporated into the layers of skin instead of washing off.
I've also realised that I actually should be picking off scabs (having had it drummmed into me to never do so). Whereas the scab material locks around splinters and thorns, and the foreign material comes out along with the scab.
I also have a lot of bite scars on my hands from puncture wounds, and these opened up again revealing dark marks in the centre. In recent years I've learned to continue to scratch out bite wounds and apply saline, until all signs of pus bubbling up have cleared. These wounds did not reopen, only the older ones. So these old ones reopened I scratched them out as well, then allowing them to reheal.
When these old wounds were reopening, my skin looked quite bad, bubbling up and looking horrible. So I surmise that some people's 'bad reactions' to DMSO, are in fact good healthy reactions as the DMSO does its work. I also wonder if this could account for why DMSO appears to cause eczema in some people...that instead it's revealing old layers of skin irritation that didn't heal properly, instead just layered over with additional skin.
During the time that the majority of the dirt was coming out of my hands (roughly 6 weeks)I needed a great deal of extra rest. I surmise that a similar process was going on inside my body of clearing away excess fibrous tissue. Certainly I have a lot more general flexibility of movement now.
Thank you again many times for your fabulous work.

Thank you very much for all your work. You're recommendations have helped me tremendously. I'm terribly EMF sensitive and have had neurological issues due to psychosocial distress and a bit on the ASD spectrum. I now have balance, energy, motivation, clarity, calmness, resilience that I could not achieve with supplements. EMF sensitivity is still a constant but DMSO calms my nervous system and muscles quickly to where its manageable. This is why I divide the dose am and pm.

MWD - Interesting tidbit... Five nights a week I take a tablespoon of 100% DMSO diluted to 20%. (It potentiates the 160mg IR verapamil I take at the same time for nocturnal leg cramps yielding total control.) The DMSO then takes over my morning Keto diet meter reading. Stopping DMSO for one day drops the ppm reading by 40%. Stopping for two days drops it by 91%. For me this verifies your recommendation to limit DMSO to five days a week.

I’ve used DMSO on superficial wounds(paper cuts, scrapes, when you jam your fingernail and it separates from the skin a little. Hate that! ) and I am always amazed the next day. If it isn’t nearly all “sealed” it’s usually more than halfway healed overnight! Usually by the next day, pain is gone and just tender feeling. It speeds up wound healing like nothing else.

I have been treating myself and my wife with oral DMSO. One advantage is that I don't notice her garlic breath as I have the same thing and the odor sensitive cells are saturated, so I am insensitive to DMSO breath. I stopped the decline of early onset Alzheimer's in my wife by luck. She developed some horrid bed sores. I broke out the emergency use drugs, veterinarian grade pharmaceuticals, ivermectin and fenbendazole.
1 tsp per day for each of us still uses up the 8oz bottles from the DMSO store, available at Amazon for $26. Each shipment from Amazon includes an invitation for one to visit the DMSO store. I just bought a gallon for $160 that will allow me to refill several 8oz bottles for $10 each. Buy the small bottles and test diluted samples topically before trying highly diluted oral doses of 1 tsp per day. I use 1 tsp in 6 oz of fruit juice. It still has an oily taste.
The month by month decline stopped. Way too late. She is bed bound and I have to feed her by hand. Stable for 18 months. Eats well, better hygiene, has her left with no sores or irritated pink skin. So, now I am trying to help her brain cells caught in "cell danger response" to wake up. Thus, the 1 tsp of DMSO per day. It is perfectly legally and morally acceptable for me to do something that doctors cannot. I am using gentle sexual stimulation to increase brain function. She babbles more. Still not understandable. Hip and leg motion does prove stimulation. I don't know if this will improve brain function over time. It has improved her acceptance of changing her Depends.

I starting using the DMSO last night. I got the tingling and itching where I applied it like expected. Afterwards, I could feel it moving through my body and having an effect on different areas, but the best part was I could feel my sinuses opening up and I could breath better. I had the best sleep last night, I didn't want to get up this morning. Today, my husband and I are noticing that water tastes different to us. It has this horrible after taste now. I haven't noticed a change in taste with anything else. I've had my taste change after a parasite cleanse so I know how that sense can respond changes in the body but wondered if this was common side effect and if it goes away over time.

I also applied it to my back and shoulders that get sore from stress, I would say the pain was about 90% gone. It took about 15 minutes for the pain relief to kick in. Have used it several times on my hubby's back and shoulder when he has pain after jiu jitsu, he says it helps significantly.

Disclaimer: This is not official medical advice—interpret and apply as you see fit. I’ve been following a cystic fibrosis patient whose lung function had steadily declined over 25 years. In just one month, we achieved a remarkable turnaround using a simple, integrative approach: Topical DMSO 99% applied to chest and back Nebulized glutathione, starting at 125 mg twice daily and titrating every two weeks up to 500–600 mg twice daily A follow-up PFT revealed a 5% improvement in FEV₁—virtually unheard of in CF. I’ve since observed similar benefits in several COPD patients (both emphysema and chronic bronchitis phenotypes). As for propolis and hydrogen peroxide nebulization, I recommend sticking to the oral route for propolis, since inhaled formulations can sometimes irritate airways and negate the gains from DMSO and glutathione. The same caution applies to hydrogen peroxide nebulization.

I am a physician with 43 years of practice so far. I told a fellow MD about the DMSO I had read in your articles. He applied DMSO to a physician who had intractable headaches and somehow cured what none of the neurologists could fix. No more headaches and no further treatment. This patient MD was going to quit work because of the headaches! I have many patients now who have benefited from your great work in putting these articles together. Thanks from all.

In the winter especially, I get these tiny splits (a tiny open wound) in the skin on my finger tips, which are exceedingly painful if you bump the finger tip on anything. Which is very east to do if I am doing any kind of manual labor, or just doing anything. Last one I had a month or so back, I had been dealing with it for a couple of weeks, rubbing in every known lotion trying to keep it soft. But it seemed no better. (when I used to work in the hospital, many would get these from using latex gloved coated with powder to make them easier to get on. The only thing that ever helped us was a very powerful prescription steroid cream, but using 1% hydrocortisone cream(non- prescription) didn't seem to help much. ......................................... Anyway, this last one, I decided to SOAK it for a minute or 2 in 99.9% DMSO. Within 2 hours, it was noticeably better! The next day it was 90% better. I soaked it again. By later that day 100% of pain was gone, though it took a few days for the split to 100% close up. I was thrilled, thinking I'd never have to suffer with these things again! ......................... Well, a couple of days ago I was doing a lot of work repairing some rotted wood behind a gutter on my house. ( kind of hard because I had no help and am 76 years old) I developed another one my thumb. I soaked in DMSO, and did not get much improvement. Repeated, still not much improvement, thought "OH NO, it is not going to work!". I have been coating it with equiv of chap stick to keep it flexible and moist and reduce the pain. Now, 2 or 3 days into it, I soaked it 1 more time. Now, a few hours later, I notice pain is 90% gone!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I think this was s significantly larger split, plus it was extra hard not to re-injur it what with it being on my thumb. Even buttoning a shirt was painful and re-injuring. Maybe that is why it took longer? But even so, these things can take weeks to heal, so I am still delighted!

I did the same thing a couple days ago after taking a flying fall on a hiking trail. I was wearing gloves but the fall still broke the skin on the heel of my palm. I applied DMSO to the periphery of the bleeding area.
Now here's the amazing part of that story. After I got up from the fall, I had a bruise on the muscle just to the right of, and slightly above, the kneecap of the left leg (quad muscle). It was about the size of a nickel, blue-ish and getting darker. I had arnica with me, so I took some. I realized the hike was over, so I began hiking back to the trailhead, but the pain in my knee and the quad muscle was intense. Then I remembered I had DMSO in my pack. I put some on the bruised area, the pain went away immediately, but the surprise was so did the bruise! I mean like maybe 1/2 minute, 1 minute, the blue color of the bruised tissue was back to normal. I've never had a bruise like that disappear. I figured it would turn an ugly black and blue and would take a week or more for it to disappear. The pain came back as I was walking, but I just reapplied DMSO about every 20 minutes or so till I got back to the trailhead. Two days later the leg is almost back to normal, no residual pain when I walk or even run very slowly. DMSO is a miracle!

I just got some DMSO for myself and my patients and I’ve been experimenting with it. It’s so good to read just how safe and effective it is. I am blown away!

Just wanted to tell you that I have been making a skin serum with ascorbic acid power, a little baking soda to balance the PH, distilled water and DMSO. It is very effective and my skin hasn't looked better. The only downfall is I have to make a fresh batch regularly as I can not use any preservatives ( although the vit C has that capacity) due to the possibility of DMSO amplifying it's effects. Reading about the use of DMSO in skin cancer treatments was very interesting, thank you.

1) I have moved my oral DMSO to bedtime. I take 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon in a glass of water. As a result I no longer need to treat the soles of my feet. The nocturnal shooting pains have not returned.
2) I have had a patch of prickly, itchy, gnarly, lumpy varicosities in my right calf since 2015. Several weeks ago at bedtime I began applying 100% DMSO, covering with food wrap and an ACE bandage. It burns for the expected 20 minutes and then quiets down. The prickle and itch are largely resolved and the lumps are still there but are amazingly softer.

I can barely tolerate liquid DMSO at 5% 2x week (fyi I did have some positive results at 5%), but I tried the 70% gel with and without aloe vera and I can tolerate gel with minimal itching at 35%.

I'm using DMSO for my pet goldfish. It got too cold one night about a month ago. For a week it looked completely dead except for a tiny movement in the gills. Now it's swimming for a minute several times a day and starting to look hopeful as I gradually give it a bigger daily dose.

I'm taking DMSO to see what it can do for my CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia), and it's worked pretty well so far! After taking 15ml daily for 2 months, my lymphocyte count dropped 25%, from 14.5 to 10.9. That's lower than it was when I was diagnosed 5 years ago. It was 12.3 then. I only weigh 115 pounds, so you may need more, depending on your weight. I based my dosage on a guy who posted about his success with it whose weight was 225 and he took 30ml/day. Whatever you decide to do, good luck to you!

I did use ivermectin and fenben for 10 months in '23-'24, and they worked too. Also got my count down to the same as now, but it went back up right after I stopped them. By then I'd heard about DMSO and decided to try it. No other treatments, except for a few supplements-vitamin D, k2, & zinc. I just this week started on green tea extract and curcumin supplements. That's a CLL treatment I tried before, but I'm hoping it works better in combination with the DMSO.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-dangerous-automation-of-information/comment/99628808
Sorry I forgot that. I'm taking it 100% undiluted. I've had no side effects at all.
Yes, I have a shot glass with a 15ml mark on it. Just pour it in and chug it. Most people say it tastes terrible, but I kind of like it myself.
I feel I'm gaining grounds [on long covid] with DMSO 1 tablespoon twice a day with the global issues, if I can just remember to do it consistently. And will explore the chlorine dioxide which I have after I'm consistent with a DMSO, and my cognition comes up a little bit more. Excited that Corry KORYwrote a letter to allow DMSO, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide and I think a few other things TO HAVE THE BAND TAKEN OFF SO THEY CAN BE RESEARCHED FOR HUMAN USE .

Thanks Doc, your formula for pain relief of DMSO and CDS has been a saving grace for post weapon inflammation.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-wildfire-illness-can-teach-us/comment/101620119
Condition: inflammation and fracture of medial femural condyle due to folded-over stray piece of meniscus.
Objective: to heal the bone and its inflamed surface sufficiently to make surgical removal of meniscus fragment feasible.
In addition to osteopath's recommended procedures to facilitate recovery, I applied DMSO at 100%, twice a day, to the knee, in sufficient quantity to fully wet all the surfaces, but not to run off. (This takes about 1/2 tsp or so). I let it dry in before putting on pants.
Result: HUGE PAIN REDUCTION after two treatments.
Problem and Question: At fourth treatment the skin on the knee began to sting but it went away.
Fifth treatment: stinging and a bright red rash of tiny little bumps, like the surface of broccoli, appeared on the knee.
I stopped the treatments.
There was no residual damage to the skin which returned to normal in a few hours or less.
SOLUTION ANYONE? It has been two days of no DMSO; I'd like to resume use. If I do not get the bone healed the only surgical solution is a TOTAL KNEE, a much more fraught surgery. Is a diluted solution less likely to cause the rash? If yes, is a diluted solution as effective? Or is it better to suffer the rash at 100% strength, reducing frequency of application, in order to enhance healing response? Is the rash, in and of itself, a danger, or just a passing phase that one can cautiously ignore and endure for the sake of the benefits of DMSO?

As usual: unexceptionable! I would like to give a contribution: a 12% solution of DMSO+ 10% xylitol+ 0.2% nacl+ 0.1% nahco3 sprayed every night on the nose and ears. Although it is gentle, it has a good effect on the biofilm which is the network that traps and feeds viruses. Since it is delicate, it must be used continuously

DMSO is the only thing that stops my headaches in their tracks. 1 tsp in a jigger of grape juice, the relief is immediate.
Unfortunately, the smell on my body is also immediate, and if I want to have a relationship with my husband, I cannot take. He's spoken of the smell as "stale urine," "rotting flesh," or "rotten fruit."
I kind of resent his extreme reaction to my stench, but the hassle of dealing with him is too great - he has cut me off from an effective treatment - then he can deal with my grumpy, pained self.
So - the headaches come, and I'm back to paracetamol & codeine (cannabis medicine doesn't do anything for headaches, but helps immensely with musculoskeletal pain).
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-grotesque-bird-flu-scam-and-how/comment/96546691
I rubbed DMSO cream plus Plantain beeswax ointment on my chest and neck for congestion and it worked great! Didn't think to rub the DSMO on my forehead for some reason!

DMSO works for my headaches. Start with low concentration and increase as needed. First few applications may itch or sting but each skin area adapts after a few applications. I used to use lots of aspirin but haven't used any since learning about DMSO from AMD.

I have extremely sensitive skin but have never had a rash from using DMSO. I had itching a couple times with my feet, but it wasn't surface/skin itching, it was deeper, like when something is healing and it itches. It went away. I think there was something that was helped by DMSO

A question regarding DMSO: Are migraine-like headaches a side effect that you've heard of? I've experimented with it enough at this point that I can say with certainty that it causes migraines for me. There is a linear relationship between the dose and the pain. At 1mL per day, I detect almost nothing; at 5mL per day I detect moderate symptoms; at 20mL per day I'm laid out in bed unable to function. It always starts in my frontal sinus and spreads throughout my head. The migraine consistently comes on after ~18 hours of drinking DMSO.
I have a mild, chronic mucosal inflammation in my frontal and ethmoid sinuses, and minimal inflammation in my maxillae and sphenoid sinuses. Perhaps that's part of it. Perhaps the supplements I'm taking are part of it. But whatever interaction may be at play, it's bad enough that my use of DMSO needs to be less than 2mL per day (at which dose I experience only minimal positive effects). Although the positive effects that I do feel at higher doses include faster healing, well being, reduced anxiety, reduced inflammation etc. which is truly wonderful.

My friend, George (70 year old obese male with a disabling spinal injury, limited mobility and slow metabolism) was diagnosed with Stage 4 Merkel Cell carcinoma in August. He had a surgical procedure to cut out the bump on the outside of his right calf and a tiny bit more near the lymph node close to his right hip. After 2 months, when the standard, "compression socks and elevate the legs procedure" wasn't working; we began treating the surgical wound with a once daily application of DMSO 70/30 gel in the last week of October. (Also weekly acupuncture treatment from a highly experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor for 5 or 6 weeks, before Christmas.) The 3.5 inch long bloody gash is now a narrow, half inch wedge-shaped crack that no longer requires a bandage. His last scan showed a very slight swelling of the lymph node but nothing abnormal given the wound healing going on in that leg.

Do you have any resources on making a mouthrinse with DMSO? I did a 50% dilution based on your previous article and wow was it strong (but tooth pain gone). Is it possible to add clove oil or something to it or would that cause issues?

I had 'brain fog' for 6-8 weeks after a total hip job which I am pretty sure was from the anesthetic, started drinking 2 tsp DMSO in 8oz water ~6-7 weeks after the op [after reading your article on internal uses for DMSO] and feel this totally cured it in about 1 week and now my brain is very much back to normal]

I used to have the kind of mind that once skated through an Ivy League degree. Thanks to your writings on DMSO and Walsh's nutritional therapy (ADHD), the last couple weeks I have begun to feel the fire that used to burn inside of my mind, the brilliant processing ability I used to take for granted. My brain actually works!! I started studying a difficult subject because my long-struggling brain now needs something to chew on. I can actually dream about building something in life. Due to DMSO, when I look into my body, I don't see patches of dark with only a few cells producing light, I'm beginning to see more life energy throughout. I spent thirteen years with the sole, fulltime mission of self healing, and thanks to your work I understand the cause and have a treatment that seems to be bumping me closer to 100% than I ever dared hope. You are making a huge difference in the world.
I can try to explain what I did to get to where I was before these treatments, but I'm not sure it's replicateable.

I live in what is known as a medical desert here in France, where it can take months or years to find any practitioner to take a new patient. I have found your information on DMSO absolutely invaluable, as have several of my close friends. It's just so very sad we didn't have this knowledge years ago.

With a Covid protocol I regained part of my smell and taste which is exactly as you explained in your hearing loss. You can smell some things and other things really smell off because you've lost just certain parts Where food that used to taste good taste like medicine, or sewage. As it starts to return it normalizes. Thanks again for sharing. I will say I started drinking DMSO utilizing the basic protocol because I was desperate with no money and no doctors that think Long-Haul is real, or whatever. And the neuropathy/atrophy/sensation in my lower right leg started to normalize. Pretty cool after three years of the above symptoms along with intermittent edema in both legs drastically went down. all of these symptoms started with Covid/Long-Haul 2020

Base of skull is also an excellent place to do a topically as your brain houses a lot of the neurological functioning of our sensory systems. I was amazed that it was either DMSO and or chlorine dioxide used as eardrops help profoundly for conditions that are so hard for people to get rid of. But again I believe the Midwestern docs or Dr. Yoho said that taking it orally is tenfold effective for many conditions like you're talking about, and then you actually find out it helps other things you never thought would change. So much new research out there that supports all this, sure to share if you find anything that you really like research wise That can help us grow.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-they-dont-tell-you-about-anxiety/comment/96977118
I totally understand what you are saying. But I'm seeing changes that I never thought possible using DMSO, ivermectin as well as LDN in the injuries I've gotten since Covid.
So DMSO is working for you ..... fantastic, and only if you're comfortable
you could start a lower dose orally in Purified/distilled water and titrate up As needed or tolerated like I did.
Some sources say you can camouflage the taste in different types of liquids but I would refer to
A REPUTABLE TRUSTED/experienced RESORCE (Stanley Jacobs, the Midwestern doctor, Dr. Yoho)
as anytime we make modifications to a suggested protocols, it can totally change the way it was meant to be used, as well as the bio availability of the product that were using.
I have been applying DMSO topically on my face, neck and around my ears, as well as several parts of my body (arms, legs, abdomen) for four months.
A few things:
1) A skin tag on one of my arms dried up and fell off.
2) One of the covid vaccine side effects that I experienced is that I lost hearing in the low tone and high tones. After topical use of DMSO for several months, my low tone mild hearing impairment is now in the normal range. It improved by 10 to 15 dB in both ears. However, my high tone hearing impairment has not yet improved.
3) I have not been as susceptible to respiratory imfections.
4) My brain fog has improved. (Another covid vaccine side effect).
5) I am more emotionally balanced and feel energetically protected.
I am 51 years old, for reference.
Thank you for all of the info you share!

He told me to check with my doctor about applying DMSO on my total knee replacement area—my doctor said no. I’m thinking that DMSO would eventually degrade the implant, since it’s made from cobalt and polyethylene, and since DMSO is a solvent.
Before I asked the doctor, I applied DMSO on my knee—just two applications, and it seemed to have helped my range of motion and inflammation. Unfortunately, it’s not wise to use it, so I stopped.

A couple of days ago, a skin tag that I had on my arm for more than 2 years fell off. I had no idea what caused it to fall off. It occurred to me about a day later that the DMSO I had been applying to my arms once a day was likely the reason!!!! Amazing!!

I had a little skin horn on my finger. Just a rough snag that I could feel. I put 1% DMSO on it, and it "flaked off" forming a small crater. The crater took a week to heal, but the horn is much smaller and less intrusive (it is still there, and I'm still treating it regularly when I remember).

My Dear Midwestern Doctor, I am actually in awe of the thoroughness and exactitude of your writings in your Substack. It has helped me enormously since I've been following you as a subscriber . . . particularly, in my case your posts on DMSO which I've been able to use to handle the pain resulting from spinal injuries incurred playing Rugby in my youth in Australia 75 years ago.
This piece on sleep is another masterwork . . .
Than you!

I’m happy to hear the Dr Miller is finding success with DMSO. My husband and I are trying it for different issues and are finding success. The big issues were for neuropathy and arthritis, which have been extremely successful and relieved us of pain. I’ve reported these before. But recently, I began treating enlarged pores and an enlarged hair follicle on my face successfully. I use it full strength even though AMD recommended using it about 1/2 strength with no problems. We are also trying to rid our bodies of the seborrheic keratoses with some improvement. It is definitely a miracle drug.

DMSO helped my plantar fasciitis - which was from a broken toe pulling on the muscles of the foot.
The next time I broke a toe, I used DMSO right away, and it was a much better healing.
Turns out, hubby broke a toe 3 days ago, and after DMSO he hardly notices it. He's now a believer.
THE ONLY WAY you will figure it out is to get some and start small. Use it on something insignificant - that mole that's been bothering you. Gain confidence as you gradually increase the percentage.
I started with 1%, and as I watched my skin improve, made up a 30%. It took me a few weeks to get up to 70%. I now coat my entire body once a day with it.
FOR MY BODY, it seems to need to be 50-70% to penetrate muscles. But 1%-30% seems fine for skin & topical.

I developed a weakness in my left ankle/heal area with pain only when going up stairs. It really hurt.id have to hang on to the railing to pull myself up. I started rubbing on DMSO 99.995% gel I got at Tractor Supply. I rubbed it in good around 2 times a day. I don’t mind the bit of itching and burning I feel but it goes away. It helped right away and within 2 weeks it’s gone. Along with some mild knee pain that I had not even used the gel on. I would definitely use DMSO for PF. I had that once and never want it again. Thinking I may have saved weeks of barely getting around in pain if I had known about DMSO.

Hi, I have chronic pain in my right ankle, and have been using DMSO topically, from the DMSO Store (on Amazon), pharmaceutical grade, every night and the pain is improving. My pain if from years and years of running. I've been very impressed with how much better my ankle feels.
I also put two teaspoons in water, cranberry juice (Northland) and Aronia Berry concentrate (On Amazon) every day and that's been a big help to my arthritis overall. (The drink is ~ 16 oz water, 2 oz Aronia concentrate and 6 oz of cranberry juice).
I spoke to my doctor about DMSO and she was very enthusiastic- she uses it topically and recommends it to her patients. Note - she's in independent practice and is not in network with any insurance carriers.

I’ve been using 20% diluted on my face for the last two weeks and my skin is smoother and tighter and any skin discoloration I had has almost disappeared. However the first week of using it I had what I thought was a pimple form on my scalp which has never happened before and puss oozed out of it for a couple days. Now it’s healed and completely gone. I have read similar things happening to other people.. possibly the body getting rid of toxins?

So yesterday I tried DMSO on the side of my neck that's been in agony for a while because of a stenosis on the c3-c4 spinal nerve. Also may have wrenched a ligament there while weight training. I dabbed on a few drops of 99% Heiltropfen DMSO from Amazon. Fifteen bucks a bottle of this pure stuff!
I had a spell of burning that only lasted a few minutes. I repeated this once around noon and then put a few drops on again near bedtime.
After the first application the pain dropped 80-90%. Then later in the day the ligament felt a bit tender but still didn't have the pain I'd been living with
Got up this morning... No pain. I'm typing this on my cell phone which typically triggers agony because of the neck posture. Zero pain.
Thank you AMD! I'll keep using this because I really got much better and have had no short term bad side effects.

By the grace of God my son has been almost completely healed of his very severe eczema. He wore a short sleeve shirt today for the first time in his little two year old life and did not scratch once. His skin is also silky smooth!
My 63 year mom has been starting to use dmso now topically after seeing his results for her severe neuropathy and she wants to start taking it orally but is nervous because she’s on blood thinners due to have factor 5 lichen (which I have also tested positive for). She wants to try to transition off the blood thinner and just use the dmso. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Last night when I was taking a shower before bed, I noticed what seemed like a swollen lymph node in my left armpit. It was achy and tender to the touch. I put on the DMSO straight onto the skin and went to bed and in the morning, it was gone. Thank you Midwestern Doctor for putting this incredibly useful info out there!

For many years I have used DMSO for pain and inflammation and skin problems. I have found if someone is sensitive to it, is to use a light application of organic coconut oil and the irritation either stops or lessons dramatically. No medical degree just figuring things out. I have no reactions to dmso on most of my body or orally. If I use it on my face I do use it with coconut oil. Thanks for all the wonderful alternative safe knowledge you are giving us 🙏🏼💙

For 2 days, I had an ache in my side, radiating from the kidney area and around the RUQ of the abdomen. On the second day, as I readied for a shower, I noticed a wide linear rash that started near my mid-spine and wrapped around the same side that was aching. I've had shingles 3 times--once in the same area as this ache, and in 2021 I got the shingles vax. My fear was that the ache was the shingles prodrome, and now the rash had appeared. I showered and then patted on straight (near 100%) DMSO over the rash and along my side-ache area for good measure. I let it dry and went to bed. The rash was gone the next morning, but I applied DMSO again as before. In 24 hours, the side ache was also gone. Was it shingles? Not sure, but I would do the same again and encourage friends and family to use the same treatment for suspected shingles.

I have been dealing with nail fungus for several decades (left hand and toenails) . I am 79 yrs and otherwise in good health. Over the years I have tried a diversity of topical treatments with little success . Encouraged by the postings of AMD I have been using DMSO along with oregano oil applied at the fingertips. Perhaps it is too early to tell but there seems to be noticeable improvement. I would appreciate any thoughts/comments on use of DMSO for this conditio

A friend of mine recently showed me nodules developing along the tendons in his palms indicative of the initial stages of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. I told him about and sent him your article regarding the use of DMSO for his condition. He began with rubbing 50% gel into the affected areas and increased to 70% with a view to increase again to 90%. Remarkably, the nodules were softening up and some were even noticeably shrinking in size after only a few weeks. However, the creases in his hands began to deeply pit and crack. The pits and cracks were completely painless but caused him concern, not knowing what would happen with further use or with an escalation to greater concentration

A story about cat scratch fever and DMSO:
It's been six months after this article first appeared, but I wanted to note this:
After having read the various stuff by MWD on DMSO, I decided to do a little experiment. I had a spot on my right hand, just down from the area between the thumb and first finger, where I had a serious cat scratch.
For some weeks it drained and didn't heal, despite trying colloidal silver and a few other things. The skin finally healed over but underneath was a noticeable lump about dime-sized. My doctor thought it was cat scratch fever, as the Bartonella henselae bacteria that causes it often produced such self-contained lumps. The weird thing was, it began to hurt (without any noticeable outward change) -- this was 4-5 months after the initial event. This bacteria is very hard to treat systemically because, as I understand it, it walls itself off, so to speak, from the immune system.
I decided to treat it with DMSO. At first I put it directly on the lump and put a bandage on it. That caused it to begin to drain, not pus, but liquid like that from blisters. It got a bit smaller. That draining stopped but the DMSO did irritate the skin around it (and made it peel). So I then started injecting a small amount (I'm not exactly sure how much) right into the lump with an insulin syringe. It stung a little initially but otherwise didn't both me. I did that maybe 5 times. Within about 10 days it shrank to almost nothing.

I had a bizarre and amazing experience with DMSO treating severe chronic spinal and back pain that had been bothering me for about 10 years. My holistic physician made his own solution of DMSO mixed with minerals (I think they were Mg, K, Na, Ca - Tahoma Clinic) and used it to treat joint pain. Well, I did not follow instructions and I bathed my entire back in the solution for a full 6 hours thinking it would REALLY remove any pain. Unbelievably 7 pitch black lumps rose to the surface and formed eschar scabs which finally came off about 4 weeks later. Initially I went to the ER because they were also bleeding when it first happened and quite painful. The ER doc did not say much and offered no solution. Later, I went to a Dermatology specialists who did biopsies and also did not say much except that they were eschars. I also have this experience on video. After these masses were gone my back felt fantastic and I felt 20 years younger. However, "stuff" really loosened up in my back because later it felt like "something" was moving up and down my spine in the fluid.

What great articles and information you provide. I have started on the gel on my sciatica and it has gone from a daily dull ache/pain to barely noticeable. I apply the gel once per day along my right side from the shoulder to mid thigh. I have only been using it for roughly 3 weeks.

My first purchase was the 40% solution with vitamin C (for early onset cataracts) based on a recommendation of a commenter of MWD. While making the purchase, I saw the wrinkle reducer cream and noticed a discount if I purchased $100 or more. I went for it and the results are so astounding that I purchased the full strength solution and another wrinkle cream and gave it as a gift to my housekeeper for her persistent pain.
Dilution and application is still a bit fuzzy to me and I plan to work diligently on this in a few weeks. I repeat: every single skin growth on my body: moles, 'hard' bumps that have been there for decades, all kinds of weird odd skin discoloration or malformation has disappeared after I use it. And it doesn't take long, a few weeks for those 'bumps' shorter for moles. I consider that remarkable.
I don't have any pain or aches (also remarkable at 64) so I can't attest to pain relief.
As for the eyes, the floaters have disappeared. I can't attest to disappearance of cataracts but I will persist for 6 months or so and see if it helps. Rome wasn't built in a day.

I developed almost debilitating hip pain caused by sciatic joint inflammation. I applied 70% DMSO and was shocked that the pain disappeared within 10 minutes. I have since used it successfully for less severe aches and pains caused by aging and sports. A friend has suffered terribly for years from intractable back pain caused by a work injury. He refused to take any pain killers besides aspirin. I gave him a bottle of 70% DMSO and he said it is the first thing that has given him any significant relief. Thanks for the work you do!

I have been using DMSO with either Mineral/magnesium gel or Arnica gel with great results! I have scoliosis, osteoporosis and very frequent joint pain. First began using it on my low back-an "always" pain area. And used on my legs due to cramping, along with oral magnesium. Then I moved on to using arnica gel w DMSO on my entire hip area.
I started 6 mos ago carefully applying the DMSO first with a cotton ball, then the mineral gel on top. Now I just mix them in my hand and apply to skin. I always start with DMSO and add the other ingredient. I feel relief in minutes! On very painful days I reapply ~4-5 hours later (when I feel pain). This has been a game changer for me. All that said, I have just experimented with good results!

I am injecting 30% DMSO solution into the gums using a bent needle blunt tip syringe, just to get it into the pockets not to inject gums. It’s difficult to get anything into the pockets without a blunt tip bent needle syringe.
I am also adding a little rapamycin from a crushed 1mg tablet. Maybe 1 percent solution.

15 years ago I was hospitalized with a strep infection in my blood. I was on IV antibiotics for 30 days. Before I got sick, I was a runner and equestrian who
only suffered the occasional ache and pain. After my antibiotic treatment (1st Rifampin, then changed to Vancomycin), I am plagued with generalized osteoarthritis and can no longer run. I still ride but pay the price! Your info on CWD bacteria is very interesting to me. I wonder of CWD bacteria from the antibiotic tx is the cause of my chronic joint pain? Because of your articles, I am now using “Nature’s Gift”, 70% DMSO gel. It has been very helpful. I apply it wherever I hurt that day but I feel it helps my pain all over. I think it penetrates my skin, possibly entering my bloodstream and has a general anti-inflammatory effect. It does make my skin itch for a few days after application but it’s worth it for the pain relief!

I live in S. FL and go barefoot in the yard frequently. Many years ago I was infected with cutaneous larva migrans, as was a friend. She went to an allopath who treated her with topical steroids, and I can't remember what else. That itching is quite uncomfortable, but I spread tea tree oil on my skin and then DMSO and the combination was rapidly curative.

just a quick update on my tooth's remarkable recovery. I took your advice and stopped putting it on my cheek after 3 weeks of 2/day usage....and now it feels, well, normal. I was only eating soft foods on it at first but now I am eating everything with it and no pain or sensitivity. I am amazed and so pleased. Thank you so much for all your efforts... you have saved a tooth, a small thing to be sure, but a big thing for me...

Donna, my roommate is using DMSO for her tinnitus and general hearing loss; she just completed six weeks of her protocol. She soaks a Q-tip in 50% solution, cuts it in half, then rests a half in both ears for two hours, twice a day. She reports overall serious improvement in hearing ability, and her tinnitus improvement is intermittent. That is, the tinnitus has lessened, but it's not linear. Some days she reports that it's as loud as it ever was, and some days it's almost imperceptible.
Again, this is six weeks of treatment, after 14 years of tinnitus and hearing loss, so it seems pretty dramatic.
She asks me to report on the lymph nodes in her neck, which have been swollen for 30 years. Both sides have been drastically shrunken with DMSO use in her ears, with one side now at a normal size and the other nearly normal.
By the way, I have not been using it for my ears specifically, but I am also hearing tiny sounds that I haven't heard in years. I'm using it to address asymptomatic vitreomacular traction. Since there are no symptoms, and I was diagnosed because my ophthalmologist just purchased an expensive OCT machine, I can't tell if there is improvement or not. My sense is that there is some added clarity (I have/had a nascent cataract in one lens), but it's possible that is from the power of suggestion.

Weighing in again.
I've been applying 50% dmso around my entire hip since 10/28/24. Arthritic and torn labrum, hip replacement candidate. I am completely off meloxicam now. I can walk without pain, the exception is specific movements that twinge but cease when that specific movement is curtailed. Will be interesting to see what surgeon says in my first consult next week. I'd like to avoid surgery.
I should also mention that I was doing hip exercises daily for 18 months which improved mobility and range of motion, but it wasn't until the dmso that the pain started to cease. Thus no more nsaids.
I was quite ill with some nasty flu crud, took me down for two weeks. I ceased dmso during that time. What is interesting is the improvements in my hip pain did not revert for lack of dmso treatments. I started back up again and pain is continuing to diminish, though improvement is nearly imperceptible. But then you realize later that improvement is actually dramatic over the course of time. Since this is a chronic condition, I'm resigned to at least a nine month trial. It's only been a month and a half.
Also, I had an incident during a self defense class, where I clearly blew up some portion of my elbow, which within days turned into a screaming inflammation that ran from my shoulder to my ring finger. Screaming pain, no swelling. I broke my no nsaid rule, popped one, and painted my entire arm for three days with 50% dmso. By day four there was NO PAIN. Gone.
My experience with any kind of tendinitis, which this had all the hallmarks of, is that one is looking at a prolonged rehab, and prolonged burning pain. Nope. Gone.
This stuff is so incredible. I

I too was hit with some “viral” thing. The headache was the worst! I used my Castor Oil/DMSO dilution on my forehead, the top of my head, base of my neck and behind my ears. And sometimes I used 100%! The DMSO “pain” felt better than that damn headache. The DMSO greatly helped alleviate the headache!!

I believe my wife ordered a "NOW" brand through VitaCost. I can't really tell if it helps. She seems to think it is. Ultimately, it's all about the person you love not being repulsed by your aroma!
I had two sinus surgeries and still have thick mucus. It seems that one part full strength dmso mixed with nine parts colloidal silver to make a solution and then one drop of that dropped into my ear eventually makes it’s way through my sinuses and loosens mucus. It also relieves eustachian tube pressure. And it also softens ear wax.

I thought I'd also give it a whirl on my own teeth a few times a week for gum health, etc.
I'm using it on various skin moles and they are disappearing! They are what I call 'old age' moles/skin tags, etc. Also using it as a face cream to see what it may do for minor wrinkles....admittedly, for vanity.
Drops in one eye (leaving the other for 'control' purposes) and I haven't noticed much after about 6 weeks. I plan to go another 5 months on the eye. Early-forming cataracts, not a vanity thing.
My floaters have disappeared. During the daytime, I am not putting a contact lens in the eye I am treating with the DMSO. I read quite a bit in the late afternoon/evening and I can't read without my glasses. :( I am going to give it 6 more months....in the meanwhile, I'm joyful to be alive and a healthy person.

I used it for the same purpose on Christmas! I slammed my thumb in a door and immediately coated it with dmso. It helped so much! Also helped with a burn on the underside of my forearm (from hitting the oven rack). I have often gotten these type of burns, so I know how much of a difference it made.

I squashed my finger by closing the freezer on it and we all know how that hurts! I rushed for the closest DSMO and got the eye drops [50% distilled water ] put some in a small container and put my finger in it. The pain went in 10 minutes and never came back and I have saved the nail. I put more on the cuticle everyday. I have also cut DMSO with Caster oil for my face and starting to see benefits after just a few days. A fix all. Great to get away from the Pharmacutical companies.

Hi all! My eczema is mostly under control again. I now apply it in a similar way- I coat my eczema in either aloe Vera or castor oil, then apply dmso. I am now more careful about using any other creams until waiting at least 20 minutes after dmso. I did take dmso orally for a few weeks, but it did not seem to be helping in that way and it tasted terrible. So I am no longer using it in this way. I do have to say that rubbing it around my nose and ears has really improved my chronic sinus allergy like symptoms!

Just saw your post. We started dmso on my 2 year old son who has had extreme severe eczema since he was 3 months old on December 5th. We apply a layer of aloe Vera and then spray him liberally with a dilution of 20% dmso. He is almost 100% healed. I praise God everyday for sending us this cure.

We are trying DMSO on eczema on my daughter's hands, it's looking better after just 3 days!
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-transforms-the-treatment-of/comment/83592616
We began applying a little 70% DMSO directly onto the eczema as a test. There was no adverse reaction and little to no itching, so 3 days ago we began applying it about 6 times per day, directly onto the eczema from the bottle. The skin feels smoother and small patches of eczema are looking clearer. There is a drying effect on the worst patches of eczema. So far no need for any moisturiser and hopefully this will continue as we want to stick to applying the DMSO only if possible. We have tried so many different creams in the past and nothing works, hopefully the DMSO will finally cure this persistent problem.
Maybe a combo with a steroid cream would help, we are open to suggestions.
Another cream to try with the DMSO is this: https://eczemarelief.com.au/ We are using this cream only (no DMSO) and it has helped a lot. We may begin to spray on DMSO after applying the cream, just looking for good spray bottles before trying it.
I'm so grateful for these articles. I began using DMSO 6 - 8 weeks ago for joint pain and swelling, and have expanded it's use for other conditions. The swelling in my knee and ankle, a result of an old skiing injury and bothering me these last 6 years, has gone down, the pain has gone. Much cheaper than similar results from platelet rich plasma injection I had 4 years ago.
So I started using on my scalp, as I'm mostly bald. It appears hair is beginning to grow back, and my scaly flakey scalp has healed.
I'm experimenting using it as adjunct for Bartonella infection, and I just received a lab results showing I no longer have active infection.
My wife is using it for her Dupetrons with good results, and for a skin disease on her feet, with good results.
Again, thank you for writing this series, as it's enabled is to improve several chronic conditions, inexpensively and from the comfort of our home.

For 15+ years I dealt with very frequent angular cheilitis. My dermatologist regularly prescribed Ciclopirox cream, and various topical antibiotics… several times a year, I was also prescribed oral antibiotics (usually minocycline and Augmentin). I’ve also tried all sorts of supplements and face washes… none helped much.
About 4 months ago I figured I’d try a DMSO topical preparation. Using 45mL of a hypoallergenic lotion as a base, I combined:
• DMSO 99.995% (5mL)
• Tea Tree essential oil (1mL)
• Caprylic Acid (1,200mg)
I applied it twice a day after gently washing the area, and in less than 4 days it completely resolved a moderate case of angular cheilitis I had at that time.
I’ve used it 1x - 2x daily as a prophylactic ever since, and for the first time in over 15 years I’ve gone months (and counting) without any reoccurrence.
The same preparation has also worked fantastically in resolving facial folliculitis that I used to frequently get after shaving.
PS- I’ve used the same preparation without DMSO (just lotion (45mL), Tea Tree oil (1mL), and Caprylic Acid (1,200mg)… and got little-to-no benefit for the angular cheilitis.
Edit (7/25/25): I’ve continued to fine-tune the skin preparation, and here’s what it now consists of…
(The percentages are by volume, not weight)
Versa Cream: 85.5%
DMSO 99.995%: 7.2%
Caprylic Acid: 2.8%
Tea Tree Oil: 1.4%
Oregano Oil: 1.4%
Clove Oil: 1.4%
Instructions for a 50ml batch:
For those interested in trying it, I suggest using graduated cylinders (can be bought on Amazon) for the liquids. For the cream… fill up a graduated cylinder with 42.75ml of water, then pour it into a cup and use a marker to make a line on the cup where the surface of the water is. Then fill the cup (up to the line) with the cream.
You can add the liquids directly into the cup with the cream, and then stir until completely uniform in texture.
Versa Cream: 42.75ml
DMSO 99.995%: 3.6ml

If I may butt in, I am using DMSO successfully on my right knee that was giving me problems climbing ladders. It is fine now. DMSO also got rid of the pain in my thumb that holds the computer mouse. The only area I am unsure of is a knee sprain I did a month ago and have have been treating it once or twice a day however I am not sure if is getting better due to DMSO or just the natural healing process.

Our big success with DMSO has been with our dog. She was having mini-strokes that caused her to rapidly lose balance, hearing and sight. DMSO stopped a TIA in seconds. She's 15, and her coat was getting dry and coarse, even though we've given her salmon oil for years. Within a few days of giving her a couple of drops of DMSO with her food, the silkiness was coming back. Her coat is in better shape now than when she was young.
I put a little on my carotids every morning as cheap stroke insurance. It's also part of my routine to improve vascular circulation.

I figure at 76 I do not have pristine arteries so I just eat as clean as I can, have a high D3, no arthritis , I can walk a few miles fine and get outdoors often all year. I deal with short term stuff with alternative treatments and right now, DMSO. Oh, most important, I stay out of conventional doctors offices if I can.

My wife has had several hydrocortisone injections into her shoulder over the years, usually spaced 3-4 years apart. X-rays show nothing wrong, so it must be a nerve problem or soft tissue injury. We both understand that using steroids is a double-edged sword -- great for immediate relief, damaging to tissues long-term. The last time it flared up, I tried injecting 1 mL of a 25% DMSO solution (75% sterile water for injection, 27 ga needle) into the trigger point. She became nauseous and almost passed out from the pain. (She's not allergic to it, as she can tolerate 70% gel topically.) It later occurred to me that the "cortisone shots" she'd received probably included 1% or 2% lidocaine. After reading your comment, I'm wondering if the lidocaine did as much to stop the pain as the cortisone.
The 25% DMSO injection slowly resolved her pain over two weeks, but should it recur, would you recommend adding lidocaine to the mix?

Sorry about your misfortune, Dave Bross...I have had my share as well. I am glad you deferred in favour of the DMSO for treatment...it was wise. I am a retired Professional Fire Fighter, back yard machinist, welder, blacksmith, knife maker, jeweler and silversmith...as you may imagine, my opportunities for inadvertent burns is on the high side. I've used DMSO so many times I cannot remember the exact number, with remarkable success. I wanted to mention though, (as you seem prone to injury)...?....that I've used fresh aloe vera leaves, sliced open to get that gel, and also have used bullrush (cattail) 'mucilaginous gel' to treat burns with great success when DMSO was not available...as when alone in the bush. I think that both together would be very effective. Take care...(I mean it). All the best, David.

Well, got to try out DMSO for burns. Chalk up another one to "If you're going to be dumb, you've got to be tough."
I've had a bit of experience with severe burns, both tinkering with homemade explosives as a kid (2nd degree whole arm) and getting caught in a gasoline explosion back in the 1990s, which was 40% of my body 2nd degree. That one nearly killed me but I had an awesome doc, now retired unfortunately.
This time I thought I would run a second batch on my new steam water distiller.
I had forgotten the instructions warned about steam burns if you pull the top off too soon and they were not wrong.
I was able to get the burns iced to stop the burning right away but still got some nasty 2nd degree burns on the underside of my arm.
I've read steam burns are some of the worst, and I wouldn't argue that.
I hit it right away with DMSO and continued doing that twice to three times a day, and I can not believe how quickly this healed it up.
My other burns were many month ordeals with daily trips to the doc to scrub them out with iodine and then buttering them up with silvadene burn cream.
Drugs can't even kill that level of pain when they scrub them out with iodine.
I'm a little over two weeks out from the latest incident and it's almost completely healed up.
The pain quit in just a few days.
Wow!
I'm buying a gallon of this stuff and just pouring over my head daily. Yeah, I'm kidding, except I really did buy the gallon.

I recommend qi gong, especially the tapping exercises to help the body's flow. Chinese medicine calls it qi. I see it as helping lymph and other fluids to flow freely in the body. Lymph drainage massaging is very helpful and so is DMSO.

[for head injuries and concussions]
Just start out with one drop in 8 oz of water /day and add one drop daily. If you take Rxs then check out to see if it reacts poorly with DMSO
Get as many books as you can...use the used book stores to look for books on how to use DMSO for doctors/nurses/physical therapists, we don't know either!!!Forbidden to know!!
a small amount of 99.99% DMSO daily in water/juice etc does wonders for every category the midwestern doctor has addressed. Use 1/8-1/4-/1/2 teaspoon for head injuries of course always diluted in pure water 4-8- or 16 oz your choice. All football and soccer players should drink this for 3 days after games. Do Not worry!!! the worst it can do is make you smell like a dish of Scampi(Shrimp Garlic dish)...Regular use of low dose DMSO will open up all your capillary beds and give you pink cheeks, healthy organs!!! Its the capillary micro clotting that is at the deadliness of the C19 bushwhackers

Put some Aloe Vera on right after you apply the DMSO. It takes the itchiness away almost completely for me and I have sensitive skin. Use a real Aloe plant or the purest version you can find without too many additives. I find the real plant works best. Hope this helps.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-moves-water-inside-the-body/comment/80890951
I found 100% pure aloe vera at the organic grocery store and used it to make up 70% DMSO. It still itches a bit, but is gone in a few minutes. I do not have to wash it off and leave it 20 until dry.

Gonna start trying DMSO for other things.

I had to share - I got a really bad burn on my finger cooking a couple of days ago. I didn’t have my hand fully covered by the dish cloth when I grabbed the cast-iron pan that was in the 450° oven and really burned my thumb. It was incredibly painful. I went straight to the bathroom and I put some DMSO on it right away and within an hour maybe less the pain was gone. I kept putting DMSO on every few hours for a couple days and it’s pretty much completely fine now. There’s still a little bit of discoloration on the skin, but there hasn’t been any pain and it’s healing really nicely. Thank you for all your work! If it wasn’t for you, I never would’ve known about DMSO.

Thank you for your intensive research on the uses of DMSO. I have used the DMSO gel to significantly decrease the pain associated with OA in my knee after exercise, itchy eczema flare ups (although still working on the cause due to never having eczema as a kid) and spot treating occasional acne spots on my face. My need for ibuprofen and/or triamcinolone cream is all but gone!!!

Couldn't find much on itchy scalp, dandruff, psoriasis, etc. so thought I'd post. 3-4 months ago I suddenly, for the first time ever, got a super itchy scalp. My doctor told me to use prescription 2% ketokonazole shampoo which I've been doing. But it never really gets better and in fact like many pharmaceuticals, it seemed to work at the beginning but then stopped and instead seems like the more I use it the worse it gets. The only relief I got was from steroid cream, but that's hard to get on the scalp with all my hair. So yesterday I instead washed with an organic tea tree and peppermint shampoo, with DMSO mixed in. And I started using a dropper to put DMSO right on my scalp. Immediately the itching calmed down, but a few hours later it started again. Maybe I should have been patient but instead I added silver and kept applying with the dropper to any spots that itch. The DMSO/silver combo really worked, and stuck. Today it barely itches, and when it does a simple scratch takes care of it, I don't go into a scratching cycle that ends in a raw sore. It's only been 24 hours so I'll update in a few days.

I have been using DMSO 70% mixed with 30% sodium ascorbic acid diluted in distilled water applied 5 to 6 times a day and it is clearing up my psoriasis on my face which I have been trying to clear for 2 - 3 years. I'm also taking 6 packets of LivON Lypo spheric vitamin C1,000 mg every 4 hours a day and 20 DACHA Natural Liposomal Vitamin C 850 mg per capsule a day to remove cataracts which has been working very well as the cataracts have receded and my [eye] vision has improved to 20/20 The psoriasis is also clearing after 10 days of applications. My Occultist did not seem surprised that the vitamin C was clearing the cataracts and for all I know he was well aware that they would be cleared with the high dose liposomal vitamin C at 25,000 milligrams a day. I took the high dose for 9 months to clear the cataracts.

Science, its repeatable, predictable and observable. AND everyone can do it themselves in many cases. So one day I read up on what others have done with it on my skin and after 3 months it removed two Seborrheic keratoses with no scar.
Soon I followed it on my sore joints and not only did it take away the soreness, it healed it all together.
Then i put 4 drops or about .05% solution in an 8 ounce glass of boiled water and used a netti pot to deliver it in my sinus. Strangest thing, a polyp in my sinus is now gone without surgery. Also my allergies have mostly stopped all together.
Of course if I feel a cold coming on, I do a morning and night flush like that with DMSO and it gets me through the hard part and stops the spread

I am immensely grateful to you for all your hard work bringing to us the benefits of DMSO and how to use it. I have been using DMSO full strength through a dropper for an extremely painful sensitive tooth. One or two drops on the tooth and almost immediately I am pain free. I then swish what is left through my mouth and swallow. No problems whatsoever and now I am trying the DMSO protocol for aging skin. Today is my first day and thus far no reactions other than a little tingling. You also must know my neuropathy in my legs and feet due to diabetes is nearly gone after just a couple weeks of application. Thank you, thank you, thank you and I thank God, literally, every day for leading me to you. More updates later as they come, good or bad.

https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-revolutionizes-skin-care-and/comment/105749720
I've read everything and nobody has yet mentioned splinters.
I've had dozens emerge from my fingers and a few from my feet. Also ingrained dirt has rubbed out of creases and 2 of the joints.
On my heal a small blob of dry blood emerged and I had to ask a podiatrist to get it out along with a minute splinter.
Some come out entirely spontaneously so I'm not sure just how many there have been. Larger ones, which are mostly from roses, need to be scratched out. Often a sense of relief and release comes too, probably the most reliable signal that the entire piece is out.
70% DMSO directly onto hands and feet is more powerful than 30%. I will try 90% next. By mouth seems to stimulate them to come out of the finger pads.
Years ago a doctor told me that the finger pad sensitivity and pain was Reynolds, which I found hard to believe.
Enough have emerged to make holding a pencil less painful. Hoping to be able to sew again without pain but getting impatient now. Started to happen late January. Most are painful as they emerge.
Have done much gardening during my life. Have had very dry skin at times and have not taken care to wash properly at the end of a gardening session. Will do in future.

I find DMSO brilliant for bites wounds. I start with 30% diluted with distilled water, and if the wound stays inflamed (only once) increase to 70%.
Both puncture and more superficial wounds weep puss without DMSO, sometimes for weeks.

I have trimengial neuralgia on the left side of my face. It has been agonising and incapacitating. My doctor prescribed Tegretol which I have currently been too frightened to take because of the potential side effects, but was starting to feel I had no alternative. I have tried DMSO cream with aloe vera (70% DMSO) for 3 days and the relief has been considerable. The pain has not gone entirely but is more bearable.

This has helped with a slowly healing ankle sprain. It was mostly good, but I would get pain and restricted movement on and off. This relieved the pain. Also, I had some pain on a rather tender part of my body. Some of which had been there since a young kid. Some judicious application made it pain free for the first time.

I suffer from cold hands at anything below +5'C. So I decided to rub DMSO on my hands. By chance I also use a finger pulse/oximeter regularly. After applying DMSO last nite my readings are 98-99 %. This morning they were back to the usual 96-98. So I rubbed more DMSO onto my hands and the reading climbed back to 98-99%. [Likely Reynaud's]
I had varicose vein surgery about 4 years ago. I had surface treatments to get rid of spider veins then also. I did this over a two-year period. Since that time, I’ve again developed some of the surface veins, especially around ankles and feet. I was going to go back to the vein clinic but read one reader’s post about being told that there are limitations on how many treatments you can have. At the same time, I read this post about veins and DMSO. So, I decided to give it try. I’ve been following the posts and also Mercola’s summary articles related to MWD posts on DMSO.
I’ve used it multiple days in the past week and am beginning to notice some change but plan to continue using it to see how it works.

Hi Doc, I was gonna give this a couple weeks but I’m having such amazing results from using DSMO around my eyes I wanted to get in touch. I have a really complicated eye history—mostly retina stuff (drusen, ERM and high pressure) that I’m told is just genetic bad luck. I also have super dry eyes and have had belphritis many times that left my eyelids inflamed for a very long time. I ordered DMSO from amazon and Jacob labs and so far have just tried the amazon ‘natures gift’ version. I’ve had inflammation on eyelids for over a year. It’s almost gone in about a week. I also think it may be making ‘floaters’ less bothersome—but maybe my eyes are just less dry. I don’t know whats going on or how it works—but it is helping. I sent to one of my eye dr’s but no response. I want to figure out how to get it in an eye drop…but I def need someone to direct me on this. Thank you does not cover how thankful I am that you researched this and posted about it. Very grateful! I have photos that show the diff. THANK YOU. Julie Baker

I have noticed a surge in energy since drinking DMSO. I’m taking T3 now. But dosage is the issue. I have not ever had severe hashimotos symptoms but I changed my diet from long term low carb low calorie to a more pro metabolic diet because my metabolism tanked and no doubt down regulated my thyroid. It’s been hard to switch back to being a glucose burner and not the more inferior fat burner. But I’m getting there. I was gaining weight on the tail end of this keto experiment and my sleep and anxiety was terrible. I
These are improving now, even before the T3.

I have lost about a kilo of water weight since I started ingesting.
I have a fairly clean diet, but still struggle with carb cravings (and not the good kind, either).
Since I started ingesting - knowing that the DMSO is transporting everything everywhere - it has curbed my cravings - just don't want to add anything else into the mix. Plus - whatever it is the internal DMSO does - seems to help with those cravings. I just don't want it.

Natalie, I would keep trying. I would also, if tolerated, take it orally as well as apply topically. It may need to get more systemic to kick cells into the CDR cycle and flush out the “bad” ones.
I too was one who did not have a “miraculous” response but I’ve been consistently using it, both topically and occasionally orally, for well over 2 months now and have seen healing with multiple issues!!
Recently, I crashed terribly while mountain biking that left me with a very large deep bruise on my quad as well as reinjured my rotator cuff. I immediately applied DMSO along with some castor oil mixed in my hand (not sure the ratio as I was out camping on this adventure). The next morning I was in way less pain. I kept applying morning and night during my trip. I experienced the pain reducing each day and the bruise healed very quickly which is not usually how I respond to bruising.

I actually got some good results from veterinary 1%. Sometimes, less is more. I put it on my finger, and a little skin-horn dropped off, forming a crater. the crater took a week to heal, but the horn is gone.
It also clears up acne overnight. Sometimes I put it on over a witch hazel, aloe, tea tree & clary sage lotion. But DMSO is the only thing that shifts my acne. And the 1% seemed to be strong enough!

I used a steroid for a few days eventhough I was reluctant. It may have helped a little. But what I've mostly done is use a natural moisturizer several times a day on the vulvar area. I have added DMSO to the jar of that moisturizer. I also sometimes apply additional DMSO directly to the vulvar area but mostly after I applied the moisturizer to the area first. I would say that this has been more successful than the steroid cream.

I am so sorry that it's not available for the stroke patient I care for, as his sleep has been very disrupted for years now, and especially so since the stroke.
Meanwhile, your DMSO information seems to have been a game-changer for him. It's hard to know for sure whether his recent changes have been caused by the DMSO, but I’m fairly confident that they are, because prior to starting the DMSO, we were looking for a breakthrough, and the changes began almost immediately, after the very first treatment.
We are now about eight weeks into treatment and I have observed the following:
Voice is stronger, and speech is markedly improved
Appetite has increased
Dysphagia has changed dramatically — he is now able to eat normal-sized meals and even swallow while the TV is on (previously a choking hazard.)
He now feeds himself (easy foods) almost exclusively, using his affected hand.
His energy seems to be improved, with earlier mornings many days
Strength, endurance, and balance appear to be better
The most recent and undeniable change (as of the past couple of weeks) is that his sense of taste has started to return.
He also had one very lucid day where he zipped up his own jacket (notable because the fine motor skills in his right hand were quite impaired by the stroke.) This has not yet occurred again, but even he commented at the time that it was remarkable.

Unfortunately the elderly patient has reacquired COVID. This time the EPOA is more aggressive. Told the nursing staff straight up no remdesivir. They have entered it into the elderly patient's notes. There is no ambiguity this time.
The elderly patient has already received their first dose of ivermectin. The EPOA has also been giving the elderly patient regular zeta aid which seems to have improved the elderly patient's cognition and appearance.
The EPOA will also cautiously apply a small quantity of topical DMSO to the elderly patient's chest.
The elderly patient appetite has returned, can get up unassisted, use a walker unassisted.
These gains according to the EPOA are ivermectin and substituting the hospital water for zeta aid.
We would like to thank A Midwestern Doctor for their articles on zeta potential. In this case it seems to have made a huge difference to the physical and mental wellbeing of the elderly patient.
You probably wouldn't guess this but the elderly patient's spouse is in hospital with COVID. The EPOA has administered ivermectin soon after admission.
The elderly patient is doing quite well on daily dose of ivermectin and replacement of their hospital water with zeta aid.

I was using Veterinary 1% on acne, but it just seems to chase it all over my body. I follow DMSO treatments with zinc cream, to soften the dry skin. Fix my face, my chest breaks out. Fix my chest, my belly breaks out, then my face again . . . so I increased that formula to 30% with aloe, and this tells me that my acne is systemic (so ingesting DMSO may help, see below).
The 1% did remove a tiny skin "horn" on my finger that I've been struggling with for about 5 years, but irritated the contact eczema on my forearm.
30% feels like nothing on my painful parts - osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, call it what you will. So I made up a 70%. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A CHART: at 1% it has these properties, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, etc. Because it's biohacking, and I need help!
One of my students made up a 70% with aloe & water (like my 30%), and when I tried hers, I could feel the blood rushing to the surface. Beautiful.
I made up a 70% with my favourite aloe-based pain/methyl salicylate gel. Great. But it definitely is hard on the skin, even with the aloe. My feet peel, my knees peel. The place on my neck where I use it the most has dermatitis - like dry acne, bumps that are dry. Doesn't hurt, just bumpy! Next formula I will use aloe only. I become MORE sensitive to topical when I ingest (see below.)
So - after my experiments topically, I reckoned I was ready to ingest. TERRIFIED, I tried to make 1/2 tsp for my first dose, with the intent to do 1/2 tsp daily for 3 days, just to see what it's like. Test it. Well, I couldn't find a metal 1/2 tsp, and DMSO bottle nearly full, my dose was closer to a small tsp. BY THE THIRD DAY = itching on tops of feet (where I apply 70% topically), lower back, backs of knees - anywhere the skin is thin. On the third day, my poo was burning, too. So a 3 day test was a good indicator of how I'm going to react.
But - I had been having an arthritic (?) pain flare when I started ingesting, and by the end of the 3 days, had a productive week where I got through all the classes without suffering. This tells me that I'm headed in the right direction.
I'm less afraid of that tsp now, and am trying to biohack it, listening to my body. I can't do it every day - hubby says that the rotten smell is overpowering. So 1 tsp - then wait. I still get a little itching on the day after, so that's my limit. It's just figuring out how often I can do it and get benefit. I did have one day where my wake-up was so rough, I didn't think I could make it through the day, and the DMSO (taken with barley grass, lemon juice, ACV, MSM & potassium) travelled through my body and lifted me enough to get through the day.
I can't tell if I'm using it wrong or using it right. My results are - in the right direction, but not dramatic. Not like the other stories I'm hearing! (My friend with the 70% - helped her varicose veins & bunions within a month of treatment)
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-makes-hospitals-so-deadly-and/comment/79045295
Also - another DMSO experiment.
After ingesting 3 days at 1 small tsp daily, I was no longer afraid. One of the results of that 3 day test, was that my cannabis oil was stronger. My usual dose knocked me out!
So now, since I make my own cannabis oil, I've added 0.5% DMSO to the liquid. Not enough to taste awful (though I can taste it) but enough to potentiate it. I have reduced my cannabis oil use from 5 ml a day to 3 ml daily.
I was emboldened by this experiment, and this time, added the DMSO earlier in the brewing process to "complete the extraction" and perhaps get a stronger brew from the get-go. I'm reminding myself constantly that "former doses no longer apply!"

THAT SAID, I have been ingesting DMSO, and pooing has gotten easier after the burning. (ingesting DMSO = burning poo, but at least it's moving!)

I knew I was lucky when I was in the hospital for a 2.2 hemoglobin reading. The attending ER doctor knew immediately that I was severely anemic and within 20 minutes was giving me a blood transfusion in two IVs. They saved my life three times in two weeks- anemia, found the duodenal ulcer and cauterized it with my first test, and found eight blood clots in my legs- and I'm grateful.
However, it was you, Midwestern Hero, that truly gave our family hope with DMSO. I truly hope that you can, one day, step out from behind the curtain so I can thank you properly.

iI had good success with my knee on topical dmso! also after working my arms quite a bit while working on my place in the bahamas( surfing too which is all shoulders!).. i rubbed it on shoulder. I had a pins and needles spot on right replaced shoulder. I only put it there once and it went away. Not sure how it affects the implants tho. People seem to be asking that on the sites. I put it on before i even thought about it.

I get my DMSO online - Amazon from the DMSO Store. I have bad arthritis in my ankles, feet and thumbs and decided to try it. I started at 1 teaspoon in aronia berry/cranberry juice and water (~14 - 16 oz) and now I put two teaspoons in. I am experiencing very positive changes! The swelling in my thumbs has decreased by at least 2/3 and I don't experience pain in my feet and ankles in the morning when I get up and walk around. I have been using DMSO for 2 1/2 weeks. Looking forward to see what the next couple of months will bring.

Dear "Dr. MidWest": I want to write a very quick update for you on my condition (follow up to my earlier comment in your DMSO series). I wrote to you the day I increased my DMSO to 2 tsp/day, and felt great. I felt amazing for several days: I call it a "positive rebound" and my body's way of saying, "Yes! I want this!" I can now say that I feel as if I no longer fit the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS: I've started doing longer walks with my dog and IT FEELS GOOD TO EXERCISE! (Whodathunkit?!) To be honest, of course I still feel like a very out of condition old lady (at 66 & fighting chronic illness for about 35 years). But I'll take it! So much better than old and sickly!!!
I am sincerely grateful! Keep up the GREAT work!

Hi, I recommend that you read & think hard about the cell danger response theory, and how it might apply to you. I (now) believe that everyone's triggers for ME/CFS may be different. In my own case, I had many different (even very different) triggers, which consistently made my condition worse. I have gradually improved my condition by learning to understand these triggers and eliminate them. Among my most potent triggers are toxins: I have to be *very* careful about any/all medicines I take (in fact, I think that the worst triggers have been iatrogenic). Over the years/decades, I have learned how to reduce the toxic load (which included moving away from city pollution and relocating to a rural area by the sea where the air is mostly clean). It is a SLOW process! I've had some good doctors, including one who did genetic testing & discovered that I have a genetic "glitch" that means I don't make glutathione (critical for detox), so I've been taking this as a supplement. I also have been tested extensively & take a gazillion nutritional supplements - toxins can deplete these, too. I had hormonal testing, and take bioidentical hormone supplements for these imbalances. These helped a lot. Recently, I was diagnosed with MCAS (mast cell activation), and was prescribed a mast cell stabilizer (ketotifen): I had to go VERY LOW AND SLOW on this (and most meds), but it has also helped. And I have improved over the years. I feel that there was "something" (???) which was impeding my progress but no idea what. I suspect that DMSO has helped with whatever this was that has blocked further progress - still no idea what though. So, in short, I no longer believe that there is "a medicine" or any one thing that will help everyone with ME/CFS. I believe that ME/CFS is a symptom which results from many different kinds of stresses which are simply too much for our bodies to manage well. (I know that is not what you are looking for, but I hope it helps anyway.) Good luck!
been rubbing dmso with castor oil on the back of my neck for pain(I swear my memory has improved a bit lol).

I used topical DMSO gel on a 1-inch diameter spot on my scalp and it flaked off after four applications. That black spot had been there for years. I'm currently working on another one that seems to be a bit more stubborn. I'm using DMSO in addition to fluorouracil compound on it. It is shrinking nicely - noticeably so.

Since reading about DMSO I ordered the 99% and have been diluting it to 50% and applying it to my knees, so far, so good

I should just mention (for balance), I took DMSO for several weeks internally, and it helped my prostate and calmed my gut.

My husband and I have been using DMSO for about a year now for aches and pains. I’ve read all your articles that you have posted. This past week I got a call from my neighbor saying he was having chest pains. His wife was on the phone with 911. Without hesitation I grabbed our 100% roll-on. I assessed his vital signs then asked if I could roll on the DMSO over his chest. EMS took over 15 minutes to get to us and another 20 minutes to the hospital. They took him to the cardiac lab immediately to place 2 stents in a 100% blocked LAD. I have no idea if the DMSO helped but I was glad I had it and applied it. He’s doing well and should be coming home from the hospital today.

I made ear drops of 10%dmso and 90% colloidal silver (I got that recipe from a book called Healing with DMSO by Amanda Vollmer). I had been having issues with ear fullness and dizziness- maybe some tinnitus- for over a year. All of that resolved after only a handful of dosses (a couple drops in ear twice a day). I was shocked as I had tried many things without success before that.

My retired husband, a type 2 diabetic, developed venous ulcers on his lower legs in the summer of 2023. He spent a year making trips to a wound care specialist, and having home health come twice a week to treat and wrap his calves. My husband isn't particularly compliant with wearing the heavy-duty compression hose or elevating his legs daily; and due to balance problems that are probably related to his BP meds, doesn't make much effort to exercise or even just walk around our yard.
Within two months of stopping treatment, his ulcers began to return. We've been treating them with 50% DMSO gel rubbed all over both lower legs and feet, and less-compressive wraps. The ulcers have significantly improved in only two weeks.

Several weeks ago I applied 70% DMSO (liquid) to the area of my tendinitis (golfer’s elbow). I applied it once a day for 6 days. It began to help the pain. I stopped applying it because I got an outbreak of psoriasis on the same arm in the area of my upper arm, above the tendinitis. I have no idea if it was related to the application of the DMSO.

I am so grateful for this entire series. I had uncles who swore by DMSO years ago. As I have some autoimmune and systemic weirdness, I decided to give it a try. I've started with 50% solution topically with good tolerance, and tried my first oral dose this morning of 2 cc 50% DMSO. Tasty (Not!)
My question has to do with blending DMSO with herbal tinctures and or juice, rather than in water. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-protects-and-heals-the-internal/comment/77639710
At the recommendation of my wife, a long term integrative physician, I've started with about 2 to 3 cc of 50% DMSO for a week, and have then increased my topical application and have just started low dosing it orally.
I've had no untoward effects, and have noticed my arthritis pain in my hands and knees is less.

I have a similar response nightly [calmness and errections] and am taking just 1/2 tsp internally each day. I believe it is due to vasodilation.

This is so great! Appreciate you sharing. DMSO is like the miracle drug we never knew we needed. Having started applying it topically twice a day, I can attest to the sense of calm and better sleep, and I already slept well.

A handful of years ago, I started "grounding" myself at night (donning a conductive bracelet connected by wire to the ground of an electrical outlet). At that time, my dreams got more vivid and satisfying (like a good sitcom you hate to see end). It is possible DMSO has bumped that up a notch, although I can't say for sure, and it could be from suggestion.

From my experience, while I am a fast reader with great comprehension with written words, one of the things that I find very helpful for learning is moving/working while listening to information. Whether it's an audio book, podcast, or whatever, I listen to lots of stuff while doing fairly mindless work such as washing dishes, weeding in the garden, splitting firewood, or cleaning houses which I do as a job. Any of those kinds of things seem to help me retain information well. I am not sure why, but something about physical movement or activity helps my brain focus better.
Separately, after several weeks of taking DMSO internally now I have indeed noticed increased dreaming. Most of my life I have either not dreamed at all or at least had no memory of any dreams. But I have always slept very deeply and soundly. Usually falling asleep within seconds of laying down and having no memory of anything until morning. When I supplemented 5HTP for a while a few years back I started to dream a lot for the first time in my life. And now I am experiencing the same thing. I know a lot of folks seem to enjoy dreaming, but for me it feels like a disruption to the deep sound sleep I have enjoyed for most of my life which I much prefer. That's my experience. Thank you as always for your work to benefit so many people with your knowledge!

Thank you for all your writings. The medical / health topics are extremely helpful - eg in the last few weeks I have managed to improve a nasty scar from an accident by about 50% by using DMSO topically, and also to rid myself of regular and very painful migraines, again through using DMSO on the base of my skull. Hard to believe that either could be be achieved solely by the placebo effect, but if they were I am still very grateful.

Dear AMD, thank you! I came across an X link from Pierre Kory at just the right time with my husband prescribed cataract operations for diminishing sight and his eye pressure rising 4 points in 1 year, despite treatment with eye drops, leading to glaucoma risk. He decided to try strong DMSO drops, along with his existing eye drops and after 2 months had a marked improvement in his sight, particularly the worst eye. After 4 months more improvement beyond doubt using a home printed eye chart - not calibrated but useful. After his optician test this week his eye pressure had gone back down 2 points in 4 months. Carrying on to see if he can get it to normal. Thanks again

I previously read a book on DMSO and have used it successfully on my psoriasis for about a year, but you Doctor, are blowing my mind about all sorts of healing potential in DMSO that I hadn't heard of or even considered! I've been studying natural treatments and medicines for over 15 years since I was diagnosed with 2 autoimmune diseases in my early 20's. It's become apparent to me how much of the really good and effective medicine has been intentionally buried even at the cost of countless careers and lives.
Thank you so much for this vital, life-saving information. I subscribed after reading just the first 2 articles and even just one of them was worth the price of the subscription to me. If you ever publish a printed book, I'll be pre-ordering it.
I'm glad we're legally able to buy DMSO, but with the suppression of understanding of how to use it I've been unable to use it to it's full healing potential - until now!
You're a rebel and a revolutionary. I'm deeply grateful you're putting your very life on the line to present this information. Your articles this week are a literal answer to my prayers and I'll be using this information to help my whole extended family (I'm the designated family health and nutrition researcher ;)
I hope you'll keep ignoring the complainers because you're saving lives and QUALITY of lives in a country that's been betrayed by it's government for pharmaceutical blood money.
Sincerely,
A new reader in Utah

I have been applying DMSO topically on my face, neck and around my ears, as well as several parts of my body (arms, legs, abdomen).
A few things:
1) A skin tag on one of my arms dried up and fell off.
2) One of the covid vaccine side effects that I experienced is that I lost hearing in the low tone and high tones. After topical use of DMSO for several months, my low tone mild hearing impairment is now in the normal range. It improved by 10 to 15 dB in both ears. However, my high tone hearing impairment has not yet improved.
3) I have not been as susceptible to respiratory imfections.
4) My brain fog has improved. (Another covid vaccine side effect).
5) I am more emotionally balanced and feel energetically protected.
I am 51 years old, for reference.
Thank you for all of the info you share!

I have suffered from severe dry eye for years. (I've had to have Meibomian Gland Probing done twice for my condition, in addition to numerous other treatments). I am having a positive experience using 40% DMSO eye drops. I purchased from the DMSO store. I find I need much less commercial eye drops. I use the DMSO drops throughout the day. My eye care routine now is the DMSO eye drops, massage around the eye area to move the oil (here is a helpful video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50A1Wr8XrOU -which my dry eye doctor supports) and daily heated mask. I am very hopeful about the continued benefit of the DMSO drops.

I have vertigo, tinnitus as well as arthritis in one knee. I’m using a 90% strength DMSO undiluted - on my knee, scalp and behind my ears BID. I’ve found the arthritis pain has reduced somewhat but need to experiment in all kinds of weather air pressure to be sure. Holding hope for the vertigo & tinnitus. Will let you know if there is significant improvements
In his post he writes: Additionally, many instead mix DMSO with easily available antimicrobial substances. For example, one author advocates for putting chlorine dioxide (e.g., 2 drops of activated MMS in 10ml water) or hydrogen peroxide (1-3%) immediately before or after applying DMSO.
I would use Distilled water with the DMSO. I haven’t done it yet. I’ve put DMSO on &/or behind my ears, neck & arthritic knee and finger. I thought I would try this prior to inserting it into ear. I should not try 2 things at once all the same I’m trying acupuncture with someone trained in China and Canada. Completed 2x to date. I seem to be slightly less affected by vertigo. As per recommend (in chat) I am taking 2 days off a week from the DMSO. The DMSO has worked way better for me than MJ cream ( with Arnica, Juniper, Marijuana) Japanese mint oil, other ess. oils, even better than Hemp-Ease Aid spray which let me sleep, & other over counter crap found in drugstores. DMSO has risen to the top for working at pain relief. I am not giving up on its assistance with tinnitus & vertigo. Time will tell.

Because of your articles….I started using DMSO with aloe, a roll on, and my fingers are straightening out, matching the size of my fingers on the non affected hand! Even Heberden nodes are shrinking….im taking pictures as proof if you’re interested! I developed this condition when I started lifting kettle bell weights for osteoporosis, I don’t do drugs after watching my mom suffer, while I didn’t have much arthritic pain, my fingers were deformed. For years…it’s a miracle! Thank you thank you thank you!

It turns out that our daughter has herpes zoster ophthalmicus which is shingles on the eye/face. Fascinating because she has never been vaccinated and has not had chicken pox. She has the “Hutchinsons sign” at the end of her nose so we are alert for changes with her eye and vision.
We have continued 2x daily eye drops of 20% DMSO. We also use it on the rash/lesions along with colloidal silver gel to help with healing the skin.
It has been about 10 days and the legions are slowing down and scabbing up.
She saw an opthalmologist today and he confirmed there are no concerns about the eye or cornea. He lectured me about vaccines etc but I think he was generally intrigued that we let her body manage the virus with the help of DMSO and without prescription antivirals. He is 70+ and has never seen HZO in a child. We are going to watch and wait and continue with the DMSO treatment.

I’ve been working on my thyroid for quite awhile. I had some desiccated products from my functional med doc but numbers didn’t change much. I eat a pro metabolic diet now with clean easy to digest carbs having stopped long term very low carb and keto that was probably the reason I have thyroid damage. Or this runs in my family. Every family woman around the table at thanksgiving had something. Mostly hashimotos. It’s been a year on this kind of eating and I started adding a little T3 in September. I have blood tests this month. In many places I read it’s not the numbers that mean so much. It’s how you feel and symptoms so that’s how I gauge it. Since DMSO orally I am sleeping sounder, my digestive system and mood seems better and more energy. It could because I’ve found my correct dose of T3 as well. So who knows. Right now I take 1 1/2 teaspoons twice a day breakfast and dinner. I put it into orange juice. My dilutions (70% brushed on thyroid area) use distilled water. My husband is now using it on a facial skin lesion. (25% dilution) He is prone to basal cell carcinomas or squamous (can’t remember which one). I’m basically doctoring myself now, like many of us. AMD is a godsend. Worth every penny of a paid subscription. Good luck. Didn’t mean to get so wordy.

Until this series I only occasionally used DSMO with MMS drops but immediately started using it a lot recently and so far have great success with it:
1. Life long lower back pain (which I assume was caused by a traumatic injury to my right testicle as a child) is almost complete gone despite working as a driver which is very bad for my back. I used it topically.
2. A haemorrhoid shrank to about 20% and stopped being uncomfortable at times
3. Feels good and restoring on my face where life-long sun lotion and/or sun burns damaged my skin with spots of small benign skin cancers. (About half of the spots are gone and the skin is less irritated and flaky)
Do you have any experience or data about using DSMO in an enema? I already and it doesn't seem to irritate (I used a small amount maybe2 0 drops/1 ml 100%) DMSO) mixed with some medicine in both, a 150 ml coffee enema and 150 ml salty water enema, both checked to have a PH between 7 and 8) and no cramps or problems whatsoever but a very strong onset of symptoms of the medicine, despite using the about the same mount of medicine in water only before. In other words, mixing the medicine in 100% DSMO first, and then adding it to the 150 ml enema, seemed to have a much stronger effect of the medicine. As this medicine is expensive, I wonder if DMSO can be used as an amplifier and therefore getting the same effect with less medicine and therefore saving money. I am very aware of the dangers of mixing medicines with DMSO, especially in an irreversible enema, and I am extremely careful and do not recommend it to anyone that doesn't have vast experiences with enemas, like I do.

i tried Bryan Ardis' nicotine protocol for remaining "long covid" symptoms:
https://thedrardisshow.com/the-antidote
using a total of 26mg nicotine divided into 5 doses within 11 days, ending 9/21/24. I didn't notice any benefit. Then i started using DMSO on 9/24, applying some almost daily.
On 9/29/24 i noticed my sense of smell was much better and so was my sense of taste! I had completely lost those senses in August 2022 but had done a lot of essential oil inhalation therapy which restored my smell and taste back then. I thought it was at least 95% restored. But it wasn't, and i only realized this after using the nicotine patch and the DMSO. Not sure if it was just a delayed reaction from the nic patches, or if the subsequent dmso helped too.
i really don't know if it was the dmso at all - i actually think it was more likely the nicotine patches as described above, perhaps potentiated by the dmso, tho i think MWD may have mentioned somewhere that dmso has temporarily restored smell or taste in some cases. But as far as i can tell, this latest improvement is not temporary. I used a total of one and one quarter 21mg nicotine patches within 11 days. Then a few days later i put dmso on my back/hip for a few days (i stopped due to unpleasant headaches). I used in total maybe a teaspoon of 99% dmso, diluted 50%, then 66%. Never took internally. I

Wanted to give you feedback after going through 1 gallon of DMSO. My grey hair is turning back to brown..abit. I find the taste of DMSO fairly agreeable: i mix two teaspoons of 99.9% with 6/8 ounces of water every other day.
Here's what I did, Ladyred. I have "fibromyalgia," too (or at least, that's how I describe it to people so that they understand). After I gained some confidence topically that I was not going to react, I took a small tsp in my morning juice for 3 days.
My only metal measuring spoon is a tsp (oh to have Mom's old measuring spoons!) so I ***tried*** to take 1/2 tsp, but failed. So a "small" tsp, as small as I could.
By the 3rd day, I was starting to have a histamine reaction (itchy all over), so I quit (though I had only planned a 3 day trial). BUT - it seems to have made my pain protocols more effective, reduced pain by about 25%. I teach tai chi, and have arthritic catches, freezes, stabbing pains - my students don't know, but I do. After the 3 days - NO such events in class.
One of my pain medicines is cannabis oil. After that 3 day treatment, my cannabis oil seems more effective. I've decided to put 1 ml DMSO in 175 ml oil (0.5%) to increase efficacy . It does make the oil taste worse, but not unbearably so - and I believe it will help send the medicine to my cells, and improve zeta potential. It's a tiny tiny dose - but now that I understand better how it works, I'm starting to hack into DMSO's power.
I plan to do the 3 day course (I certainly couldn't do it every day forever!) periodically (once a month? when I have a flare-up?), to see what kind of progress I can make. 3 tsps (less, actually) over 3 days, then wait & see.

Had to have a dental extraction the other week, they broke the molar out of my jaw. They told me to expect 72 hours of swelling and lots of pain to be managed with Tylenol and Ibuprofen every 4 hours. I used none of it. I went home and used an organic tea bag (I didn't have organic gauze) to hold a half-pea sized amount of DMSO gel in the extraction site. Swelling went down within minutes. Pain receded. I repeated as needed like 4-5 times the rest of the day to manage pain. And once a day for the following couple days. Truly amazing.

I bought DMSO, and have been taking about 7ml mixed in fruit juice night and morning. After a short time, maybe 15 mins, any slight asthma I have is completely gone.

A bit of anecdotal evidence for DMSO here… After reading your articles about it, I purchased a bottle to keep on hand for my family. My 8 year old son is in numerous sports and one day had a pretty bad ankle sprain due to a sliding collision in baseball. By the time we put him to bed his ankle was swollen to twice its size and bruised purple, even after rest and ice. So, I generously slathered his ankle with DMSO and he slept all night with it on. The next morning I went to check on him and could not believe my eyes— the bruise was completely gone and the swelling had reduced by 2/3. His pain was minimal and he could walk on it; although he wasn’t as fast as usual. This was after only eight hours. I applied more DMSO that morning and he went on to be able to play in the championship game later that day and ultimately won the tournament, whereas the night before I was almost certain he’d have to sit out due to the injury. By 24 hours he was completely back to normal with no pain at all.
We’ve not used it for anything else yet, but this is going to be a staple for my family. Truly miraculous stuff. Thank you for educating me about it!

I am the person that first mentioned Onyx to you, many moons ago. I thought you would be amused by something that just happened to me. I have been using DMSO gel for about a week now, and last night I took 1/2 teaspoon of it in liquid form. I just approached a colleague to ask her a question, and she blurted out, “You smell like Onyx!”
It was the opening to tell her about DMSO, and to share your articles., to which she was very open. The funny thing is, I did not realize I smell as bad as I do! :D

I'm an 88 year old lady. My daughter gave me a small bottle of DMSO a few years ago; she said it was for pain and for me to "look it up". At the time I couldn't find anything about it, so I threw it in a drawer and forgot about it.
When A Midwestern Doctor first wrote about it, I quickly went to search for the bottle, still in it's cardboard container and never opened. It's made in Germany.
After reading the good doctor's essay, I started applying it to my feet for neuropathy. And it does help to relieve it. Pain in the lower back-gone. Also on my chest for breathing issues-no help there, yet. Found out that anything above my waist would give me a stinging effect, which dissipated within a few minutes.

I've used DMSO for some years for various issues and usually have had good results.

In an earlier Substack, you mentioned DMSO seems to be more effective on smaller joints. I have arthritic changes in the left abductor pollicis breves tendon. It was causing me a lot of sharp pain on and off and there was limitation of range of motion and ability to open jars, etc. I have been applying the DMSO 100% liquid from the DMSO store for about two weeks. The pain is gone and the ROM has improved dramatically. There’s still a difference compared to the right, but the improvement is remarkable. I am also using it on the right upper back and cervical spine as I have carpal tunnel symptoms of tingling in my right hand. It’s also working, but not as quickly as the thumb. Every time you write about it, I try to read everything. I printed one of your articles so I could re-read and underline. I wish I could give it to my chronic pain patients without fear of repercussions. One of them has Rheumatoid Arthritis, is homeless, and is hooked on Fentanyl due to the pain. It’s hard for me to understand that I can buy this and use it on myself, but I cannot prescribe it for her.

I rubbed some of my DMSO into my mother's painful bunion the other day. (I use it to treat my arthritic fingers but have also used it to eliminate excrutiating tooth pain and infection.)... it alleviated her bunion pain.

As far as sleep, I found DMSO to be activating (internally) - like it was revving me up.
But when I finished the 3 day course, it seemed like my medicines were stronger. I took my regular night dose of cannabis oil, and - it knocked me out. Slept like a log. (this is what inspired my next experiment, below.)
Midwestern Doc is a fan of pulsing. Few days on, take a break, wait until you think you need again.
I'm gonna do a month of daily very low dose DMSO (0.05% in my cannabis oil) for my next experiment. I'll be thankful when the month is over, my oil will taste better! I reckon it will help "transport" the cannabinoids to most needed areas.
While it's not a perfect medicine (it robs you of dreams, for example, so it's not a complete sleep cycle) - cannabis has *greatly* reduced my dependence on pharma drugs. Because I was "experienced," I no longer get "high" or "stoned," just a little 20% release so that I can do the next thing.

I have found using DMSO helps by taking a teaspoon of DMSO I can lower my Xanax significantly but still I only sleep a couple of hours. I’m not likely to take those two every two hours, lol. The DMSO has helped me heal dozens of issues our health care system assisted me to acquire. I was an RN for 25 years but I suppose it’s karmic debt.

Thank you for being a truthful individual about the FDA and their shenanigans. They are one of the developed Rockefeller organization in the early 1930’s, so anyone listening to them and taking their advice will surely have disease through their lives along with an early death. That has always been the program. I use DMSO everyday in various ways. It has cleaned by gut, blood and repaired my ligaments along with Hemp, castor oil, and minerals. Keep writing!!!

Local honey.
Manuka if you can get it.
Prior to DMSO it was the only thing that had an effect on my cystic acne. Messy, but put that bandaid over it and overnight, it's better. (maybe not fixed, but better)

I used a different protocol to clear an extremely painful tooth infection when I was in the States in 2016.
Found some dmso, food grade hydrogen peroxide and organic coconut oil.
First, I did oil pulling.
Next: rubbed dmso on infected molar. Then applied the h2o2.
One application. Pain disappeared. As did the infection.
Note: A year or so
later, while chewing on a carne asada burrito, a large percentege of that (now dead) tooth cracked off and I bit into it. (Spit it out, thinking it was piece of bone...)
Slowly but surely, most of that tooth is now gone, lost it in bits and sots, but most importantly: zero pain and no infection.

I bought mine from Amazon Australia. It’s 99.9% DMSO gel. Have had the most painful osteoarthritis for the last ~10 years on and off (it moves around from one joint into another. My knee pain is severely limiting my life. So I felt I had little to lose. Seems to be working a treat so far - I just rub the gel into both knees, and my left hip (currently). The pain is DEFINITELY less!

I have just today started to gargle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil and swallow that just before taking the DMSO as my throat had been made a little sore by it I found, so the oil is to coat throat tissues first and prevent any potential harsh drying effects on the throat tissue.
I have also just started taking 500 mg Calcium Disodium EDTA powder dissolved in a little hot water every morning on an empty stomach for Long COVID/nanotech removal, it really works and you can really feel that it does, and the DMSO is making further big differences too. Calcium Disodium EDTA is the only specific molecular formula of EDTA that is safe for human use (there is more than one molecular formula of EDTA).
I first started 2 x 5 ml DMSO a day but have now cautiously cut back to drinking just 5 ml 99.99% DMSO in the mornings first thing, using 1 inch of orange juice added to it in the bottom of a coffee mug, just enough orange juice so that I can knock the whole lot back in one single swig. This leaves a very bitter taste so I follow this with a few more small cupfulls of straight orange juice to rinse out the cup and rinse away all the taste, or any smoothie drink will do really, sweeter-tasting ones are better to get rid of the lingering bitterness.
I spilt some DMSO on the plastic top of my washing machine while transferring it to a dark brown glass bottle and it took the surface clean off that softer type of plastic straight away, leaving marks there, and when I scrubbed my fingernail over those markings the marked surface plastic came straight off, powerful stuff! But that is a softer plastic than Dr Jacobs sells his DMSO in, but I still don't trust any type of plastic at all.
Different plastics are more stable with DMSO and some manufacturers sell it in plastic bottles, though dark brown glass is the ultimate non-reactive safety container for it really to store it in long-term.
It is good to experiment with DMSO to see its effect on a small patch of skin to teach yourself what it can do, then you can be sure to be very careful with it in future, if you put neat DMSO on a small inconspicuous non-visible test area of your skin and leave it, for a few days afterwards you get really thick dry heavily wrinkled skin there appearing like the soles of your feet do when you have been swimming for ages (this will happen to your fingers too), and that can be quite itchy and sore, but this fully returns to normal skin after a few days further, but do not rub this when sore and itchy, as the skin can come off making it worse, been there, done it.
But the good effects on my body have been amazing so far.
My tongue suddenly seems to be almost devoid of fur in the mornings now just since starting the DMSO, I used to get a lot of thick yellow fur in the middle and back of the top of my tongue every morning, now there is only a very delicate frosting of very thin white fur covering a much smaller area that is almost negligible, which I clean off with a freshly-washed very thin microfibre cloth every morning which works vastly better than anything else for cleaning the tongue, as tongue scrapers are pretty useless really in comparison.
My hands have stopped contracting and locking in a painful cramp when I try to grip something, this is an effect of Long COVID/chronic neuropathy caused by 2 months ICU treatment that has persisted now for 3 years - a Long COVID specialist I managed to finally see in a different area to where I live after nearly 3 years after my own local health authority repeatedly lied and refused to offer me any help at all told me much of the damage I have now been left with was actually caused by the treatment in ICU rather than the COVID (bioweapon) itself, he told me many of his patients have very similar injuries to mine.
I have had very bad highly painful frequent leg cramps since COVID too, possibly related to the widespread resultant chronic neuropathy I have been diagnosed with, or maybe the cramps have been due to some other related as-yet undiagnosed developing neurological condition but do not seem to have had any cramps in my legs for a few days now, maybe that state of relief will continue, I certainly hope so. The improved blood circulation from the DMSO and Calcium Disodium EDTA will do a lot to help that I am sure.
My legs were very cyanotic, or bluish purple in colour from a hole in my heart newly-acquired from COVID damage in ICU, but now the blue purple discolouration is suddenly greatly improved, though this is just October in the UK and quite mild still, so when it gets really cold I will see if my legs still stay normal colour then too as they are now, a healthy white all over, but so far so good, my legs look a normal healthy colour now with no cyanotic discolouration for the first time in 3 years.
My tinnitus has lessened. Ever since COVID I have suffered a constant 3 tone tinnitus, like jets on a runway, like a dentist's drill, and like a car engine standing running at the same time 24/7, but the whole of my body has seemed to be buzzing at the same time, and my blood has felt highly toxic ever since COVID, but I have noticed that only just since starting drinking a little DMSO a few days after starting Calcium Disodium EDTA, only just after starting DMSO the tinnitus buzzing/vibrating noise/sensation in my head that seems to extend throughout my body is markedly lessened, though I do not know if I will be able to tolerate drinking DMSO on a continual basis every day as my throat is now quite sore and the glands a little hard and swollen, but having just started the olive oil gargling and drinking today I will see if that sorts that problem out, though that will likely take a few days to resolve, bearing in mind what DMSO does to skin neat for days after. And if my throat settles down, I will try going back up to 2 x 5 ml DMSO a day as I first started off with, which gave me most quietening and peace from tinnitus.
I seem to be able to breathe more slowly now too, so the way my body processes oxygen seems to be changing for the better when I use DMSO, scientists have found that the way people's lungs process air is very different following COVID, but I seem to be able to get oxygen from the air I breathe a little easier now after taking DMSO and my breathing at last now seems markedly less asthmatic and rapid all the time these last few days after 3 years of bad breathlessness and dizziness. Asthma and dizziness are other little 'gifts' from the COVID bioweapon that the government left me with that I had never suffered from before in all of my life.

Thankyou for the kind suggestions on the hands, I wonder if trigger finger is what it is, either of my entire hands has been suddenly cramping when engaged in the slightest effort sometimes and then all the fingers and hand painfully cramp and lock and twist, arching right up and back towards the wrist, I get some relief from these kinds of cramps with potassium but I seem to be getting very good relief at the moment from the EDTA/DMSO. Cramping/neurological problems are very common parts of the Long COVID syndrome, I will look into the PT thing, cheers.

PS the olive oil (and I have even starting using hemp oil) to gargle with before drinking the DMSO solution seems to have rapidly resolved the sore throat and swollen gland problem. I remember the same thing happening a few years back when I drank some DMSO back then too, so the gargle with oil is a great idea if you intend to drink DMSO, and so far so good.

Hubs and I eliminated the prickly itching thing by using some type of herbal salve with the DMSO. For my arthritis and general joint pain, we either use Willow Balm or one of those warming salves you can get at a CBD place. Might just be that oils or anything greasy helps soothe that prickly stuff away.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-fdas-war-against-dmso-and-america/comment/74454784
It has always caused skin itching and irritation for me. But I use it anyway because it provides almost instant relief for muscles, tendon, ligament, and joint pain and/or injuries. What I've found is that that prickly itching goes away as soon as the DMSO dries, which takes only a few minutes using the 70% liquid. The gel takes a lot longer to dry and prolongs the itching, so I no longer use the gel. If the itching gets too intense such that I can't stand to wait for it to stop on its own, I just wipe the area with a clean damp wash cloth. But lately, I just bear it because with the liquid it doesn't last that long.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-fdas-war-against-dmso-and-america/comment/74432237
Ditto. I purchased a bottle recently and have only used one ounce of the 70% DMSO gell topically however my trick knee is much more stable now and I don't have the same fears of it unexpectedly giving out. Similarly my mouse hand thumb ache has almost disappeared. TAS, if you have possible reaction concerns with other pharmaceuticals then you might try a the amount that would sit on the head of a pin topically and work up gradually to assess your tolerance.

Here's what I did, Ladyred. I have "fibromyalgia," too (or at least, that's how I describe it to people so that they understand). After I gained some confidence topically that I was not going to react, I took a small tsp in my morning juice for 3 days.
My only metal measuring spoon is a tsp (oh to have Mom's old measuring spoons!) so I ***tried*** to take 1/2 tsp, but failed. So a "small" tsp, as small as I could.
By the 3rd day, I was starting to have a histamine reaction (itchy all over), so I quit (though I had only planned a 3 day trial). BUT - it seems to have made my pain protocols more effective, reduced pain by about 25%. I teach tai chi, and have arthritic catches, freezes, stabbing pains - my students don't know, but I do. After the 3 days - NO such events in class.
One of my pain medicines is cannabis oil. After that 3 day treatment, my cannabis oil seems more effective. I've decided to put 1 ml DMSO in 175 ml oil (0.5%) to increase efficacy . It does make the oil taste worse, but not unbearably so - and I believe it will help send the medicine to my cells, and improve zeta potential. It's a tiny tiny dose - but now that I understand better how it works, I'm starting to hack into DMSO's power.
I plan to do the 3 day course (I certainly couldn't do it every day forever!) periodically (once a month? when I have a flare-up?), to see what kind of progress I can make. 3 tsps (less, actually) over 3 days, then wait & see.
